Britney Spears Slams Ex-Husband Kevin Federline’s Memoir in Second Lengthy Post: ‘The Boy Hates Me and It Is Deep Anger to Say the Things He Is Saying’

Britney Spears launched a forceful online counterattack this Thursday, directly challenging the claims made by her former husband, Kevin Federline, in his forthcoming autobiography and its associated press tour. The global superstar accused Federline of launching a direct assault on her character by publicizing accusations about her parenting and personal conduct. His memoir, titled "You Thought You Knew," is scheduled for an October 21st release, but leaked details have already surfaced, alleging that Spears smoked during pregnancy and drank alcohol while nursing their two sons, who are now 20 and 19 years old.

Penned in her distinctive, free-flowing style, this emotional statement arrived shortly after another post where she charged Federline with "gaslighting" her to sell books. She expressed deep distress, questioning the origins of his intense anger and noting how convincing his narrative seemed. Spears also drew a painful parallel to the commercial performance of her own 2023 memoir, "The Woman in Me," which detailed her rise to fame and the 13-year conservatorship that controlled her life. She somberly predicted his book would outsell hers, highlighting the cruel irony of her personal trauma being packaged for public sale.

The public nature of this dispute illuminates the lasting acrimony from their union, which ended in divorce in 2007 and was followed by a fiercely contested custody battle that played out in the media. Dr. Anya Sharma, a family law specialist, observed, "High-conflict separations involving children often see grievances resurface decades later, with memoirs becoming a modern battleground. The long-term psychological impact on the now-adult children can be significant." Spears articulated her profound hurt, stating that genuine love does not involve public shaming and characterizing Federline's rage as exceeding all imagination.

Her grievances were not limited to her ex-husband. Spears also targeted her family, particularly her mother, Lynne Spears, author of the 2008 book "Through the Storm," which chronicled her daughter's early career. She claimed her mother has only reached out once in six years and purposely excluded her from a family birthday event in Louisiana. Her criticism extended to her father, Jamie Spears, whose role as her conservator was terminated by a court in 2021 after evidence surfaced of financial mismanagement, including alleged misuse of her estate funds. She wrote that her relatives now "get entitled with special secrets as they treat me exactly the way my father used to," reinforcing her enduring sense of isolation.

Despite the emotional weight of her message, Spears concluded with a note of resilience and hope. She shared her focus on personal healing and a desire to connect with positive influences, name-checking actress Michelle Pfeiffer and model Paris Jackson. This public declaration to seek out role models and "still believe in humanity" signals a deliberate pivot toward recovery and constructing a supportive community, marking a new chapter after years of draining public and legal conflicts.
