Britney Spears’ Ex-Husband Jason Alexander Shares Fiery Message About Kevin Federline’s Book
Jason Alexander isn’t buying Kevin Federline’s story.
Britney Spears’ longtime friend and first husband is speaking out amid claims included in Kevin’s forthcoming book You Thought You Knew, noting he “can’t stay silent.”
“It’s easy to point fingers now, to talk about Britney’s struggles like you were just some innocent bystander watching it all happen,” Jason wrote in an Oct. 15 Instagram post set to Jelly Roll and Post Malone’s ‘Losers.’” “But that’s not what went down. You were her husband. You were supposed to be her protector.”
Alongside the post that included a meme of Kevin, Jason wrote, “You were there for all of it,” he added. “You weren’t trying to pull her out—you were feeding off it.”
Jason, 44—who was married to the singer for 48 hours before their marriage was annulled in 2004—also hinted at the dynamic between Britney and Kevin, who share kids Sean Preston, 20, and Jayden James, 19.
Jason went on to write in part, “If you’re going to write a book, at least have the guts to tell the truth about your part in it. The nights you partied. The times you turned your back.” He went on to add, “You played the game, And now, you want to act like the mature one, like the man who held it all together?”

Jason ended his message with a call for Kevin to take accountability for his part in their three-year marriage, which ended in 2007.
“Britney has been through enough—and it’s always men trying to profit from her story while ignoring the damage they helped cause,” Jason said. “You want to tell your side? Fine. But don’t pretend you were the victim or the hero. Be real. Be accountable. Because those of us who were really there—who actually cared about her, not the fame—we remember how it really went down. And we’re not buying the rewrite.”
E! News has reached out to Kevin’s reps, who declined to comment.
In his book, out Oct. 21, Kevin has included several allegations about his ex, including a claim that Britney stood in their sons’ room holding a knife while they were sleeping. The former dancer also made claims about the “Baby One More Time” singer’s current state.
“The truth is, this situation with Britney feels like it’s racing toward something irreversible,” Kevin writes in the memoir. “It’s become impossible to pretend everything’s OK.”
For her part, however, Britney broke her silence on her exes’ “hurtful” book and claims about her strained relationship with their sons.
“I have felt demoralized by this situation and have always asked and almost begged for them to be a part of my life,” the “Sometimes” singer wroteon X Oct. 15. “Sadly, they have always witnessed the lack of respect shown by own father for me. They need to take responsibility for themselves.”
Condemning Kevin’s book as filled with “white lies,” Britney added, “I am the only one who genuinely gets hurt here.”

How Kevin Federline Told Shar Jackson About Britney Spears Relationship
Kevin said he and Britney were “holed up” in her hotel bungalow for days before paparazzi caught wind of their romance during a beach outing. The photos eventually made their way to Shar, who was then-pregnant with her and Kevin’s second baby together.
“When I finally called her, I remember pacing the floor, heart pounding,” Kevin wrote. “I told her about Britney, about the connection we had, and how I couldn’t ignore it. I could hear the heartbreak in her voice, and the pain it caused. She was angry. But under the anger was something deeper, a sadness I couldn’t undo.”
Looking back, Kevin acknowledged that he “should’ve been more upfront about how unhappy” he was in his relationship with Shar.
“I let things unravel instead of facing them head-on,” he said. “I told myself the distance would make things easier, but it just delayed the inevitable. By the time we spoke, it was too late. I had already let her piece together the truth on her own. The photos of Britney and me on the beach helped.”

Britney Spears’ Alleged Hookup With a Female Dancer
When Kevin joined Britney on the European leg of her 2004 Onyx Tour, he was admittedly “already catching real feelings.” So, he was quite surprised when he says he walked in on Britney and a female dancer in a hotel room in Amsterdam.
“Britney stood between her legs, hands on her face, and they were f–king going at it. Full-on making out,” Kevin wrote in his memoir. “It was one of those moments that hits you so fast, your brain can’t even begin to process it.”
Kevin said he immediately walked out of the room to book a flight home, but Britney “started apologizing.”
“She told me she didn’t realize how serious I was about us, that she was overwhelmed, and it had been a mistake,” Kevin shared, describing the discussion as a “turning point” in their relationship. “It was our first fight, or whatever you want to call it. I think it was the moment she realized I wasn’t there for the fame or the perks. I was only there for her.”

