Britney Spears pushed back on Kevin Federline’s new memoir, disputing allegations about her parenting and substance use. In a post on X, she called his claims “gaslighting,” said she has fought to be present for their sons, and criticized “white lies” she says profit others while hurting her. Federline, promoting You Thought You Knew ahead of its Oct. 21 release, recounts incidents including a knife in a doorway and drinking while pregnant. He told THR their sons support his telling and said he wants Spears “happy and healthy.” Spears’ team accused him of profiting.
