Britney Spears, Kevin Federline

In a new interview with ITV News, Kevin Federline, Britney Spears' ex-husband, is making many new claims about her relationship with their two sons, ...

Spears later wrote on her own Instagram story, “It saddens me to hear that my ex husband has decided to discuss the relationship between me and my children. The former backup dancer and DJ further claimed that he decided to do the interview in the hopes of getting Spears to understand the effect her Instagram has on her kids. “I try to explain to them ‘Look, maybe that’s just another way she tries to express herself.’ But that doesn’t take away from the fact of what it does to them,” he said. Spears currently pays Federline over $20,000 per month in child support. “Kevin’s gravy train will end soon, which probably explains the timing of these hurtful statements,” he wrote, before pointing out Federline’s support for the conservatorship. He specifically pointed to Spears’ love of posting nearly-nude selfies (which comply with Instagram’s nudity policy and often include strategically placed emojis), claiming the photos have a negative effect on their teenage sons.

"It saddens me to hear that my ex-husband has decided to discuss the relationship between me and my children," Spears said in a statement.

"The boys are very smart and will be 18 soon to make their own decisions and may eventually realize the 'tough' part was having a father who hasn't worked much in over 15 years as a role model." "Things that are now considered normal issues and behavior easily dealt with therapy or other ways were magnified to justify a 13 year prison sentence. "But that doesn't take away from the fact of what it does to them. They made the decision not to go to her wedding," Federline told the tabloid. My mother told me 'you should GIVE them to their dad' ... I'm sharing this because I can ... Have a good day folks!!!" "Look, maybe that's just another way she tries to express herself," Federline said of the nude selfies.

Britney Spears is saddened by her ex-husband's recent comments about her relationship with their teenage sons.

"The boys are very smart and will be 18 soon to make their own decisions and may eventually realize the 'tough' part was having a father who hasn't worked much in over 15 years as a role model." "I would absolutely welcome Jamie Spears back in the boys' lives, Especially if that's what the boys wanted," Federline said. I can't imagine how it feels to be a teenager having to go to high school." "But that doesn't take away from the fact of what it does to them. "I try to explain to them, 'Look, maybe that's just another way she tries to express herself,'" Federline told the publication. "Only one word: HURTFUL ... I'll say it ... My mother told me 'You should GIVE them to their dad.' I'm sharing this because I can," she added.

An interview with Federline led to a rebuttal from Spears...and then Sam Asghari jumped in!

He saved her life.” He said he would “absolutely” allow his sons to continue to have a relationship with their grandfather. On Saturday, she wrote in her Stories (via Page Six): “It saddens me to hear that my ex-husband has decided to discuss the relationship between me and my children. Federline said his sons have chosen to separate themselves from their mother and that missing her June wedding to Sam Asghari was also their decision. I do not know him personally and have nothing against him aside him choosing to vilify my wife. He credits Spears’ father, Jamie Spears, the man responsible for his daughter’s conservatorship, with saving the pop star’s life and said that Spears’ social media posts, which frequently feature her in various states of undress, are “tough” on her sons. In an interview with the Daily Mail that is set to be “aired on ITV news this week,” Federline said that his sons with Spears, 16-year-old Sean and 15-year-old Jayden, have not seen their mother for a few months.

Britney Spears is speaking up after her ex-husband, Kevin Federline, gave a public interview about their sons Sean Preston and Jayden James.

"The boys are very smart and will be 18 soon to make their own decisions and may eventually realize the 'tough' part was having a father who hasn't worked much in over 15 years as a role model." "Reminder that the trauma and insults that come with fame and this business not only affect me but my children as well!!!!!," she wrote in part. “I was told ... I’m not able to get married or have a baby,” she said at the time. They made the decision not to go to her wedding." Why should Britney Spears, a grown woman in her forties, have to censor what she posts on Instagram for the comfort of high school boys? Spears and her current husband, Sam Asghari, also publicly responded to the remarks made in the interview.
