Britney Spears has expressed her fury over Kevin Federline’s accusations about her. The mum-of-two has hit back via a statement on her Instagram page amid further fall out between the pair.
This comes after the father of her children has told how he was scared that Britney would die without receiving help. Kevin is set to release his own book, You Thought You Knew, on October 21 where he discusses his marriage to the superstar and raising their sons.
It seems that Britney has finally enough as she has expressed that some of what Kevin has said is untrue and is determined to set the record straight. They are parents to Sean Preston, now 20, and Jayden James, 19. The dancer has detailed the struggle he went through co-parenting with Britney during and after her pop career.

Bedroom knife claims
Kevin has claimed that Britney watched her sons sleep with knives in her hands . He claimed on multiple occasions their sons Sean and Jayden would wake up to discover their mum watching them.
He said she would then leave the room without any explanation of what she was doing. In an extract from his memoir You Thought You Knew, Kevin wrote: “They would awaken sometimes at night to find her standing silently in the doorway, watching them sleep – ‘Oh, you’re awake?’ – with a knife in her hand.
“Then she’d turn around and pad off without explanation.” Britney’s son’s have not individually confirmed whether this is true or not.
Kevin worries about Britney’s safety
In another section of the book shared Kevin discussed his worry that “something bad” could happen to his ex-wife. He said: “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.”
Kevin has said he is worried about Britney’s future and hopes that she is surrounded by support as well as their sons. He penned: “Now, more than ever, they need your support. I’ve been their buffer for years, but now it’s bigger than me. It’s time to sound the alarm.”
Potential mother-son relationship
Kevin claimed that all he wants is for his sons to have an “incredible relationship” with their mother. He denied claims that he has ever been against Britney.
He explained that he thinks he has only ever encouraged his sons to have a relationship with Britney but said it is “hard” because of everything that’s happened.
“I’ve only tried to help my sons have an incredible relationship with their mother. And it’s hard because when I really reflect on everything that’s happened – my kids do not know the woman that I married. And I’ve spent two decades trying to bridge that gap,” Kevin wrote.
Britney defends herself
However, Britney has now clapped back and said she has “had enough” of the stories. She has since shared a statement defending herself saying: “The constant gaslighting from my ex husband is extremely hurtful and exhausting. 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. 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.”
Britney reunited with her son Jayden back in June of this year as she also revealed she had bought Jayden a brand new Mercedes AMG SL 63 roadster valued at $187K (£139K). At the time she said: “I will always love them [her boys] and if you really know me, you won’t pay attention to the tabloids of my mental health and drinking.
“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.”
Britney lost full-time custody of her sons back in 2007 after an infamous breakdown during which she shaved her head. She was then only allowed only supervised visits to see her boys, then aged two and one, who went to live with her former husband Kevin.

She currently has 30 per cent custody but her relationship with her sons became strained after they chose not to attend their mum’s 2022 wedding to US model Sam Asghari. She is now divorced from Sam.

Tess had to apologise for a star swearing(Image: CREDIT LINE:BBC/Ray Burmiston)
Tess Daly was forced to apologise for a Strictly Come Dancing celebrity swearing on the dance floor – in scenes not aired on the BBC show. Vicky Pattison has revealed how her weekend was a “disaster” doing the Charleston last week.
She and pro partner Kai Widdrington got 25 out of 40 from judges who said the performance lacked any “swivels”. But the pair were in some ways relieved just to get through as their final dress rehearsal performance had been much much worse.
Appearing on her own Get A Grip podcast which she records with Angela Scanlon, Vicky had invited her pro partner Kai Widdrington onto the show. He said “you should tell her about the rehearsal” and Vicky then explained her disaster last weekend.

Vicky said: “Saturday was just like a disaster from start to finish. You know me little headdress thing, obviously I had a wig as well. Yeah. So they put that on. We were dancing the dress rehearsal. And obviously there’s a move where me head goes down and comes up, and the head piece just totally like detached from the wig and fell over me face.
“And I kept trying to shove it up, and it just kept falling back over my eyes. Kai’s going ‘continue carry on’. And, honestly, I was so stressed out and angry, I tried to stop.
“And then when I was finished, that is in the official dress rehearsal, Tess goes goes ‘Oh, you had a bit of stress there with your head piece there’. I says, me f**king wig fell off.”
Thankfully Vicky explained for her actual performance the dressmakers behind the scenes sewed the headpiece onto the wig to avoid it happening again.
This week she and Kai are dancing the Samba. Kai told the podcast: “She’s actually good. Yeah, I’m not duping her this week.
“She said to me today, after we did the routine, she was like, I actually like this one, which I never thought I’d hear. She seems to be, like, growing in confidence.”

Former Made In Chelsea star Millie Mackintosh has shared a message on social media regarding the people she spends time with, following her ex-husband Professor Green’s revelation that they’re back in touch, a decade after their divorce.
The ex-couple officially tied the knot in 2013 but called it quits on their marriage just three years later. Professor Green has now opened up on his marriage to Millie and revealed on a podcast that they are now back in touch and that he doesn’t hold any ‘resentment’ towards her.
Following the podcast release, Millie shared a quote on her Instagram stories, which read: “There’s only one thing more precious than our time… And it’s who we spend it on.”

