Kevin Federline Says Britney Spears’ Conservatorship Shouldn’t Have Ended

Kevin Federline is stepping back into the spotlight, and he’s bringing some serious claims with him.

In his upcoming memoir, You Thought You Knew, Federline reportedly says he doesn’t believe Britney Spears should have ever been released from her conservatorship.

In an excerpt that’s already making waves, Kevin writes, “The truth is, this situation with Britney feels like it’s racing toward something irreversible. It’s become impossible to pretend everything’s OK. From where I sit, the clock is ticking, and we’re getting close to the 11th hour. Something bad is going to happen if things don’t change, and my biggest fear is that our sons will be left holding the pieces.”

That “11th hour” line alone is giving tabloids plenty to work with. But it’s his claims about their sons, Sean Preston and Jayden James (now 20 and 19), that are drawing the most attention.

Federline says the boys were afraid to be around their mother at times because of her erratic behavior. He even alleges that more than once, they woke up in the middle of the night to find Britney standing silently in their doorway, holding a knife.

Britney’s camp, unsurprisingly, is not having it. A rep for the singer responded, “With news from Kevin’s book breaking, once again he and others are profiting off her, and sadly it comes after child support has ended with Kevin. All she cares about are her kids, Sean Preston and Jayden James, and their well-being during this sensationalism.”

It’s the latest turn in what’s been nearly two decades of public ups and downs for the former couple, who divorced in 2007.

Britney’s conservatorship—once the focus of the #FreeBritney movement—was terminated in 2021 after 13 years.

Federline’s book is set to hit shelves on Tuesday, October 21st, and if this early drama is any indication, it won’t just be fans who are reading. The whole world will be watching how Britney responds next.
