Britney Spears responds to ex-husband Kevin Federline’s memoir allegations

Britney Spears has accused ex-husband Kevin Federline of “constant gaslighting” after he made some allegations in his memoir about her relationship with their sons.

The pop star and the former backup dancer were married from 2004 to 2007. They are parents to Sean Preston, 20, and Jayden James, 19.

In the lead-up to the release of his new memoir, You Thought You Knew, Kevin has made a series of claims about Britney, including that he once witnessed her holding a knife as she sat and watched their boys sleeping.

A spokesperson shut down the allegations, but on Wednesday night, Britney took to social media to post a statement in which she asserted she has “had enough” of Kevin’s claims.

“The constant gaslighting from (my) ex-husband is extremely hurtful and exhausting,” she began. “I have always pleaded and screamed to have a life with my boys. Relationships with teenage boys is complex. I have felt demoralized by this situation and have always asked and almost begged for them to be a part of my life.”

Britney went on to claim that Kevin has shown a “lack of respect” to her over the years and revealed that she has seen one son for just 45 minutes in the past five years and had only four visits from the other.

“I have pride too. From now on I will let them know when I am available,” the 43-year-old continued.

“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.”

Britney also took aim at the father-of-six for writing a memoir.

“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,” she added.