Millie’s cryptic post comes after her ex-husband Professor Green discussed their split and revealed they are now on good terms.
Speaking on Jamie Laing’s Great Company podcast, Professor Green revealed: “There was undiagnosed neurodivergence between both of us. We had a conversation about this recently, and it makes sense.'”
The musician also opened up on his marriage to Millie and said: “There’s so no resentment. She is gorgeous, but we were not good for each other at that time. We were at a point. Things we didn’t understand were happening, and it was way more than we could have ever dealt with.”
When asked about his divorce, he explained: “It was really tough. If there had never that pressure, we would have never got married, that’s the truth. It very nearly didn’t happen.”
He continued: “I made my own decision. We made our decision, and we didn’t get married for the wrong reasons. We loved each other. It was probably an element of trauma bonding.”
Millie and Professor Green, whose real name is Stephen Manderson, finalised their divorce in May 2016. Later that same week, Millie chose to go public with her now husband, Hugo Taylor, who was also a Made In Chelsea star at that time. Millie and husband Hugo share two daughters, Sienna and Aurelia, together.
Earlier this year, Millie opened up about their marriage on the Getting There podcast. She told host Brogan Garrit-Smith that she had been “super young” when she married Professor Green in her early twenties and suggested that she had been “a mess” around that time.
She added: “I think we both were in our own struggles and I think we maybe both thought we could like fix each other. But we couldn’t. And ultimately, we both had our own struggles, and it just magnified it. And it was actually quite toxic.”
The quote Millie shared comes after she gave fans a glimpse into her life, including her work and mental health struggles.
She penned: “A little reintroduction to some new faces and a thank you to those who have been on this journey with me from the start.” The post included a carousel of images with a small caption on each image. Millie gave an insight into her life, including her husband, Hugo Taylor and their two daughters.

She included some snaps where she reflected on her days on reality TV, as well as her journey into sobriety. She also shared a tearful selfie where she penned: “I speak openly about my experiences with anxiety, ADHD and depression, because I know how much it helps to hear you’re not alone”
The Love Island runners up broke off their engagement in 2024 amid cheating rumours and though they are back together, Molly-Mae has said they are ‘living separate lives’

Did Tommy Fury cheat on Molly-Mae?
Molly-Mae Hague and Tommy Fury used to be one of Love Island’s biggest success stories. Having met on the show, they fell in love, had a daughter and got engaged. So when they split in 2024, their fans were shocked and wanted to know why. One question on everyone’s mind was: Did Tommy cheat?
Though rumours died down when the pair got back together earlier this year, they have sparked back up following a sad admission from Molly-Mae ahead of the release of the second series of her documentary, Molly-Mae: Behind It All. In an interview to promote the show, which airs this Saturday (18 October), Molly said that though she and Tommy are together, “we’re also living quite separate lives” and are “definitely not a perfect couple”.

In August 2024, Molly-Mae dropped their break-up bombshell on Instagram. She wrote: “Never in a million years did I think I’d ever have to write this. After five years of being together I never imagined our story would end, especially not this way. I am extremely upset to announce that mine and Tommy’s relationship has come to an end.”
Fans wondered what “especially this way” meant, and some started to suggest Molly-Mae called off the engagement because Tommy cheated. Speaking with the Mirror at the time, communication expert Judi James said the wording made the Love Island star “sound shocked and angry” suggesting “something truly hard and definitive has occurred”.
Shortly after their split was announced, a source told The Sun that “Molly-Mae is now aware Tommy was unfaithful to her. She believes it has happened a number of times. It seems he would play away when he knew people wouldn’t recognise him.” In particular, there was a rumour that he cheated on his fiancee with a Danish woman at a club in North Macedonia.
However, both the woman, Milla Corfixen, and Tommy have strongly denied this. Tommy has denied any infidelity, and a spokesperson for the boxer told Mirror at the time: “Tommy is horrified by the false allegations of cheating being circulated by the media and he’s consulting his lawyers.”
But, that same month, a TikToker called Kay Keogh claimed she received flirty messages from Tommy after meeting him in Manchester. She shared a screenshot of a message allegedly from Tommy’s account and told her followers that she gave him her Instagram after meeting him on a night out, and he then sent her flirty DMs. However, Kay later revealed she had been catfished and the person was not Tommy.
Since then, Tommy has addressed the cheating allegations himself. He told the Mail online that he has never cheated and would break up with his partner before every reaching that point.
“I think if you were going to cheat on someone you should just sit down and say, ‘I don’t love you any more,’ clearly because you want to go and pursue other people.
“When you get to that stage, you should just call it a day. If you want to go out there and have affairs with women then you definitely shouldn’t be with your partner. Definitely not. And have I ever reached that point? No.”
Molly-Mae addressed the rumours too and seemed to suggest these were not the reason for their break-up. In a conversation on her documentary, she said: “The rumours that were coming out at the time. I mean, it was just a lot.
“People genuinely believe everything they read, because I was getting messages from people quite close to me saying, ‘I’m really sorry to hear that he’s gotten somebody pregnant.’ ‘I’m really sorry to hear that he’s been with this person.’ And I was just like, ‘Where is this coming from?’ It was a build up.”

She also said that since they reconciled, she has “become more aware of a lot of things that have been going on that I was so naïve to for so long, and I still don’t think I know the full picture.” But this was about her partner’s mental health, rather than infidelity. She explained: “Obviously, he knows it’s the drink. He’s not drank now for what, four months?
“I don’t think the drink’s gone away forever. Do I think that drink could still be a problem for us, potentially? Yeah, but I think the break-up showed Tommy that I’m serious.”
