The contentious relationship between pop icon Britney Spears and her ex-husband, Kevin Federline, has once again been thrust into the spotlight with the upcoming release of his memoir, "You Thought You Knew".
Federline, who was married to Spears from 2004 to 2007, details his life and shared custody of their two sons, Sean Preston and Jayden James, expressing deep concern over his ex-wife's current state.
In excerpts from the book, set to be published on October 21, 2025, Federline writes that he worries Spears' "situation" is "racing toward something irreversible," believing "Something bad is going to happen if things don't change."
He emphasizes the gravity of the moment, writing, "From where I sit, the clock is ticking, and we're getting close to the 11th hour... it's time to sound the alarm."
Disturbing Claims About Their Sons
One of the most concerning claims in the memoir involves alleged encounters between Spears and their sons during their teenage years.
Federline reports that his sons were "fearful" of visiting their mother's home at times, relaying an unsettling account: "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 reportedly writes, claiming she would then "turn around and pad off without explanation."
The book reflects on the custody battle that followed their 2007 divorce and the lead-up to Spears' 2008 involuntary psychiatric hold.
Federline recalls the standoff as one of the hardest nights of his life, but his primary concern now, in the post-conservatorship era, is that the "Free Britney" movement may have inadvertently left her without the vital support she needs.
He suggests the energy should now be put into a "Save Britney" movement, as the situation is "no longer about freedom. It's about survival."
Spears' Reaction to the Memoir
Spears, through a representative, issued a swift response to the memoir's claims, saying, "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 statement stressed that Spears' focus is entirely on her children and their well-being, noting that she has already told her own story in her 2023 memoir, "The Woman in Me".
Federline maintains that he is publishing the memoir not for financial gain but for his children, explaining he waited until his sons were old enough to understand why he was doing it.
The memoir reignites the complex, long-running public narrative surrounding one of pop music's most scrutinized families.
