Britney Spears said she was used. Kevin Federline says she needs help

Kevin Federline, Britney Spears' ex-husband, has released a memoir titled "You Thought You Knew" offering his perspective on their relationship, her mental health struggles, and the controversial conservatorship that controlled Spears' life for 13 years. The book directly contradicts many accounts from Spears' 2023 memoir "The Woman In Me," particularly regarding the necessity of her conservatorship, which Federline claims provided stability for their children while Spears characterized it as controlling and abusive. Spears has denounced Federline's book as "extremely hurtful and exhausting," while Federline insists he's publishing his account to ensure his children don't have to "explain who their father is" and to counter decades of media portrayal as a "bad boy" coasting on Spears' wealth.
