Britney Spears is reportedly on a social media hiatus after the release of her ex-husband Kevin Federline’s new memoir. Spears’ friends describe this as a difficult few weeks for the singer. According to sources, her break came shortly after the book stirred painful memories of Spears’ marriage to Federline — an event that led to a streak of tweets and public rants by the pop star.
Britney Spears’ decision to deactivate Instagram was her own, per source
Insiders exclusively told the Daily Mail that Britney Spears has decided to go on a social media hiatus following the rough weeks of dealing with her ex Kevin Federline’s 2025 memoir, “You Thought You Knew.” An insider claimed that she made the decision herself. A source told the outlet, “She needed to come off social media,” explaining that the nonstop public attention and chatter about her past were overwhelming for her.
As a result, Spears’ account disappeared suddenly, sparking worry among fans. However, those close to her insist she simply needed some time off. Federline’s memoir paints an unflattering picture of their time together and includes several claims about the years they shared raising sons Sean Preston and Jayden James.
However, Spears denied the allegations. She also accused her ex of using their history to generate publicity and profit, especially after the end of his child support payments. Following her response online, Spears stopped posting altogether. Sources told the Daily Mail that her small inner circle urged her to stay offline to secure her peace and focus on herself for a while.
During her time away, Spears has kept close to a few friends, including longtime confidant and former agent Cade Hudson, with whom Spears has known each other for more than two decades. Now sources claimed he has been a steady presence. An insider said, “She trusts Cade more than anyone else in the world,” adding that he knows when to be firm but also when to just be a friend.
Britney Spears has been spending her days quietly as she began her social media hiatus. She has been exercising, gardening, and resting at home.
