Kevin Federline says he knew his marriage to Britney Spears was over when she called him, asking him to come to a party while their young children were crying in the background.
The pop superstar’s second husband remembers being in Miami for work and trying to concentrate when he received a phone call.
I got a call from Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan, both clearly very drunk, pleading with me to come to their place. I could hear their children, Preston and Jayden, upset in the background. It was sometime between three and four in the morning.
In a new memoir, Kevin Federline reveals that a phone call in November 2006 – shortly after Britney Spears filed for divorce – was the breaking point in their relationship.
He remembers seeing the tabloid photos – pictures of her spending the entire night partying with others at Paris’s Malibu home. This is according to his book, a harsh and critical look at his life with the troubled ‘Princess of Pop’ and her frightening, unpredictable behavior as a wife and mother.
When I heard my children crying while she was… I don’t even know what she was doing, that was the final straw. Any remaining hope I had that we could make things work for the kids just vanished in that moment.
He recounts that those children later shared how they’d sometimes wake up at night to find their mother standing in the doorway, silently watching them sleep—and holding a knife.
Federline claims that, according to what his children told him, Spears once hit one of them and also threatened someone with a knife.
He says she insisted on breastfeeding their babies even after using cocaine, both by drinking and snorting it.
Ugh, Kevin Federline. Honestly, he was just one of Britney’s backup dancers, and then married her in 2004! It was right after things had calmed down a bit from her initial explosion onto the scene, and it just felt…wrong. And then, the worst part? He ended up with sole custody of her kids. I still can’t believe it, it breaks my heart every time I think about it!
In a new and disturbing book, Federline, age 47, alleges that Spears, 43, frequently put their young sons at risk due to her struggles with mental health.
He strongly challenges the common belief, especially among those in the ‘Free Britney Movement,’ that Britney Spears was wrongly subjected to a 13-year court-ordered conservatorship due to concerns about her mental health.
Under the terms of the order, her father, Jamie, was given control of her person and her money.
While admitting the situation was challenging for everyone, Federline maintains the conservatorship – lasting from 2008 to 2021 and severely limiting Spears’ freedom, even requiring approval for simple things like kitchen renovations – ultimately provided much-needed stability.
But, he adds, Spears has never acknowledged having an issue, and as a result, her unpredictable behavior persists.
People at the Red-O restaurant in Thousand Oaks, California likely witnessed some unusual behavior on Wednesday night. Video obtained by the Daily Mail shows Britney Spears seemingly intoxicated, giving a strange toast to everyone in the restaurant. Afterwards, despite friends’ attempts to stop her, she drove her black BMW home in a way that was erratic and dangerous – including U-turns, sudden speeding, and even driving on the wrong side of the road.
According to Federline, the core of the problem is her unwillingness to take accountability. She consistently viewed her experiences as if she were the victim – feeling misunderstood and believing everyone else was in the wrong.
He thinks ending the conservatorship, after a judge decided it wasn’t needed anymore, has led to the same problems happening again.
Kevin Federline believes the movement to free Britney Spears misjudged the situation and unfairly attacked those around her, making it difficult for anyone to help now. He says it’s no longer possible to ignore her struggles since the conservatorship ended, and he fears things are quickly heading towards a crisis.
Federline warns that if things don’t improve, a negative outcome is likely, and he’s most worried about his sons being left to deal with the aftermath.
As someone who keeps a close eye on celebrity wellbeing, I was really worried to see some recent posts from Britney Spears. Friends have confided in me that they’re concerned about her mental health, and honestly, I share those concerns. Last month, a video surfaced of her dancing at home, and the environment looked… chaotic, to say the least. It’s not just this instance either; she’s previously shared videos and photos that felt quite vulnerable and even risky, like when she was completely nude or dancing with knives. It’s clear to me, and to many others, that she might be going through a difficult time.
Kevin Federline is now sharing his side of the story, after being legally prevented from doing so for a long time. His account differs from Britney Spears’s portrayal of events in her memoir, which she released two years ago, and challenges the way she presented things.
In her memoir, The Woman In Me – which is being adapted into a movie – Britney Spears states she never struggled with alcohol and only occasionally used Adderall, a stimulant often prescribed for ADHD.
She recalls a now-infamous night out with Lindsay Lohan and Paris Hilton, admitting she drank too much while her mother, Lynne, watched her young sons. Britney explained she’d asked her mother to babysit so she could go out and have fun without her children seeing her intoxicated.
Kevin Federline, who shares six children with three different partners, was granted full custody of his two sons with Britney Spears – now 20 and 19 years old – when they divorced in 2006. This sparked a long and difficult battle over their children. Now, Spears claims Federline has been consistently manipulative and suggests he’s trying to make money from their family connection by releasing a book shortly after she stopped providing financial support for their children.
Britney Spears says Kevin Federline’s recent memoir has made things even harder with their two children. She claims she’s only spent a total of 45 minutes with one of them over the last five years. While she insists she’s not an unstable mother, she hasn’t directly responded to the specific accusations Federline made in the book.
She tweeted last week, before her book came out, about wanting to be loved without conditions, but feeling constantly blamed and exploited for personal gain.
True love doesn’t involve putting someone down. I was really shocked by how intensely he reacted – it was far more upsetting than anyone realizes.
What Federline revealed about life with Spears suggests things were far more difficult than people realized.
