Kevin Federline Claims Britney Spears Would Watch Their Sons Sleep ‘With a Knife in Her Hand’

Ahead of the release of Kevin Federline‘s memoir, You Thought You Knew, he’s speaking out about the “erratic” behavior he witnessed from ex-wife Britney Spears. Kevin was married to the pop icon for nearly three years and they shared two sons, Sean Preston and Jayden James. And now, he’s opening up about what life with Britney behind the scenes was really like.

Kevin claimed that Britney would watch their children sleep “with a knife in her hand.”

In one excerpt from his book, Kevin shared what he claims happened toward the end of their marriage that left him feeling like he needed to step in.

“They would awaken sometimes at night to find her standing silently in the doorway, watching them sleep — ‘Oh, you’re awake?’ — with a knife in her hand,” Kevin wrote, via Page Six. “Then she’d turn around and pad off without explanation.”

Kevin later continued, “The truth is, this situation with Britney feels like it’s racing toward something irreversible. It’s become impossible to pretend everything’s okay. From where I sit, the clock is ticking, and we’re getting close to the 11th hour. Something bad is going to happen if things don’t change, and my biggest fear is that our sons will be left holding the pieces.”

He doubled down on his claims in a new interview.

While speaking with Entertainment Tonight this week, Kevin said he’s “really worried” about Britney.

“I’m absolutely — as a father — terrified that one day I might wake up and my sons are going to have to deal with the unimaginable,” he said, adding, “I kinda have to sound the alarm that I truly feel that somehow, someway, I just wish that their mom would get help.”

He said the real situation with Britney is more dire than anything he’s shared publicly.

Apparently, what Kevin knows about Britney’s current reality isn’t good.

“I’m not going to get into details, because I’m not going to just expose her personal life. But it’s 10x worse than anything I’ve said in my book,” he told the outlet. “I pray to God every day that she gets the help that she needs or makes up and realizes that you have two sons right there in front of you that are screaming for a life with you.”

Britney has responded to Kevin’s claims.

In a statement that Britney’s representative released to People, she refuted her ex-husband’s accusations.

“With news from Kevin’s book breaking, once again he and others are profiting off her and sadly it comes after child support has ended with Kevin,” the statement said. “All she cares about are her kids, Sean Preston and Jayden James and their well-being during this sensationalism. She detailed her journey in her memoir.”
