LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Kevin Federline has made disturbing claims about ex-wife Britney spears in his upcoming memoir 'You Have No Idea', alleging that the pop star once said she wished their children, Sean Preston and Jayden James, were dead.

The explosive excerpts, obtained on Friday, October 18, have sparked renewed controversy over the former couple’s turbulent past.

Shocking Allegations by Kevin Federline

Federline claims Spears once became physically aggressive with Sean Preston, punching him in the face during an argument. He also writes that when Preston was around 10 or 11, he questioned why his mother insisted on bathing with him.

“It was clear he was uncomfortable, to put it mildly, and I had to step in and make it stop,” Federline writes.

Kevin Federline Feared for Sons During Britney Spears’ Custody Visits

The former dancer details years of unease over Spears’ parenting, saying her erratic behavior often made him question their children’s safety. “Britney’s visits with the boys were frequent enough, but there was always something going on in her world,” he claims. Federline recounts the boys once returned from a visit with bleached hair that had “chemical burns,” forcing him to shave their heads.

“There was always something – issues with her agent or clashes with her dad – that made me worry about what kind of environment the boys were walking into,” he adds.

As Sean Preston and Jayden James grew older, Federline says they became increasingly distant from their mother. After the family relocated to Hawaii, tensions reportedly escalated.

Federline alleges that during a heated phone call, Spears told her son she “wished they were all dead.”

“How could a mother say that to her son?” he writes. “Preston, having dealt with her vitriol for years, took it better than I did... Trauma like that left scars, ones I fear they’ll carry for the rest of their lives.”

Britney Spears Responds to Kevin Federline’s Claims

Spears responded to the allegations on social media on Wednesday, October 16, saying she “100 percent” disagreed with Federline’s narrative. “If truth be told, the man in the interview went STRAIGHT TO the SOURCE and said it CLEAR AS DAY… no money from Britney for five years — you trying to get paid,” she wrote.

She added that Federline had only called her “one time” in the last six years and didn’t invite her to their son’s birthday. “If you really love someone, then you don’t help them by humiliating them,” Spears stated, adding that she now needs “healing.”
