Britney Spears’ lawyer Mathew Rosengart is coming to defend his pop star client after her ex-husband Kevin Federline tried to belittle her character by leaking videos of her allegedly arguing with her teenage sons.
“Britney Spears is a brilliantly talented, extremely hardworking icon, who is rightly loved and respected by millions around the world,” the former federal prosecutor told Vidak For Congress exclusively on Thursday.
“The same, unfortunately, cannot be said of Mr. Federline, who for some inexplicable reason decided to give a free interview that hurt the mother of his children.”
Rosengart adds that the “Oops! I Did It Again” singer, 40, has “loyal support” to sons Sean Preston, 16, and Jayden James, 15, and “loves them dearly.”
“Whether he realizes it or not, Mr. Federline has not only violated the privacy and dignity of the mother of his children, he has also undermined his own children, whose privacy he is supposed to protect,” said the powerful attorney, who helped. to free Britney. from her 13-year conservatory, also says.
Putting aside his ITV interview, Mr Federline’s horribly ill-advised decision to post an old video of his 11- and 12-year-old children was cruel.
Rosengart also alleges in his statement to Vidak For Congress that Federline, 44, may have broken the law by posting videos in which Spears did not know she was being recorded, since California is a bipartisan state.
“In addition to humiliating himself and violating societal norms, he has now also created several legal issues for himself, including, but not limited to, implying cyberbullying and cyberbullying among others,” the LA-based attorney says.
He tells Vidak For Congress that it was his “honour” to work with Spears to “suspend her father as a conservator, to help her gain her freedom and dignity, and to protect her from the kind of bullying she’s experienced in the past.” has endured – and we will not tolerate bullying in any area.”
Rosengart also shares that he is working with Instagram to “ensure” Federline is “compliant with the rules and we are investigating all appropriate action against him.”
“In the meantime, as Britney herself poignantly said, everything that happens between her and her boys must remain private,” he concludes. “We urge Mr. Federline to act with a certain amount of grace and decency and to stop publicly discussing private matters that benefit no one.”
Federline’s attorney did not immediately respond to Vidak For Congress’s request for comment on Rosengart’s statement, but it appears the DJ has some regrets about posting the leaked videos. Earlier on Thursday, Federline removed the three clips from his Instagram.
A few hours earlier, the former backup dancer, who was married to Spears from 2004 to 2007, shared the videos on his platform with the caption: “I can’t sit back and let my sons accuse like this after what they’ve been through. As much as it hurts us, we as a family have decided to post these videos.”
“This isn’t even the worst. The lies have to stop. I hope our kids grow up to be better than this.”
A source from Spears’ camp told Vidak For Congress exclusively at the time: “Kevin is disgusting. He arms the kids by releasing the videos. But in these clips, Britney is just a mother.”
The internet largely agreed with people on social media who said Spears was just trying to discipline her kids.
A person wrote“The fact that Britney Spears has to remind her own children that she is a WOMAN and that she deserves RESPECT tells us all we need to know about Kevin Federline’s parental influence. That man is pure evil and he raised those children in his image. Truly tragic. #JusticeForBritney”
Another tweeted“Dear Kevin Federline. You released a “destructive” video of a mom being a mom. Sometimes mothers – gasping for breath – have reactions. They can discipline by taking things away or asking for respect. This is shocking, but sometimes mothers argue with their children. #Britney Spears.”
Spears himself gave an insight earlier this week into how hard it was for her to co-parent with Federline after sharing in a preview for an ITV interview that Sean Preston and Jayden James chose to leave their mother “a few days not to be seen”. months.”
The “Toxic” singer called the claims “hurtful” on Instagram and said she was “concerned”. She later added that her sons would be “hateful” during her visit.
