Britney Spears unleashes on ex Kevin Federline AND her SONS – accusing him of ‘gaslighting’ and claiming she’s seen one boy for just 45 minutes in five years

Britney Spears is criticizing her former husband, Kevin Federline, because of his new book, claiming he’s manipulating the truth to make her seem unstable.

The celebrity publicly criticized Federline and their two sons on Wednesday, after his recent interview where he made the startling accusation that the boys had once woken up to find her with a knife.

The singer, known for her song ‘Toxic’, shared a heartfelt message on Instagram Wednesday, stating she’s been deeply hurt and worn down by her ex-husband’s manipulative behavior.

Britney Spears shared that she’s been feeling down about her difficult relationship with her sons, Sean Preston, 19, and Jayden, 18.

Britney Spears has consistently expressed her desire to have a close relationship with her sons. She acknowledged that connecting with teenage children can be challenging, and she’s felt hurt and discouraged by the difficulties she’s faced in trying to be a part of their lives, repeatedly asking to spend time with them.

The singer, clearly heartbroken, revealed she’s only spent 45 minutes with one of her sons in the last five years.

DailyMail.com has reached out to Federline’s representatives for comment. 

She continued, sadly explaining that she and her siblings had always seen their father disrespect me.

‘They need to take responsibility for themselves,’ Spears added.

The musician explained that one son has only seen him for 45 minutes in the last five years, and the other just four times. He feels he deserves some respect too, and from now on, he’ll let his sons know when he’s free to see them.

Honestly, the little fibs in that book are really paying off for someone, and it seems like I’m the only one suffering because of them.

The singer concluded her statement with love for her two boys.

I’ll always care for them, and if you truly know me, you won’t be swayed by untrue stories about my well-being or struggles with alcohol.

For the past five years, I’ve been focused on living a quiet, meaningful life. But I’m speaking out now because I’ve reached my limit, and I believe any woman in my situation would feel the same.

This follows a surprising accusation from Federline that Spears would sometimes hold a knife while their children were waking up.

Kevin Federline revealed a surprising claim in his upcoming book, ‘You Thought You Knew,’ as shared in a preview by The New York Times.

As a longtime supporter of Britney, it’s been heartbreaking to hear about the difficulties she’s been having with her sons lately. Apparently, things have been really tough for a few years now, and her ex, Kevin Federline, has said that the boys stopped wanting to visit her when they became teenagers. He’s even mentioned they were afraid to be around her, which is just devastating to hear. I really hope they can find a way to reconnect and heal their relationship.

According to an excerpt from his writing, Federline described how they would sometimes wake up in the middle of the night to find her standing in the doorway, silently watching them. She’d ask, “Oh, you’re awake?” while holding a knife, then simply turn and walk away without saying anything.

Federline also wrote about his growing concerns about his ex after she began behaving erratically.

Federline expressed his worry that Britney Spears was heading down a path that couldn’t be changed. He said, ‘Honestly, things with Britney feel like they’re moving quickly towards a point of no return.’

Federline admits things are clearly not alright. He feels time is running out, and a crisis is likely if the current situation doesn’t improve. His main worry is that their sons will be the ones left to deal with the fallout.

As a lifestyle expert, I’ve followed Britney Spears’ story for years, and her ex-husband Kevin Federline’s memoir sheds light on a really difficult time. He details the heartbreaking night in 2008 when Britney was taken to UCLA Medical Center’s psychiatric ward. It happened after a tense standoff where she wouldn’t let go of their sons, and ultimately led to her being placed on a 5150 hold – a temporary psychiatric evaluation. It was a truly distressing situation for everyone involved.

Federline described it as an incredibly difficult night, watching his partner go through such a tough time.

He wrote that he was deeply upset by what she was experiencing. She wasn’t just someone he’d known—they had shared a life together and had children together.

This event happened right before Britney Spears was put under a legal conservatorship. That conservatorship lasted for 13 years but finally ended thanks to support from the #FreeBritney movement.

But Federline feels the movement had unintended consequences on the pop star’s current wellbeing.

He believes the initial desire to end the conservatorship likely came from a well-intentioned place, but worries the strong reaction from the #FreeBritney movement may have discouraged professionals from offering help to his ex-partner, fearing similar backlash.

He argued that the same dedication people showed to the initial efforts should now be focused on supporting Britney Spears, emphasizing that the situation has moved beyond simply seeking her freedom and is now a matter of her well-being and survival.
