Overview
- Excerpts published by the New York Times quote Federline alleging their sons once woke to Spears standing in a doorway with a knife and warning her situation is racing toward something irreversible.
- Spears posted on X accusing Federline of “constant gaslighting” and profiteering, disputing his account and saying she has had limited contact with her now‑adult sons in recent years.
- Her representative called the rollout sensationalism and noted the book arrives after Federline’s child support ended.
- Federline’s manuscript details additional alleged incidents involving the children, but these claims remain his account without public confirmation from Sean Preston or Jayden James.
- Federline’s You Thought You Knew is scheduled for Oct. 21 release, reviving long‑running tensions tied to past custody arrangements and the conservatorship that ended in 2021.
