Britney Spears Breaks Silence on Ex Kevin Federline’s “Hurtful” Memoir | E! News
Britney Spears has had enough. The singer calls out her ex-husband Kevin Federerline days before the release of his tell all memoir, You Thought You Knew, in which the dancer details Britney’s strain relationship with their sons, 20-year-old Shawn Preston and 19-year-old Jaden James. She writes on X, formerly Twitter October 15th, “The constant gaslighting from my ex-husband is extremely hurtful and exhausting. I have always pleaded and screamed to have a life with my boys. Relationships with teenage boys is complex. The 43-year-old continues, I have felt demoralized by this situation and have always asked and almost begged for them to be a part of my life. Sadly, they have always witnessed the lack of respect shown by their own father for me. They need to take responsibility for themselves. According to Britney, she’s seen one of her sons for 45 minutes and had only four visits with the other in the past 5 years. Condemning Kevin’s book as filled with quote white lies. Britney adds, “I am the only one who genuinely gets hurt here.” Britney’s rep also slammed Kevin’s book, accusing the dancer of profiting off his ex-wife, who he was married to from 2004 to 2007. Her spokesperson shared in an October 14th statement to EN. Sadly, it comes after child support has ended with Kevin. All she cares about are her kids, Shawn Preston and Jaden James, and their well-being during this sensationalism. But for Kevin, he said the goal of his memoir is to help their sons have an incredible relationship with their mother. He told the New York Times October 14th, “It’s hard because when I really reflect on everything that’s happened, my kids do not know the woman that I married, and I’ve spent two decades trying to bridge that gap.” Kevin’s memoir, You Thought You Knew, is out October 21st.

Nobody should buy that book.
Lol – no he hasn’t made any effort to ensure the boys were with her. If he had – he would have made every effort to ensure they were with her. What a frigging liar. I’m not spending a penny on that book. I hope the publisher loses money.
Helping his kids? He is not helping by releasing a book whether based on fact or fiction. He hasn’t been in Brittany’s life for almost 20 years. He hasn’t no idea what is going on. He also helped keep her kids away from her. When she was “medicated” and making money, he still wouldn’t let her be a part of her kids life.
Every chance he could he has used his relationship with Brittany to get money and fame. Still a grifter.
I hope we're all on the same page about Kevin's dumpster bokk. I have zero interest in his book or anything else he has to say. Britney has been through enough, thanks to him and a few others. How dare he try to use Britney again. He's feeling the quench of those missing gravy train checks
If the only way a person can get people to take an interest in them is by trashing your ex or family, that shows a lot about that person.. (Harry and Markle too)
Kevin Federline needs to leave Britney alone!!
If I had to deal with crazy I would write a book too.
Looser his book garbage no more child support he need many carma only on him sick man narcissistic
He never had job using her and take care his other kids baby mama
I wont be buying this book
Kevin is likely the reason Britney was in a conservatorship . He has never shown her any respect and has drained every dollar out of her that he could get, while turning her sons against their mother. Now he can't get another dime from her so he writes a trashy book about her. When her sons gets older and mature I hope they see Kevin for who he is. Kevin needs a job now to supoort his minor kids the lifestyle Britney's sons had while he was getting those fat checks from her. I'm so glad he can no longer get a dime from her.
As someone mentioned. Kevin hasn't been in Britney's life in 20 years and don't have a clue how she's doing. His younger kjds won't be living the luxury lifestyle Britney's sons did, so Kevin needs a Job. Britney was just fine before she ever met Kevin the clown.
Kevin knows firsthand that Britney needs someone to ensure she takes her BPD meds every day. She can't do it on her own. Another public meltdown is coming.
Kevins going to do anything and everything for money now 😂
Just in Time for Halloween
This is sad, and pathetic, Kevin needs to go back to college and get a career of his own
This is shameful.
All she is asking for is grace and respect as their mother. Even Jayden said in 2022, “It’s not like she’s done anything bad; I just hope she stops attacking [the family].” That statement alone reveals the contradiction — they know she’s not bad, yet they still struggle to see her fully.
Why?
Because Britney’s sons were raised in an environment where their perception of her was filtered through people who disrespected and dehumanized her — K-Fed, Victoria, and of course, Jamie. From an early age, they were immersed in a narrative that painted their mother not as a person, but as a problem.
They didn’t get to see the full woman — only the dysfunction others claimed she was.
They were taught, consciously or not, to view her as someone broken. As someone to be pitied, managed, or ignored. Not as a mother who's essence was stolen in the legal restraints they put her in.
Imagine growing up under that weight — not just for Britney, but for the kids too. Every time she tried to show love or express herself, it was filtered through years of conditioning that told them: “There’s something wrong with her.”
Her every move was scrutinized, mocked, and used as proof that she wasn’t “normal.”
It was a cult of demonizing Britney. A flawed human, like all of us, but clearly has a good heart, who was never given a fair chance.
She didn’t deserve that treatment.
Try being treated worse than a criminal, as if you don’t deserve basic human rights.
Then ask yourself: would you still be standing?
Yet people still expect Britney to be superhuman.
She's a total nut
Looks like he finally ran out of Britney’s money now that the kids are grown
No one wants to read his book! He just wants money!
this man is nobody always trying to make money of Britney's name he is low life leach hope nobody will buy his book
I feel like he has a right to speak his truth too
Who?
Where’s Chris Crocker when you need him?
I don’t believe Brit wrote that on twitter. I’m sure someone filled in for her. She’s not mentally stable enough to write all of that.
Kevin has never cared about brittany what so ever he's the worst
Do not worry Britney. Life will eventually catch up to these men who live off the hate they foster.
From England My Daughter, Nieces & all their friends idolize Britney the same as all like her other fans
1st generation 2nd generation and these are the 3rd generation being 10Ten10 years of age and somewhere in the world there's a baby girl being born and whenever she she will be the 4th generation of Britney fans and that's what we call a Real Pop Star Britney Spears peace ✌️ out ✌️
What a dweeb. Who writes a tell all on the mother of your children. Pos.
He seems self interested he could of helped Britney many years ago now they are over 18 hes pleading for her to have a relationship with them now ???
Kanye west should get him!
Listen…Spears has to realize that her crazy as a loon behavior in the past has consequences. She has shown lots of erratic and troubling behavior…remember…now she seems shocked that he is calling out her strange behaviors. Dont go around acting like a cuckoo if you dont want the bad publicity..
He wants them to have a relationship with their mother but he continues to bridge a gap he continues to manipulate the boys like he has always done since day 1
Extremely happy to see the majority of the comment section can agree he is trash🤷🏾♀️
Whenever he shows himself uninvited in public , he just reminds us all how he is Britney's worst decision!
