He even wrote about, in his words, being &#8220;ambushed&#8221; by the unexpected divorce filing from Spears.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-cover\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" class=\"wp-block-cover__image-background wp-image-11735 size-full\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thefleetmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/FEDERLINE-AND-BRITTANY.jpg\" style=\"object-position:50% 41%\" data-object-fit=\"cover\" data-object-position=\"50% 41%\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thefleetmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/FEDERLINE-AND-BRITTANY.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.thefleetmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/FEDERLINE-AND-BRITTANY-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.thefleetmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/FEDERLINE-AND-BRITTANY-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><span aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-cover__background has-background-dim-0 has-background-dim\" style=\"background-color:#5f4b43\"><\/span><div class=\"wp-block-cover__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-cover-is-layout-constrained\">\n<p><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Federline also went into detail about the day of Spears&#8217;s infamous head-shaving incident. He claims she initially came to his home acting erratically before going to a random salon in the neighborhood and shaving her head bald. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most disturbing claims Federline mentioned in the book involved their kids. He stated on multiple occasions that Sean and Jayden would wake up in the middle of the night and see Spears standing in the doorway watching them sleep with a knife in her hand. She allegedly would walk away with no explanation once she noticed the boys were awake. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Spears released a statement accusing Federline of profiting from her after the $40,000 a month child support ended, which she was paying for their sons. She also accused her ex-husband of spreading \u201cwhite lies\u201d and \u201cgaslighting\u201d his way to the bank.<\/p>\n\n\n<div style=\"font-size:25px;\" class=\"wp-block-post-author\"><div class=\"wp-block-post-author__avatar\"><img alt='Avatar photo' src='https:\/\/www.thefleetmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/cropped-Kia-Reed-DJ-Tequila-scaled-1-96x96.jpg' srcset='https:\/\/www.thefleetmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/cropped-Kia-Reed-DJ-Tequila-scaled-1-192x192.jpg 2x' class='avatar avatar-96 photo' height='96' width='96' \/><\/div><div class=\"wp-block-post-author__content\"><p class=\"wp-block-post-author__byline\">CONTENT CREATOR MANAGER \/ WRITER<br>djtequila.fleetdjs@gmail.com<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-post-author__name\">Kia Reed<\/p><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Britney Spears&#8217; ex-husband Kevin Federline is set to release his new memoir &#8220;You Thought You Knew,&#8221; on October 21st.
