Britney Spears has not seen her sons in five months because they feel uncomfortable around her and have received upsetting texts from her, according to ex-husband Kevin Federline’s lawyer.

Per gossip website TMZ, after the singer posted to Instagram (and has since deleted the post) about her relationship with her kids Sean Preston, 16, and Jayden James, 15. Federline’s lawyer Mark Vincent Kaplan said Federline has never trash-talked her to their kids. According to Kaplan, the teenagers made the decision to stay away from their mother on their own and that they have not had a single overnight stay with Britney in years. Kaplan added that Federline believes the boys love their mom, but they’re angry at her.

Kevin is annoyed Britney referred to his house as having “more weed than Ludacris, 50 Cent, Jay-Z and Puff Daddy combined!!!!”

Britney’s lawyer, Matthew Rosengart, released a statement in response to Kevin sharing private videos on Instagram: “Britney Spears is a brilliantly-talented, extremely-hardworking icon, who is rightfully beloved and respected by millions around the world. The same, unfortunately, can not 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’s husband Sam Asghari came to his wife’s defense on Instagram, writing about Federline, “His character is revealed by approval of the cruel 13 CShip and his loyalty to Jaimie indicates his approval at time of its conception as well.”

Asghari’s concluded his Story with a laugh, writing, “I will not comment on this matter again except to say I have a job,” with a crying laughing emoji.

• What Has She Done?

  Britney Spears’ whole entire family including her kids have turned on her. This is the saddest thing ever. What has she ever done to deserve this? I just don’t get it

• Shameful Example

  Not gonna comment on Britney Spears' relationship with her kids (none of my business) but the fact that her expressing her own sexuality on social media is being weaponized to paint her as a bad mom is a shameful example of how mothers are frequently dehumanized in our culture.

• She Deserves Respect

  The fact that Britney Spears has to remind her own kids that she is a WOMAN and she deserves RESPECT tells us all we need to know about Kevin Federline’s parental influence. That man is pure evil and he’s raised those kids in his image. Truly tragic. #JusticeForBritney

• Spoken Sternly

  Britney Spears was illegally surveilled by her father without her knowledge or consent. Now Kevin Federline wants to act like she’s an abusive parent because she’s spoken sternly to her kids before while he welcomes Jamie Spears back into his sons’ lives?

• Proved A Point

  Kevin Federaline posted illegally recorded videos that he made his sons record of Britney Spears discipling and arguing with her kids to prove a point?
  
  I will say it did prove a point. It proved Britney can be a responsible parent who can keep her kids in check when needed.

• 'Scathing'

  Dear Kevin Federline. You released a “scathing” video of a mom being a mom. Sometimes moms -gasp - have reactions. They might discipline by taking things away or ask for respect. This is shocking but sometimes moms will argue with their kids. #BritneySpears

• 'Gotcha'

  Wait, Britney Spears giving her kids clear boundaries, expectations, and wanting them to know her worth & value like millions of other parents have in a highly out-of-context and edited video, is Kevin Federline's 'gotcha' moment?

• Start Speaking Like It

  Kevin Federline just exposed videos of his kids bullying & secretly recording their own mother in the privacy of her own home. @britneyspears deserves so much better. How disgusting can you be?! SHE HAS PAID EVERY MEAL IN ALL YALLS MOUTHS. START SPEAKING LIKE IT. #RespectBritney

• Notorious Deadbeat

  Kevin Federline? Really? The most notorious deadbeat? Britney Spears has been THROUGH it and accepted the cruelty of her conservatorship for 13 years (!) in order to keep being able to see her kids. Kevin is still tight w Jamie bc he got 💰. These awful men need to disappear.

• Hasn't Known Peace

  Britney Spears knows her worth as a mother and woman. That’s all I got from those videos. She really hasn’t known peace from those around her.

  — Stephanie. (@qsteph) August 11, 2022

• Truly Heartbreaking

  Thinking about it right now and it’s truly heartbreaking that Britney probably had no idea her sons would record her like that and is only finding out about it now that Kevin posted them! The sadness Britney must being feeling is horrible. #BritneySpears #JusticeForBritney
