Explaining Britney’s heartbreaking post as she drags her ex husband for his book slating her

Britney Spears is going through hell right now, and after all the hell she’s already endured you’d think we’d have got to a place where we wouldn’t have to be writing this. Her ex husband Kevin Federline has just released his memoir where he’s been less than kind about the icon and her relationship with the two sons they have together – and Britney has posted two rare statements about the situation that are extremely heartfelt. It can be quite hard to work out what the situation actually is, so here’s a simple rundown explaining the drama with what Britney Spears is saying about Kevin Federline and his book as she claps back at the things her chancer ex husband has said about her.

Some context

Britney Spears and Kevin Federline were married for three years between 2004 and 2007. In that time they had two sons, Sean Preston and Jayden James who are 20 and 19 now respectively. Obviously, when the boys turned 18 – Britney stopped having to pay child support to Kevin Federline for the two lads. Kevin Federline was previously claiming $40,000 a month from Britney that has now stopped, so he’s released a memoir where he speaks about her and her fractured relationship with her children.

In the book, Kevin claims that Sean Preston and Jayden were afraid of Britney because of what he claims to be erratic behaviour. “They would awaken sometimes at night to find her standing silently in the doorway, watching them sleep — ‘Oh, you’re awake?’ — with a knife in her hand,” he writes. “Then she’d turn around and pad off without explanation.”

Britney’s reps told The Independent ““With news from Kevin’s book breaking, once again he and others are profiting off her and sadly it comes after child support has ended with Kevin.”

Britney has posted two heartbreaking statements herself in rare posts

Britney Spears rarely posts on social media expressing herself in serious tone, with most of her content being fun dancing videos that she’s become known for. But she has posted twice about the Kevin book, with Britney explaining her perspective on the drama.

Her first post reads “The constant gaslighting from 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. I have felt demoralised 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 own father for me. They need to take responsibility for themselves. With one son only seeing me for 45 min in the past 5 years and the other with only 4 visits in the past 5 years. I have pride too. From now on I will let them know when I am available.

“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. I am actually a pretty intelligent woman who has been trying to live a sacred and private life the past 5 years. I speak on this because I have had enough and any real woman would do the same.”

In a follow up, last night Britney shared how the Kevin book had made her extremely emotional and wrote in a passionate post “To be loved unconditionally and with a naive heart like mine, always being threatened or made to believe I’m the bad one as they profit off my pain. Oh dear Jesus, show me there is a God and I can too be loved unconditionally and not have to be so perfect cause it’s really interesting.

“I 100 percent beg to differ the way he is literally attacking me in his interviews. If truth be told the man in the interview went STRAIGHT TO the SOURCE and said it CLEAR AS DAY. No money from Britney for five years you trying to get paid that’s what general America is saying weird you both have moved on. Your kids are adults it’s a different world now … why is HE SO ANGRY … and what’s scary is he’s convincing.

“It literally blows my mind the moments he stops before he cries are you f*cking serious … I know his book will sell loads more than mine. If you really love someone then you don’t help them by humiliating them. What scared me was how serious and angry he got, people have no idea, it is way worse than anyone could imagine… the boy hates me and it is deep anger to literally say the things he is saying.”

She then says how to heal she’s been creating a herb and flora greenhouse and wants to go for lunch with Michelle Pfeiffer and Paris Jackson. Extremely Britney tangent to go on. Hope she gets her wish, always.
