Kevin Federline agreed to give a great interview about ex-wife Britney Spears’ alleged estrangement from their sons because he and the boys fear the superstar’s mental health is out of control, sources told Page six.
“Kevin did the interview because he and the boys are upset. They worry that everyone is completely ignoring the fact that Britney is [battling mental issues]which is no secret,” said a source with knowledge of the Federline situation.
But a Spears source told Vidak For Congress that any claims that Federline is doing the interview out of fear of the singer are “pathetic and unforgivable.”
The saga continued quickly this week when Federline – Spears’ second husband and father to her sons, Preston, 16, and Jayden, 15 – spoke out, claiming that their boys didn’t want to see the singer, despite loving their mother. .
He gave an interview to the Daily Mail, with clips also shown on ITV News, then posted to Instagram two video clips from four years ago of Spears, 40, arguing with her children, prompting the singer’s lawyer. Berating Federline for “violating” the star’s privacy.
Federline, a former backup dancer who was married to Spears from 2004 to 2007, shared the videos 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 got to stop. I hope our kids grow up to be better than this.” Hours later, he removed the videos from online.
A Federline source told Vidak For Congress that “posting the videos wasn’t about making her look bad or mean, but more about reminding people that she legitimately has a mental illness and [Federline and the sons] worry it won’t be checked.”
Meanwhile, an ex-boyfriend of Spears’s is furious at Federline’s behavior and told Vidak For Congress that the ex-husband has nowhere to talk.
“Kevin’s a nice guy, but he’s a loser,” the ex-boyfriend said. “It was really hard for Britney and I to be out with them and Britney knew she was paying them all this money and they were free to live their lives and spend her money as they wanted while she was in receivership and received a small fee. .
“When the kids turn 18, the money is gone and Kevin is in the creek.”
The ex-boyfriend, who declined to be named, even speculates that Federline could be taking money from Spears’ father, Jamie Spears, who was partly responsible for running the hard-core conservatory that Spears lived under for 13 years.
However, Jamie’s attorney Alex Weingarten told Vidak For Congress this week: “Jamie hasn’t spoken to Kevin or his grandsons in almost 3 years. There is zero truth in this.”
Federline insisted that the boys love their mother, telling the Daily Mail this week: “The boys have decided they are not seeing her now. It’s been a few months since they’ve seen her. They have made the decision not to attend her wedding.”
Federline added that he has had a hard time explaining Spears’ decision to post nude and near-nude photos on Instagram to his two sons. “Look, maybe that’s just another way she’s trying to express herself.” But that doesn’t take away from what it does to them. It is heavy. I can’t imagine what it feels like to be a teenager going to high school.”
Federline’s attorney declined to comment.
Spears’ attorney, Mathew Rosengart, told Vidak For Congress: “Britney Spears is a brilliantly talented, extremely hardworking icon, rightly loved and respected by millions around the world. The same, sadly, cannot be said of Mr. Federline, who inexplicably decided to give a free interview that hurt the mother of his children.”
Rosengart added that the “Oops! I Did It Again” singer has “faithfully supported” her sons 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 should be protecting,” said the attorney, who helped protect Spears. to free her. – year conservatory, added.
Rosengart also questioned whether Federline, 44, may have broken the law by posting videos in which Spears didn’t know she was being shot, given that California is a bipartisan state.
Spears himself gave an insight into how hard it was for her to co-parent with Federline earlier this week, after sharing in a preview for an ITV interview that Sean Preston and Jayden James have chosen not to see their mother ” ” for a few months.”
The ‘Toxic’ singer called the claims “hurtful” on Instagram and said she was “concerned”. She later added that her sons would be “hateful” to her if they visited her home.
