Summary
- Britney Spears responds to ex-husband Kevin Federline's memoir
- Spears accuses Federline of "gaslighting" and disrespect
- Spears says she has "always pleaded" to have a life with their sons
As of October 16, 2025, pop star Britney Spears has responded angrily to claims made by her ex-husband, Kevin Federline, in his new memoir "You Thought You Knew." Spears took to social media to address Federline's accusations, particularly regarding her relationship with their two sons, Sean Preston (20) and Jayden James (19).
Spears described the "constant gaslighting" from Federline as "extremely hurtful and exhausting," stating that she has "always pleaded and screamed to have a life" with her boys. She expressed feeling "demoralized" by the situation, especially given that she has "always asked and almost begged" for her sons to be in her life.
The pop star also lambasted Federline's book as being full of "white lies" that are "going straight to the bank," while she is the one who "genuinely gets hurt here." Spears asserted that she is "a pretty intelligent woman" who has been trying to live a "sacred and private life" in recent years.
Spears and Federline's relationship has been tumultuous since their divorce in 2006, with Federline granted sole legal and physical custody of their sons during Spears' conservatorship, which ended in 2021.
