Britney Spears' representatives recently responded to the allegations made by her ex-husband, Kevin Federline, in his upcoming memoir, You Thought You Knew. It appears Spears wants to stay out of her ex's drama, and her team made this clear in a statement shared exclusively with People magazine on Tuesday, October 14.

In an excerpt from the memoir released in The New York Times on October 14, Federline shared about the "situation with Britney" and how he thinks "it's racing toward something irreversible." He also wrote about the time their sons lived with her and how they allegedly said they didn't want to return to her house, partly out of fear.

However, Britney Spears' spokesperson has accused Federline of trying to profit by dragging the pop star's name.

"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. All she cares about are her kids, Sean Preston and Jayden James, and their well-being during this sensationalism. She detailed her journey in her memoir [The Woman in Me]," the statement reads.

Speaking of child support, Spears initially paid Federline $20,000 a month following their split. It later increased to $40,000 in 2018 because their two sons were with their father in Hawaii most of the time. However, after Jayden turned 18 and graduated from high school in November 2024, the pop star's child support also ended.

More about Britney Spears, as shared in Kevin Federline's upcoming memoir

In an excerpt from Kevin Federline's memoir You Thought You Knew, published by The New York Times, he made several claims about Britney Spears, specifically about times when their two sons stayed with her at her house. One of these claims involves an alleged concerning behavior their sons told him about, such as waking up in the night to find her "standing silently in the doorway" and watching them sleep.

Britney Spears' ex-husband also described an incident where Spears allegedly watched her kids sleep with a knife in her hand. Discussing this behavior, he further wrote:

"Then she'd [Britney Spears] turn around and pad off without explanation."

It's reportedly one of the reasons why their kids didn't want to go back to her house; they were scared. He also talked about helping "bridge the gap" between Spears and their kids, saying:

"It's hard because when I really reflect on everything that's happened—my kids do not know the woman that I married. And I've spent two decades trying to bridge that gap."

The former couple married in 2004 and welcomed their two sons before finalizing their divorce in 2007. They had a custody battle over their children, which concluded a year later with Federline gaining full custody of both kids.

In his memoir, Kevin Federline also sounded the alarm about Britney Spears' current "situation." He claims that "the clock is ticking" in regards to the pop star, adding that he thinks "something bad is going to happen if things don't change."
