Britney Spears Speaks Out After Kevin Federline Claims Their Sons Chose Not to See Her

After her ex-husband Kevin Federline claimed her sons — Sean Preston, 16, and Jayden James, 15 — have chosen not to see her, Britney Spears is speaking out. Federline’s comments are part of a larger interview set to air on ITV in the U.K. later this week, but portions of the interview have been shared by the Daily Mail. The former backup dancer claims the boys decided not to see their mother for the time being, in part due to partially nude photos she shared on Instagram.

“The boys have decided they are not seeing her right now,” Federline said. “It’s been a few months since they’ve seen her. They made the decision not to go to her wedding.”

On Saturday, Aug. 6, Spears responded via Instagram. “It saddens me to hear that my ex-husband has decided to discuss the relationship between me and my children,” she wrote on her Instagram Stories. “As we all know, raising teenage boys is never easy for anyone…it concerns me the fact that the reason is based on my INSTAGRAM…it was LONG before Instagram…I gave them everything…Only one word: HURTFUL…I’ll say it…My mother told me “You should GIVE them to their dad” …I’m sharing this because I can…Have a good day folks!!!”

In the interview, Federline mentioned the boys are reportedly uncomfortable with the photos their mother has been posting on Instagram since her conservatorship ended. “I try to explain to them maybe that’s just another way she tries to express herself,” he said. “But that doesn’t take away from the fact of what it does to them. It’s tough.”

Spears addressed her ex’s comments about her Instagram in a post on the social media site, in which she wrote that other celebrities share more intimate photos than she does. “Reminder that the trauma and insults that come with fame and this business not only affect me but my children as well!!!!!” she wrote. “I’m only human and I’ve done my best…I honestly would like to share my TWO CENTS!!!! I daringly would like for the Federline’s to watch the BIG BOOTY VIDEO !!! Other artists have made much worse when their children were extremely young!!!”

The “Baby One More Time” singer’s husband, Sam Asghari, responded to Federline’s interview on his Instagram as well. “There is not validity to his statement regarding the kids distancing themselves and it is irresponsible to make that statement publicly,” Asghari wrote on his Instagram Story. “The boys are very smart and will be 18 soon to make their own decisions and may eventually realize the ‘tough’ part was having a father who hasn’t worked much in over 15 years as a role model.”

Asghari concluded his statement by defending Spears’s release from her conservatorship. “Things that are now considered normal issues and behavior easily dealt with therapy or other ways were magnified to justify a 13 year prison sentence,” Asghari said of his wife’s years spent under a conservatorship. “Anyone approving of it is wrong of benefiting from it somehow. I will not comment on this matter except to say I have a job.”
