Britney Spears has accused her ex-husband Kevin Federline of “constant gaslighting” when it comes to her relationship with their children.
The pop icon and the former backup dancer were married between 2004 and 2007 and share two sons, Sean Preston, 20, and Jayden James, 19.
Ahead of the release of his upcoming memoir You Thought You Knew, Kevin has made several claims about Britney, including alleging that he once saw her holding a knife while sitting near their sons as they slept.
A spokesperson quickly dismissed those claims, but on Wednesday night, Britney posted a statement on social media expressing her frustration and pain.
“The constant gaslighting from (my) ex-husband is extremely hurtful and exhausting,” she wrote. “I have always pleaded and screamed to have a life with my boys. Relationships with teenage boys are complex. I have felt demoralized by this situation and have always asked and almost begged for them to be a part of my life.”
Britney continued by accusing Kevin of showing her a “lack of respect” over the years. She also shared that she’s only spent 45 minutes with one of her sons in the last five years and has had just four visits from the other.
“I have pride too. From now on I will let them know when I am available,” the 43-year-old said. “I will always love them, and if you really know me, you won’t pay attention to the tabloids about my mental health and drinking. I am actually a pretty intelligent woman who has been trying to live a sacred and private life for the past 5 years. I’m speaking up because I’ve had enough, and any real woman would do the same.”
She also criticized Kevin for releasing a memoir.
“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,” she added.
You Thought You Knew will be available on 21 October.
Kevin previously denied that money was his main motivation.
“I’d be lying if I said that I didn’t want this book to be successful. I wish I’ll sell a million books or more, or whatever,” he told Entertainment Tonight. “Money is not at the root of this story, and it never has been.”
