Britney Spears Slams Kevin Federline's Claims As An Attempt To 'Profit Off Her' After Child Support Ended

Britney Spears has found herself in the spotlight again over her ex-husband Kevin Federline's bombshell remarks i in his upcoming memoir, "You Thought You Knew."

A rep for the "Toxic" singer has now responded to the dancer's claims, accusing him of "profiting off" her, several months after she stopped paying him child support.

Britney Spears has consistently stated that her top priority is her two children and has done everything in her power to maintain a strong relationship with them.

A rep for Spears responded to the disturbing claims her ex-husband Kevin Federline made in his new memoir, in which he expressed concerns for her and said he feared for their sons, Sean Preston and Jayden James.

However, Spears' camp found the remarks disingenuous, with the spokesperson blasting him for exploiting her name for financial gain.

"With news from Kevin's book breaking, once again he and others are profiting off her," the rep said in a statement to E! News, adding that the claims "come after child support has ended with Kevin."

The rep noted, "All she cares about are her kids, Sean Preston and Jayden James, and their well-being during this sensationalism. She detailed her journey in her memoir [The Woman in Me]."

Spears and Federline got married shortly after meeting in a club in 2004. However, two months after welcoming their second son in 2006, she filed for divorce, citing "irreconcilable differences."

At the time, he explained that they were "having complications" in their marriage but said he wasn't expecting the split and was totally blindsided by it.

"We were having complications ... but I was trying to work stuff out with her," he said, per PeopleMagazine. "I did everything that I could to cater around the whole situation: built a recording studio in the house, made sure I could always work at home, try to help out as much as I can..... I don't know, I guess it wasn't enough."

Spears and Federline's divorce was finalized in 2007, and they were given joint physical custody of their two sons.

However, they've had several different arrangements since then, including when she allowed the boys to move with him to Hawaii for work opportunities.

In an excerpt obtained by The New York Times from his upcoming memoir, the former backup dancer weighed in on Spears' mental health.

Federline wrote that "this situation with Britney feels like it's racing toward something irreversible."

"From where I sit, the clock is ticking, and we're getting close to the 11th hour," he continued, implying that the singer was running out of time to get help.

Federlined added, "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."

In his book, Federline claimed that their sons expressed fear over their mother's behavior at some point when they stayed with her, saying they told him they didn't want to go back there.

"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," he claimed. "Then she'd turn around and pad off without explanation."

Federline took things a step further by asking Spears' fans to support her and their sons, writing, "I've been their buffer for years, but now it's bigger than me. It's time to sound the alarm."

Spears has always had a complicated relationship with her sons. Following her mental health crisis in 2008, her father, Jamie, placed her under a 13-year conservatorship, which gave him, and later other conservators, legal control over the singer's personal and financial affairs.

In her 2023 memoir, Spears explained that she has done everything in her power to have a relationship with them, but didn't fight the conservatorship just to be reunited with them.

"My freedom in exchange for naps with my children—it was a trade I was willing to make," she wrote. "There is nothing I love more—nothing more important to me on this earth—than my children. I'd lay down my life for them."

Meanwhile, fans and friends have increasingly grown concerned about her mental health since the conservatorship ended in 2021.

Just last month, her loved ones became concerned after discovering she was living in a subpar standard, with her mansion covered in dog poop, according to Page Six. However, she took to Instagram to defend herself, writing, "Shame on those who judged my home in my pajamas !!"
