Britney Spears’ lawyer has defended the singer as a “faithful” mother who “loves her children dearly” after family videos were released by her ex-husband.
Mathew Rosengart said Kevin Federline, 44, had “undermined the privacy and dignity” of the star, below, and that his actions were “cruel, bottom of the barrel stuff”.
Former dancer Federline, who was married to Spears from 2004 to 2007, posted a series of videos that appear to show her arguing with her children. In an interview this week, he said the former couple’s two teenage sons have made the decision to not see their mother.
Mr Rosengart said: “Britney Spears is a brilliantly talented, extremely-hardworking icon, who is rightfully beloved and respected by millions around the world.
“The same, unfortunately, cannot be said about Mr Federline, who for reasons that are inexplicable, decided to give a gratuitous interview that has hurt the mother of his children.
“Britney has faithfully supported her children and she loves them dearly.”
He added: “Whether he realises it or not, Mr Federline has not only violated the privacy and dignity of the mother of his children, he has undermined his own children, whose privacy he should protect.”
He urged Mr Federline “to act with a measure of grace and decency and to cease from publicly discussing private matters”.