How Kevin Federline Actually Proposed to Britney Spears
According to the dancer, Britney brought up the idea of marriage while they were flying back to the U.S. from the European leg of her tour.
“There we were, sitting in first class, sipping cocktails, talking about life, and then—bam—she was casually, or maybe not so casually, proposing to me,” he remembered. “I kind of laughed it off, played it cool, and told her no.”
Kevin said Britney looked “a little shocked,” and the couple didn’t speak about it again until after her knee injury in June 2004, when she had to cancel the remaining dates of her tour for surgery.
“I thought about what she’d said on the plane,” wrote Kevin, who stayed with Britney as she recovered. “I kept replaying it in my head, wondering if I’d made a mistake brushing it off. By the time she was well enough to think about flying again, I finally worked up the nerve to ask her the question she’d asked me weeks earlier.”
“We didn’t even have a ring,” Kevin continued. “It all started as a simple, heartfelt conversation, a mutual acknowledgment of what we wanted and where we were headed. We were just two people sitting together, deeply in the moment, deciding that this was it—we were getting married.”

Britney Spears Called Justin Timberlake Before Her Wedding
Kevin said Britney called her ex-boyfriend Justin Timberlake on the night before their October 2004 wedding to address “unfinished business.”
“I figured she was talking to her mom or her sister, so I went back to the room,” he recounted. “When she got back to the room, I could tell she’d been crying.”
Kevin continued of Britney, “She said she was talking to Justin. She said she needed to call him, to end one chapter of her life before starting a new one.”

Britney Spears “Never Really Got Over” Justin Timberlake, Kevin Federline Says
While Kevin said Britney did explain to him that she called Justin for “closure,” he believes the Grammy winner “never really got over” her 2002 breakup with the *NSYNC member.
“Even after the wedding, I could tell she hadn’t fully moved on,” Kevin wrote in his book, explaining that Justin’s name “came up enough” throughout their relationship. “I could see that part of her heart still had ties to him.”
“She might’ve loved me, but there was always something there with Justin that she couldn’t let go of,” he continued. “Being in love with someone still hanging on to someone else—you feel it, even if they don’t say it. It’s not something you can compete with.”

Kevin Federline Accuses Britney Spears of Slapping Him While Holding Son
By early 2006, the couple had welcomed their first son Sean Preston and was expecting their second child Jayden James. At the time, Kevin said there were already “signs” of a troubled relationship, including an argument over his use of marijuana.
“Britney came storming into the bedroom, holding Preston, and just ripped into me,” Kevin wrote. “She knew who I was. She married me knowing it. But she was on the warpath, shouting her head off. Then she slapped me. Right in the face. With our son in her arms.”
Kevin said that confrontation “was the first time things got physical.”
“It wouldn’t be the last,” he wrote, “but that one stuck with me.”
In response to the release of Kevin’s memoir, Britney shared in an October 2025 message on X, formerly Twitter, “The constant gaslighting from ex-husband is extremely hurtful and exhausting.”

Kevin Federline Says He Was “Ambushed” by Britney Spears Divorce
Though Kevin said he and Britney “were never the same” after that alleged altercation, he had no idea the two were headed for a divorce. In fact, he was in Canada promoting his 2006 album Playing With Fire when he said he learned that Britney had filed divorce papers.
“I got to the studio, went through the usual motions with producers,” he recalled. “I knew what to expect, another day answering the same questions, until a producer ambushed me—right before I went live on air—with: ‘How do you feel about Britney filing for divorce?’ My brain just…froze.”
Describing the experience as “humiliating, infuriating and devastating all at once,” Kevin said he believes Britney filed for divorce without telling him because her “PR team thought that after the Timberlake breakup, it would look bad if she was on the receiving end again.”

What Kevin Federline Says Happened on the Day Britney Spears Shaved Her Head
Before Britney infamously shaved her head—an act she said was a response to the constant objectification of her body—Kevin alleged that she showed up at his house “ringing the bell and shouting a bunch of things that didn’t make sense.”
“Obviously, she was in no condition to be around our kids to stop her,” Kevin wrote in his memoir. “They wouldn’t have understood why their mom was looking and acting so bizarrely, and I didn’t want to scare them.”
He said Britney eventually “went down to some random hair salon in the neighborhood,” where she buzzed her hair off.
“The photos from that moment wound up everywhere—her shaved head, the wild look in her eyes,” Kevin wrote. “That was the exact energy she brought to my gate earlier.”

