Britney Spears is letting the world know how she feels about her ex-husband Kevin Federline’s upcoming tell-all book release.
“To be loved unconditionally and with a naive heart like mine, always being threatened or made to believe I'm the bad one as they profit off my pain,” Spears, 43, wrote in a lengthy message posted via X on Thursday, October 16.
Federline, 47, announced his memoir in August, where he planned to speak publicly for the first time about how “he weathered the scrutiny of relentless media coverage, high-profile relationships and the painful reality of raising children under a microscope, all while trying to hold his family together,” according to the book’s description.

Spears criticized her ex-husband, whom she was married to from 2004 to 2007, claiming he “attacked her in his interviews” while promoting the project, which she labeled an attempt to make easy money.
“No money from Britney for 5 years you trying to get paid that's what general America is saying weird you both have moved on… your kids are adults it's a different world now ... why is HE SO ANGRY,” the “Toxic” singer wrote. “And what's scary is he’s convincing. It literally blows my mind the moments he stops before he cries are you f---king serious … I know his book will sell loads more than mine.”
Spears hinted the situation was “worse than anyone could imagine,” accusing her ex of influencing their two sons, Sean and Jayden, to make her feel “completely isolated.”

Kevin Federline Revealed What Led to Britney's 2007 Shaved Head

Kevin Federline dropped many bombshells about being married to the pop star.
"The only words that came through clearly were: LET. ME. IN. Over and over again," Federline wrote. "Then she started climbing the front gate … I stayed inside with the kids, trying to keep things calm. I couldn't stand to see her like this."
The father-of-two claimed that the “Lucky” songstress was "in no condition to be around [their] kids," and security turned her away.
"It was the right thing to do," he continued. "I couldn't let her see them. They wouldn't have understood why their mom was looking and acting so bizarrely, and I didn't want to scare them."
Britney Spears Claimed Kevin Federline Was 'Gaslighting' Her

Britney Spears complained about the 'constant gaslighting' from her ex-husband.
Spears then went to a hair salon, where the stylist allegedly refused to chop her long locks off.
"Britney took matters into her own hands, grabbing an electric clipper and shaving her own head. Eventually, she drove down the street to a gas station,” he wrote. "That's where things escalated, the infamous 'umbrella incident'—when she grabbed an umbrella and started swinging it at the paparazzi. They were having a field day. The photos from that moment wound up everywhere—her shaved head, the wild look in her eyes."
At the time, Spears responded to her ex, explaining the “constant gaslighting” from Federline was “extremely hurtful and exhausting.”
"I had enough. 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,” she wrote via X. "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."
