As if Britney Spears hasn’t been through enough, she’s now being demonized for being the mom of teen sons. Her sentient Ed Hardy hat of an ex-husband, Kevin Federline, decided it was his moment to stir the pot and posted videos to his social media of Spears arguing with her two kids. The videos were taken years ago by her children, Sean Preston and Jayden. In the now-deleted clips, Spears sternly speaks to her kids, raising her voice beyond the baby voice she usually uses on her own social media — but the situation is more complicated than Federline exposing some family secret.
The videos were taken during Britney’s controversial conservatorship, during which she was being drugged, abused, and manipulated. On top of that, most families have tense moments that they wouldn’t want broadcast without context. Federline captioned the videos, “I cannot sit back and let my sons be accused in this way after what they’ve been through. We decided as a family to post these videos they took when they were 11 and 12. This isn’t even the worst of it. The lies have to stop. I hope our kids grow up to be better than this. #NeverFearTruth.”