He recalls the beginning of their relationship, explaining that Britney Spears – then a rising star with her hit song “…Baby One More Time” at just 16 years old – invited him back to her bungalow at the Beverly Hills Hotel. There, she led him to her bedroom and initiated a passionate encounter, aggressively removing his clothes.
After suddenly breaking up with his pregnant fiancée, actress Sharisse Jackson, to tour Europe with Britney Spears, Kevin Federline was widely accused of being with Spears for her money.
Let me tell you, having worked with a lot of celebrities, you hear some things! I remember hearing from Kevin Federline about a time when he was staying with Britney in Amsterdam. Apparently, he walked into their hotel room and found Britney passionately kissing one of her backup dancers. It was a really shocking moment, and he shared it as part of explaining what was going on during that period of their relationship.
He was stunned and immediately began packing, but Britney Spears convinced him to remain with her. During their flight back to New York following the European concerts, she proposed marriage.
Three months after they’d first met, they got engaged. Five months later, they were married.
According to Federline, the night before their wedding in Los Angeles, he discovered Spears was on the phone with her former boyfriend, Justin Timberlake.
Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake first connected as kids while appearing on the TV show, The Mickey Mouse Club, and later began a very public relationship in 1999. They split up in 2002 following rumors that both had been unfaithful.
Britney told him she needed to make a phone call to close this part of her life before moving forward, according to Federline. He also said that even after they got married, he could tell she still had feelings for her ex.
Kevin Federline says he first became worried when his wife started drinking alcohol while pregnant and taking medication. He initially excused her behavior, blaming the stress of being famous. Federline claims her moods were very unpredictable, and he alleges she once slapped him while holding their son, Preston.
In October 2006, Britney Spears and another actress surprisingly showed up at the party celebrating the release of Kevin Federline’s debut rap album. This happened just over a month after their son, Jayden, was born.
According to Federline, he walked into his dressing room and found Britney Spears and a younger acquaintance openly using cocaine at the coffee table. He described the scene as bizarre, saying they didn’t make any attempt to conceal what they were doing.
Federline attempted to talk to her when she announced she was going home to breastfeed their babies – both of whom were still nursing, having been born just a year apart. She responded by throwing her drink at him and then leaving in anger.
Despite his decision to end their marriage due to her increasingly erratic behavior, Britney Spears actually filed for divorce first, and it was finalized in 2007.
Even after that, he claims she would repeatedly call him late at night while intoxicated, often with the sound of their children crying in the background – including during the well-known incident involving Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan.
Honestly, things really started to fall apart for her during that time. I remember hearing about one particularly upsetting incident during the custody battle with Kevin Federline. His nanny went to pick up Jayden, who was just a little over a year old then, and found Britney had locked herself in the bathroom with him, refusing to let anyone take him. It was a really difficult and frightening situation for everyone involved.
After a three-hour confrontation with police, the singer was finally restrained with a straitjacket and carried away on a stretcher. Officers had to forcibly separate her from someone she was holding onto.
Spears was committed, against her will, to a psychiatric hospital.
She made a dramatic appearance at one custody hearing in her wedding dress, and on another occasion, held up the proceedings for an hour by repeatedly driving around the courthouse.
It was really hard for me to watch what was happening,” Federline explained. “She wasn’t the woman I loved, or the one I had a family with anymore.
At first, Spears still had her sons stay with her a couple of times a week. According to Federline, the boys would later share disturbing stories that deeply upset them.
I was really shocked when I first heard about the lawsuit filed against Britney in 2010 by Fernando Flores, a former security guard. He claimed that while her sons were little, she allegedly engaged in inappropriate behavior in front of him and repeatedly exposed herself. It was a disturbing claim, and honestly, it added to a really difficult time for her and her family.
He reported that the children had been physically disciplined with a belt and then left without adult supervision. Initially, Federline denied these accusations, and the matter was eventually settled privately. However, he now admits he’s reconsidering what happened.
In addition to giving Jayden shellfish even though he was allergic, Spears would dismiss concerns as unimportant. Federline claims she also frequently took him horseback riding despite his severe horse allergies. He says this pattern of concerning and harmful behavior towards their children went on for years.
Jayden, who was younger and his father’s favorite, said that Britney would often wake him up at night just to have someone to talk to.
Once, after visiting their mother, both boys returned home with severely bleached and damaged hair, and their skin was burned from the chemicals used.
Preston came to me when he was around ten or eleven years old, upset because his mother was making him bathe with her. He was very uncomfortable with it, and I had to intervene and put a stop to it, according to Federline.
He says that by the time his children were teenagers, they no longer wanted to visit their grandmother’s house. It wasn’t until after they’d stopped seeing her that they finally shared the most disturbing things that had happened.
They often woke up to find her standing in the doorway, silently watching them while they slept. She’d ask, seemingly surprised, ‘Oh, you’re awake?’ while holding a knife. Then, without saying anything, she’d quietly walk away. It was incredibly frightening. On other nights, they were jolted awake by her terrifying screams or the sound of her breaking things around the house. All of this left them completely terrified.
Federline moved to Hawaii in 2023 with the boys and his new wife, Victoria Prince.
He claims he hasn’t talked to Spears for years, but that hasn’t prevented him from being aware that he needs to warn people about her situation – though he worries it might already be too late to help.
