Britney Spears’ ex-husband Kevin Federline is about to publish his tell-all memoir You Thought You Knew, and he’s already sparked a heated debate.
Federline’s book is expected to be a response to the 43-year-old pop icon’s memoir, The woman in mewhich she published more than two years ago.
While the Toxic hitmaker herself has not spoken about the book, her reps noted that Federline wrote the book for profit since “child support ended with Britney,” whom he was married to from 2004 to 2007.
The actor and dancer responded to the allegations in an interview with Entertainment tonight on Tuesday, October 14, and said, “Do you want to go there right away? Okay. I’d be lying if I said I didn’t want this book to be a success. I wish I could sell a million books or more, or whatever.”
However, he added: “money is not at the root of this story, [and] it never was.”
Federline shared the real reason he wrote his book and continued, “I wanted to make sure my kids were old enough to understand what I do. Everything has always been about my family, and people don’t really realize that… every step I’ve taken has been for the benefit of my kids, and my kids are ready for me to tell my story. It’s not just my story, right? This affects everyone in my family. My kids, my wife, even my exes.”
Spears and Federline share two sons, Sean, 19, and Jayden, 18.