Britney Spears Allegedly Favored Her Younger Son Jayden James
Kevin wrote that “it was obvious” his ex favored their youngest son over their oldest.
“Preston felt neglected while Jayden received most of her attention,” the dad wrote. “I don’t doubt she loved them both, but her actions made it clear who came first.”
In turn, “Preston carried that pain for years,” according to Kevin.
“The night terrors, the need for constant reassurance, the feeling that he wasn’t loved as much as his brother—it lingered,” he shared of Preston. “Even as he got older and could articulate his feelings, the scars remained.”
In general response to Kevin’s memoir, Britney wrote on X October 2025, “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. Sadly, they have always witnessed the lack of respect shown by own father for me.”

Kevin Federline Shares What Sons Allegedly Told Him About Britney Spears
As the boys got older, Kevin said they began telling him about their experiences with Britney that showed a “bigger dynamic of control and the denial of their independence.”
For instance, Kevin alleged Britney would take Jayden to ride horses despite his severe allergies to the animal.
“She continued feeding Jayden shellfish even after knowing he was allergic, brushing off concerns like it wasn’t a big deal,” he continued. “Preston once told me she had punched him in the face.”
Kevin also alleged that his ex once “bulldozed her way” into his home with “one boob hanging out of a ripped shirt.”
“In one hand she’s got a single purple diaper. For Jayden. Who hadn’t worn a diaper in over a year,” he wrote. “Preston bee-lined it to the basement to hide. Britney walked in, grabbed Jayden, sat him on the couch, and started undressing him.”
Kevin said Britney left after the kids’ nanny stepped in.

Kevin Federline Says Sons Had “Unsettling” Visits With Britney Spears
“Britney’s visits with the boys were frequent enough, but there was always something going on in her world,” Kevin wrote, “like the time they came home with their hair bleached. Not just streaked or lightly done. It was bleached down to their scalps. Their skin was burned.”
Elsewhere in his memoir, Kevin said Preston was about 10 or 11 “when he came to me, asking why his mom kept forcing him to bathe with her.”
“It was clear he was uncomfortable,” he continued. “By the time they were teenagers, the boys told me they didn’t want to go to their mom’s house anymore.”
Kevin said Preston and Jayden eventually recorded “incidents” with Britney on their phones.
“One video showed Britney screaming at Preston over a shirt he didn’t want to wear for a photo for her Instagram,” he shared. “Another video showed her in the car, berating Preston, calling him names, while turning to Jayden and speaking to him in baby-talk.”
According to Kevin, Jayden also had video of Britney “waking him up to put lotion on his face” in the middle of the night.
“He filmed her yelling about respect and going off on him,” Kevin shared. “She would regularly wake him up in the middle of the night and drag him to her room to keep her company or watch movies with her.”
Kevin said the story that “shook” him the most was when Preston and Jayden woke up to find Britney allegedly “standing silently in the doorway, watching them sleep—’Oh, you’re awake?’—with a knife in her hand.”
In response to Kevin’s accusations, Britney said on X in October 2025, “Trust me, those white lies in that book, they are going straight to the bank and I am the only one who genuinely gets hurt here. I will always love them and if you really know me, you won’t pay attention to the tabloids of my mental health and drinking.”
Kevin Federline Says Britney Spears’ Sons Stopped Seeing Her
“Every visit seemed to end with her yelling about something,” Kevin wrote. “The boys just didn’t want to deal with it anymore.”
Describing his sons as “emotionally drained” during that time, Kevin said their visits with Britney became “less frequent, then stopped altogether.”
“One night, after another unsettling visit, the boys came home and said, ‘We’re done. We’re not going back,'” Kevin wrote. “You could feel the tension in our house evaporate. They weren’t bouncing between two worlds anymore.”

Where Britney Spears Stands With Her Sons Today
“Both boys have matured and gained a clearer perspective on their mom and the challenges she faces,” Kevin shared. “They’ve also learned to protect themselves emotionally, knowing when to engage and when to step back.”
That’s why he said they continue to stay off social media and live life out of the spotlight.
“Preston, 20, is my thinker and deep feeler, a steady, calm presence with a sharp creative mind and a love for music,” Kevin gushed. “His bond with his brother Jayden, now 19, is beyond strong.”
And while Preston remains in Hawaii—where the family relocated to in 2023—Jayden has moved back to Los Angeles to chase his “music dreams,” according to Kevin.
“Watching them grow as each other’s biggest supporters has been one of my greatest joys,” he added. “Watching both of them grow into themselves has filled me with pride.”For the latest breaking news updates, click here to download the E! News App
