New approach. Britney Spears responds extensively this Wednesday on social media to Kevin Federline, her ex-husband. The former dancer, father of her two children, Preston and Jayden, has just published his memoirs and curses the pop star.
“My ex-husband’s constant manipulations are extremely hurtful and exhausting. I have always begged and insisted to be able to live with my children,” she wrote on X this Wednesday.
In his autobiography, Kevin Federline talks about his relationship with the singer, but also about his daughters’ relationship with their mother. For example, she says – according to the good news published in the New York Times – that her children, then teenagers, refused to return to their mother because they were afraid of her.
“A knife in hand”
“Sometimes they would wake up in the night and find her standing quietly at the door, watching them sleep: ‘Oh, are you awake?’ — a knife in his hand,” he wrote. “Then she would turn around and walk away without any explanation.”
Britney Spears claims that she has only seen one of her children “45 minutes in the last five years” and “the other has only visited me four times in the last five.”
“Relationships with adolescents are complex,” he continues. “I felt demoralized by this situation and always asked them, even begged them, to be a part of my life. Unfortunately, they always witnessed the lack of respect their father showed me.”
Alimony
When the couple divorced in 2007, the two children were left in the care of their father, due to depressive disorders that contributed to the singer’s descent into hellas Ronan Farrow told in 2021 in a long New Yorker investigation. It was in 2007 when the singer, then in a detox center and harassed by paparazzi, entered a hair salon and shaved her head.
Britney Spears was then placed under conservatorship and was not able to free herself from it until 2021 and regain control of her life. She told her version of events in her autobiography The Woman in Me, published in 2023.
The singer, who was married to Kevin Federline from 2004 to 2007, paid him $20,000 child support until they came of age. This payment has ceased, as the younger of the two boys is now 19 years old.
On social media, Britney Spears fans accuse Kevin Federline of wanting to take advantage of the singer and publish this book for money.
Kevin Ferdeline defends himself in an interview with Entertainment Tonight that he doesn’t do this for money.
“Money is not the cause of this, it never has been. I’m doing this now because I wanted to make sure my kids are old enough to understand what I’m doing.”
“Something irreversible”
In his book, Kevin Federline also says he is worried about the singer. “In reality, this situation with Britney seems to be heading towards something irreversible,” he wrote.
Since the end of her conservatorship, the singer has periodically posted videos on social media, often showing her dancing in lingerie, which continues to fuel the concern of her fans. In September 2023, the police even had to go to the star’s house after a video was broadcast in which she danced with knives.
“It has become impossible to pretend that everything is fine,” writes Kevin Federline, who predicts that “something bad is going to happen.” “My biggest fear is that our children will be left alone and face the consequences.”
“Don’t pay attention to the tabloids talking about my mental health and my drinking,” Britney Spears responds. “I’m actually a pretty intelligent woman and I’ve been trying to live a private life for the last five years.”
