We're getting an extremely personal look into Jamie Lynn Spears' world -- and man, is it rough.
The former child star is teaming up with TLC for a new special titled, "Jamie Lynn Spears: When the Lights Go Out," a one-hour event that will allow her to tell "her side of her story."
Touching on her now-infamous teen pregnancy, retreat from the public eye and subsequent return to music, the special will also include interviews with her parents, Jamie and Lynn Spears, and feature sister Britney.
The just-released trailer opens up with voiceovers explaining her shocking pregnancy at the age of 16, as she relives the moment she found out she was expecting. "I look back now, I'm like, 'Oh my gosh,'" she explains through tears.
"Jamie Lynn was, she was bad," her dad adds. "It was a bad three years."
Her pregnancy coincided with her sister's breakdown ... so yeah, it couldn't have been easy.
"I want to do something that I'm gonna be proud of," the now-25 year old says of trying to launch a new career. "I'm not just a child star and I'm not just someone's sister. I'm not just a teen mom. For the first time, this is the real story."
Here's the full synopsis from TLC:
Being a newlywed to husband Jamie Watson and taking care of her now seven year-old daughter Maddie, Jamie Lynn juggles a lot while also making time to write and work on new music.Jamie Lynn learns she has the opportunity of a lifetime to perform at the biggest stage in country music – the Grand Ole Opry. As she travels between Louisiana and Nashville and prepares to perform a song very close to her heart, she struggles with being away from Maddie. The pressure is on as she hopes to make a name for herself in the most important performance of her career to date. But just before she is set to take the stage, big sister Britney Spears and older brother Bryan Spears show up for an encouraging surprise to support their little sister.
Brit Brit pops up towards the end of the clip, hugging her sis in studio before introducing her at the Grand Ole Opry. As Britney lovingly talks about her sibling on stage, Jamie Lynn is seen bawling backstage.
