Britney Spears is reportedly struggling to cope with the fallout from her ex-husband Kevin Federline’s memoir “You Thought You Knew.” The book revives painful memories and allegations from the former couple’s past. According to insiders, Spears feels humiliated and betrayed by the memoir, which paints a troubling picture of her motherhood.

A close friend of Britney Spears revealed that she is “absolutely devastated” by the memoir’s release. “Britney feels humiliated — like she’s being painted as a bad mother all over again,” the source told #ShuterScoop. “Her biggest fear is that her sons will read this book and believe every word.”
The memoir includes a shocking claim that the 41-year-old once stood in her sons’ doorway holding a knife. “They (Kids) 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 Federline wrote in his memoir. “Then she’d turn around and pad off without explanation.”
Despite the singer’s denial, sources say the damage has already been done. “It’s retraumatizing her,” an insider shared. “Every time she attempts to rebuild her life, someone finds a way to tear her down again.”
The renewed attention has left Spears feeling isolated and abandoned. “She doesn’t understand why Kevin’s doing this,” another tipster explained. “Child support is over — so what’s left to gain? She feels like he’s cashing in on her pain.”
Further, sources close to the “Princess of Pop” worry that the resurfaced allegations could trigger another emotional spiral. “She’s not just hurt,” one friend admitted. “She’s broken.”
Kevin Federline and Britney Spears married in 2004. They finalized their divorce in 2007 following a lengthy custody dispute that continued until 2008—the ex-couple share two sons — Sean Preston, now 20, and Jayden James, 19.
