In his new memoir You Thought You Knew, Kevin Federline made bombshell claims about the singer, whom he was married to from 2004 to 2007.
He claimed it’s “impossible to pretend everything’s OK” since her conservatorship came to an end.
Even though they haven’t “spoken in years,” he has been watching from afar and expressed concern about her current “situation.”

One of the chapters in his book includes claims about Britney being so erratic that their sons would be afraid to go back to her house.
The boys would talk about waking up and finding their mother watching them sleep with a knife in her hand, Kevin claimed.

“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 wrote in the memoir, slated to release on October 21.
“Then she’d turn around and pad off without explanation,” he added.

Kevin accused the Oops!... I Did It Again singer of misusing illicit substances and having angry outbursts as their marriage came to an end.
They had a long, messy custody battle over their kids, who largely grew up in their father’s care and moved to Hawaii with him in 2023.
“I’ve never, ever, once, been against Britney,” he told the New York Times in an interview.
He said he has only tried to help his sons have “an incredible relationship” with their mom, but it’s been “hard.”
“My kids do not know the woman that I married. And I’ve spent two decades trying to bridge that gap,” he added.

After an excerpt from Kevin's book was released, Britney’s team accused him of trying to profit off her since her child support came to an end, as both Sean and Jayden are adults.
“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,” the representative said.
The rep said the Grammy winner only cares about her children and their well-being during this “sensationalism.”

Britney shared her own Instagram post about “family” amid the latest claims made by the DJ and professional dancer in his memoir.
“Honor thy mother and father, but always protect your heart. Only honor them if they have sacredly honored you !!! If not, you find a new family,” she wrote.

In light of widespread speculation, Kevin addressed claims that accused him of releasing his memoir because the child support came to an end.
He initially smiled when asked about his intentions behind the book during an interview with Entertainment Tonight.
“You want to go there right away? Alright. I’d be lying if I said that I didn’t want this book to be successful. I wish I’ll sell a million books or more, or whatever,” he said.
The father then claimed money wasn’t the “root of this story” and “never has been.”

Towards the end of his 228-page book, Kevin claimed the current “situation with Britney feels like it’s racing toward something irreversible.”
“It’s become impossible to pretend everything’s OK,” he added. “From where I sit, the clock is ticking, and we’re getting close to the 11th hour. Something bad is going to happen if things don’t change, and my biggest fear is that our sons will be left holding the pieces.”

A source said Britney is “not scared one bit” about Kevin’s book because she has already detailed her side of the story in her own 2023 memoir The Woman In Me.
“Absolutely nothing is going to surprise her,” the source told the Daily Mail.
The insider claimed the Gimme More singer would let things play out “naturally” with Kevin’s memoir.

“Now granted, Britney does her own thing and anything can happen with her at the fall of a hat and one late night she could tweet something out there,” they told the outlet.
“But this is different because she doesn't want to get into it because of her kids and still wants some semblance of a relationship with them and she feels if she talks back on anything Kevin says in the book, it could provide a fallout, and she doesn't want that to happen,” they continued.
