Overview

• Federline writes that their sons told him Britney Spears sometimes stood in their doorway at night watching them sleep with a knife in her hand, a claim reported from his memoir.
• He says her situation feels like it is racing toward something irreversible and urges a shift from the “Free Britney” movement to “Save Britney.”
• A representative for Spears disputed his account, accusing him of trying to profit after child support ended and stressing that Spears cares about her sons’ well-being.
• Federline told the New York Times he has not spoken to Spears in years; Sean Preston, 20, and Jayden James, 19, largely grew up in his custody.
• The allegations stem from an excerpt published by the New York Times and have not been independently corroborated; the book also recounts her 2008 psychiatric hold and is due out Oct. 21.
