Britney Spears was spotted out this week in Thousand Oaks, California in her first public sighting since her feud with her sister Jamie Lynn erupted online.
The 40-year-old pop star has denounced her sister as a 'scum person' for telling 'crazy lies' about her in her upcoming memoir called Things I Should Have Said.
When she was seen out and about this week, Britney appeared somewhat downcast while seated at the wheel of her white Mercedes-AMG SL 63.

The Toxic singer was wearing a stylish pair of white-rimmed sunglasses and accessorized her look with a pair of earrings.
Britney's driving privileges were restored to her last July after being almost totally rescinded when her conservatorship began in 2008.
Before that she was photographed driving with her infant son in her lap, caught on camera running red lights and accused of running over a paparazzo's toes.
Britney's conservatorship lasted 13 years, dating back to her notorious breakdown that occurred in 2007 and 2008.

Last year she succeeded first in having her father Jamie removed as her conservator and then in being released from her conservatorship altogether.
However now she is locked in a war of words with her younger sister Jamie Lynn, who is on the verge of publishing a memoir with shocking claims about Britney.
Jamie Lynn got cryptic in one of the most recent posts to her Instagram story, posting a black photo with white lettering which read, 'Nobody trashes your name more than someone who's afraid you'll tell people the truth.'
Her cryptic post was followed on her Instagram story by a picture of the cover of an issue of People which had a story about her.

Jamie Lynn's posts came just a few days after her sister Britney called her some pretty harsh names.
Her harsh words, packaged in a fiery Twitter rant, came in light of her sister's allegation that Britney once locked the pair in a room and chased her around with a knife.
Jamie Lynn made the claims in her new book titled Things I Never Said, where she describes her sister's behavior as 'erratic, paranoid and, spiraling.'

Britney, 40, wrote: 'Jamie Lynn .. congrats babe! You've stooped to a whole new level of LOW .. I've never been around you ever with a knife or would I ever even think to do such !!!'
'The only knife I ever saw you with at home was cutting the biggest pieces of squash I ever saw in my life and it was way too big for me to cut... So please please stop with these crazy lies for the Hollywood books !!!'
'NOW and only NOW I do know only a scum person would make up such things about someone... I'm actually very confused about you making that up because it's honestly not like you at all !!!'
She went on: 'Around the kids ???? Jamie Lynn, seriously ??? Come on !!! Congrats on introducing your older sister the concept of getting LOW ... LOWER ... LOWEST ... because you win on that one, babe !!!'
The astonishing knife claim was revealed during a conversation with Juju Chang on Wednesday's Nightline, where Jamie Lynn was asked why she included it in her memoir.
Talking about the alleged incident further, Jamie Lynn added: 'I was scared. That was a moment I had. I also was fearful to really say anything because I didn't want to upset anybody, but I also was so upset that she didn't feel safe.'
In a separate alleged incident, Jamie Lynn claimed Britney began 'screaming' in her face, years later.
'She cursed at me and so I just walked out of the room, we're all family, I'm not trying to argue.
