Britney Spears‘s dance videos are back in the spotlight after a book excerpt raised new questions about the pop star’s recent social media presence. In an audiobook clip from Kevin Federline’s memoir, the dancer says he “saw history repeating itself” once her conservatorship ended.
Spears’s ex-husband adds, “It didn’t take a rehab counselor to see that she was high in many of those videos,” a source says. The remarks reference the now-infamous Britney Spears knife clips and other reportedly erratic uploads.
Kevin Federline claims in his book that Britney Spears is high in many of her dance videos
As cited in US Magazine, Kevin Federline explains who said what and why it matters. He describes noticing “infamous videos of her dancing with knives,” along with “cryptic rants and wild behavior.” He says their sons, Sean Preston and Jayden James, learned to avoid social media because of fan backlash. He claimed the boys faced “endless negativity and blame.” He frames the choice as self-protection while they rebuild a private relationship with their mom.
He also recounts the years after their split and her 13-year conservatorship, which ended in 2021. According to the excerpt, the renewed surge of Instagram activity alarmed him. He ties the concern to specific visuals many followers remember, including Britney Spears’s dance videos in her living room and the singer’s knife routines that sparked safety calls from viewers.
The singer’s camp resisted the allegations. In a statement responding to the book’s publication, her representative says, “Once again he and others are profiting off her, and sadly it comes after child support has ended with Kevin. All she cares about are her kids, Sean Preston and Jayden James, and their well-being during this sensationalism.” The response underscores her focus on family and disputes the motives behind the claims.
Federline and Spears married in 2004 and divorced in 2007. She has spoken publicly about the conservatorship being “abusive,” and she has recently reconnected with both sons. The memoir excerpt, meanwhile, presents his perspective on how online scrutiny, fan movements, and personal history collide.
