Britney Spears Responds Strongly to Kevin Federline’s Claims
Kevin Federline, the ex-husband of pop sensation Britney Spears, has stirred controversy with claims made in his forthcoming memoir titled “You Thought You Know.” The book hints at troubling behavior surrounding their sons, Sean Preston, 20, and Jayden James, 19. Federline expressed concerns about Spears’s parenting, suggesting she would watch their children sleep while holding a knife, issuing a stark warning: “Something bad is going to happen if things don’t change.”
Britney Spears Responds Strongly to Kevin Federline’s Claims
In response to Federline’s assertions, Britney Spears took to social media to challenge his narrative. She characterized his behavior as “constant gaslighting” and stated it has become “extremely hurtful and exhausting.” Spears emphasized her longing for a relationship with her children, highlighting the complexities of parenting teenage boys.
- Sean Preston: 20
- Jayden James: 19
Spears revealed the stark reality of her visits with her children over the past five years: one son has seen her for only 45 minutes, while the other has visited her just four times. “I will let them know when I am available,” she asserted.
Addressing Mental Health Concerns
Federline’s memoir alleges that Spears may require professional help, particularly in light of the aftermath of the “Free Britney” movement. He suggests that the focus should shift to a “Save Britney” initiative, claiming the situation now concerns survival rather than freedom. In an excerpt obtained by The New York Times, he remarked, “The truth is, this situation with Britney feels like it’s racing toward something irreversible.”
Background on Conservatorship and Custody
Britney Spears was under a court-ordered conservatorship from 2008 to 2021, during which time Federline held sole custody of their children. The periods of separation between Spears and her sons were significantly prolonged. Since the termination of her conservatorship, Spears has been able to reconnect with Sean and Jayden more regularly.
In her memoir, “The Woman in Me,” Spears recounts the struggles she faced regarding her family and the legal battles over her custody. She reflected on her sacrifices, voicing that she exchanged her freedom for time with her children. “My freedom in exchange for naps with my children,” she wrote.
As the controversy unfolds, Spears continues to defend her character, stating that those who truly know her will disregard the tabloids and misinformation regarding her health and lifestyle. “I am actually a pretty intelligent woman who has been trying to live a sacred and private life the past five years,” she concluded.
