At this point, Britney deserves an award just for surviving public opinion. Everyone’s had their say about her life — maybe now we should let her have the final word

Britney Spears' complete official statement regarding Kevin Federline's claims:

"The constant gaslighting from ex-husband is extremely hurtful and exhausting. I have always pleaded and screamed to have a life with my boys. Relationships with teenage boys is complex. I have felt demoralized by this situation and have always asked and almost begged for them to be a part of my life. Sadly, they have always witnessed the lack of respect shown by own father for me. They need to take responsibility for themselves."

The post continued:

"With one son only seeing me for 45 min in the past 5 years and the other with only 4 visits in the past 5 years. I have pride too. From now on I will let them know when I am available. Trust me, those white lies in that book, they are going straight to the bank and I am the only one who genuinely gets hurt here. I will always love them and if you really know me, you won't pay attention to the tabloids of my mental health and drinking."

Britney Spears concluded her response, stating:

"I am actually a pretty intelligent woman who has been trying to live a sacred and private life the past 5 years. I speak on this because I have had enough and any real woman would do the same."

Internet reactions to Britney Spears' response to Kevin Federline's comments

Pop Base took to its official X (formerly Twitter) page to post that,

"Britney Spears shares new statement following claims made by ex-husband Kevin Federline regarding her relationship with their children."

Netizens were notably quick to weigh in on the comment section of the X post as they penned their opinions on the matter. Below are some of their remarks:

"britney spears was paying kevin $40,000 a month until last year, when their kids turned 18. now he's writing a book about how he "fears" for her. the only thing he fears is an empty bank account", stated an X user.

"If he really cared about her and her kids, he would have stayed quiet and called her privately or spoken in an interview. But no, he wants money from the book. Dragging poor Justin’s name again… When will they let him live away from Britney’s shadow and respect his wife and kids? We all know she’s struggling and needs help, not more scandals!", commented another.

"I STAY WITH Britney Spears. Since 2021, after her guardianship ended, Britney has struggled to reconnect with her teenage sons, meeting them rarely over five years, while Federline received $40,000 monthly in child support until they became adults.", stated a third.

Others also chimed in:

"Britney is a complex and brilliant woman. She deserves privacy. The people who judge her are projecting their own issues on to her. As always, leave Britney alone. May God bless her. She’s given the world so much light - she deserves peace.", commented a netizen.

"Such private matters shouldn't come out in public, especially when children are involved. May Britney find strength during this difficult time.💯", penned another.

"This poor woman has been through and experienced WAYYYY too much, by her own family, friends, former lovers and sometimes even her own children, which I know they’re still young but hasn’t this woman been through enough and they still decide to treat her this way, I pray for her", added a third.

Kevin Federline's memoir, You Thought You Knew, releases on October 21, 2025.
