Overview
- Speaking on the Nov. 10 Talk Shop Live podcast, Federline said Spears has recently spoken with Sean Preston, 20, and Jayden James, 19.
- He said the brothers are trying to “mend a bond” with their mother and that he supports their efforts, though he has not spoken to Spears since the book was published.
- Federline contended that releasing his memoir, You Thought You Knew, was necessary after other attempts to fix the family rift and said he would accept being “the bad guy” if it helps the boys reconnect.
- Spears has publicly rejected the book’s allegations as “white lies,” accused Federline of gaslighting, and through a representative said he and others are profiting off her.
- Outlets note the sons have not given independent, on‑the‑record corroboration of the claims; Federline previously had primary custody, and Spears’ conservatorship ended in 2021.
