Speaker 2 (00:03):
Emma Gillespie is the editor of The Daily OS and
she joins us now.
Speaker 3 (00:07):
Well, Hello, Britney Spears back in the news because her
ex Kevin Federline remember him.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
He has released a new memoir.
Speaker 3 (00:16):
It's titled You Thought You Knew, and it basically goes
into great detail about his short lived marriage to Britney Spears.
Speaker 1 (00:24):
They were only married for about two and a bit years.
Speaker 4 (00:27):
But obviously they had two kids together.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
They had two kids together, and obviously that relationship has
left its mark on his entire life. And he has
dropped some very big claims about Brittany and her behavior
as a mother. I guess it's kind of in response
to Britney's book, which came out two years ago, almost
to the day. He claims that she used cocaine while
breastfeeding the kids, that she had all these episodes in
(00:51):
the house, kind of mental breakdowns that he describes where
she would stand by the children's bed holding a knife.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
They were scared. A very kind.
Speaker 3 (00:59):
Of disruptive, terrifying picture that he paints of their home life.
But he says that he's waited all of this time
to make any comment about it because he wanted the
kids to grow up, but that he's still really concerned
about her welfare. The two kids that they have together
barely have a relationship with Brittany. They're nineteen and I
think twenty one now, so all grown up, but still
(01:23):
you know, at a kind of vulnerable age.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
I guess. He says that one of them hasn't seen
her much at all in years.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
One the younger one was visiting her a fair bit,
but hasn't spoken to her in a few months now.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
But the timing of the.
Speaker 3 (01:37):
Book, I guess, you know, people are questioning is this
a cash grab?
Speaker 1 (01:41):
He really insists it's not.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
Britney Spears has pushed back against all of the claims.
She describes the book as gas lighting, extremely hurtful and exhausting.
But I guess for Kevin Federlin, it's all about his
kid's safety. So he says, I don't know, do he
wy it?
Speaker 4 (01:59):
Well? Him writing the book isn't about their safety. That's
what you do privately if you want to protect them.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
Well, exactly.
Speaker 4 (02:05):
Yeah, it's hard to know if you see someone who
is suffering. A lot of people watch Britney's stuff on
social media and think is they're grown up in the room.
Who is helping her? But is the person who's going
to help her Kevin Federlit I don't know.
Speaker 3 (02:16):
Well exactly, and he says they have nothing to do
with each other, that they've not spoken in several years.
He didn't run any of the book or the claims
by her before publishing it. But then on the other hand,
he does say exactly what you've said, Amanda, like no
one is looking after her, who is taking care of her?
And her sons are really scared something bad is going
to happen to her. We saw her she went to
a restaurant the day the book came out last week.
(02:37):
There was some video circulating online of her kind of
stumbling a little bit in the restaurant. She smashed her glass,
and then the paparazzi tailed her home for half an
hour and she was sort of swerving between lanes. It
did look pretty scary, But at the same time, we've
got to remember the kind of paparazzi interests that's always
followed her.
Speaker 4 (02:55):
Yes, and he's just increased that first.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
Well exactly now that the microscope is back.
Speaker 4 (02:59):
On, who is looking after her?
Speaker 3 (03:01):
Well, we're not really sure to be honest, she doesn't
have much access to her kids. Her security team has
changed a few times, it's not super clear.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
The clips that she.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
Does post online are disturbing. It doesn't seem like she's
in a great place. Who knows, but I think she's
had a lifetime of people taking advantage of her, which
really speaks to the Conservatorship that big push to get her,
you know, the Free Britney movement. Let's get her out
of the Conservativeship and give her her independence and her
access to her money and stop having people like her
(03:31):
father control her. But Kevin Federline is questioning whether that
should have ever happened.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
He should have ever ended, exactly whether it should have
ever ended.
Speaker 3 (03:40):
So he did an interview with e T where he
spoke about specifically the Conservatorship and its role in her life.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
Here's a little bit of what he said.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
Everything that has happened with the Conservatorship right has created
a situation where my sons don't know how to get
help for their mind. You know, I'm pleading with people
for help. If you've ever loved this woman, or if
you ever care about this situation, right, you have to
understand that this is no longer about freedom. It's about survival.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
Had either leave Britney alone or free Brittany. What about
it for Brittany to do it right?
Speaker 3 (04:20):
He says, she's so worried about the situation, racing towards
something irreversible.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
But is this and what's something?
Speaker 4 (04:26):
If something terrible happens, everyone will say who was looking
after her? What did everyone look away?
Speaker 3 (04:32):
And he's living in Hawaii now, he's been there for
a few years. He's not someone showing up for her
right now in this part of her life. So I
don't know very concerning. I'm sure the book is going
to sell like hotcakes. People will always be interested in
these stories. Fed doesn't eat those hotcakes because they had
put on a bit of condition. He's looking not as welfare.
