The Sometimes singer further said of Sean and Jayden, "From now on I will let them know when I am available."

She added, "Trust me, those white lies in that book, they are going straight to the bank and I am the only one who genuinely gets hurt here. I will always love them and if you really know me, you won't pay attention to the tabloids of my mental health and drinking."
