Speaker 1: So we we are pumped to be talking to you

16
00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:45,320
Speaker 1: for so many different reasons. Obviously the book, though the

17
00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:49,320
Speaker 1: book is is is so explosive. Everybody's talking about it.

18
00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:53,000
Speaker 1: What finally made you decide? You know what? I'm writing

19
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:54,520
Speaker 1: this thing and I got to put it out there?

20
00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:59,200
Speaker 2: Well, I mean, look, I've always wanted people to know

21
00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:03,520
Speaker 2: who I am, especially whenever you got everybody else telling

22
00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:07,000
Speaker 2: your story for you. It's kind of you know, I

23
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:09,920
Speaker 2: think anybody would want to But I mean time and

24
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:13,880
Speaker 2: staying quiet for so long hoping that a situation would turn,

25
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:17,520
Speaker 2: you know, for the better, and then also waiting for

26
00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:21,600
Speaker 2: my kids to be old enough to understand why I'm

27
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:24,520
Speaker 2: doing this and get behind it. That's that is it.

28
00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:28,360
Speaker 2: That's that's what brought us to the twenty year Times.

29
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:33,000
Speaker 1: Then, Okay, so what point did you notice Obviously you

30
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:36,200
Speaker 1: were divorced from Brittany, but what point did you notice

31
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:40,440
Speaker 1: something's not right here, something isn't really adding up with

32
00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:41,280
Speaker 1: her behavior.

33
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:48,920
Speaker 2: I don't know. I would say they were looking back,

34
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:50,720
Speaker 2: And I think I say this in the book. You

35
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:55,120
Speaker 2: know that there were signs throughout our relationship, but I mean, really,

36
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:58,240
Speaker 2: what when it came to a head was the night

37
00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:01,800
Speaker 2: of my album release party and and you know, walking in,

38
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:06,320
Speaker 2: catching her and her friends just doing drugs, and then

39
00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:09,280
Speaker 2: you know, tweeting with her not to go home and

40
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:16,400
Speaker 2: breastfeed Jaden. Okay, that was that was the That was

41
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:19,720
Speaker 2: the like, I need to like put my foot down moment.

42
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:21,840
Speaker 2: And and when I did that, I got a drink

43
00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:25,519
Speaker 2: thrown in my face and basically knew at that moment

44
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:27,760
Speaker 2: that she was done listening to me.

45
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:33,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, So has it always been substance issues or is

46
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:36,480
Speaker 1: it mental health issues? Or a combination of both.

47
00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:39,960
Speaker 2: I mean, look, I'm not a doctor. I think it

48
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:44,560
Speaker 2: is a combination. But right now, like current day, for me,

49
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:49,600
Speaker 2: obviously I'm very sensitive to her mental health, but at

50
00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:52,440
Speaker 2: the same time, the most important thing for me is

51
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:53,560
Speaker 2: the addiction. Right now.

52
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:57,880
Speaker 1: Well, I mean, obviously we see everything kind of play

53
00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:01,720
Speaker 1: out on her you know, social media, and we're seeing

54
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:05,120
Speaker 1: these you know, wacky dance videos with her, you know,

55
00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:07,840
Speaker 1: flinging knives around and doing all these things, and it

56
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:12,840
Speaker 1: just doesn't look right. It doesn't look like she's mentally stable.

57
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:15,359
Speaker 1: And so you know, if she's putting it out there

58
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:18,040
Speaker 1: and we're all seeing it, it's not the craziest thing

59
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:20,280
Speaker 1: in the world to go, well, something's wrong there, right.

60
00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:24,040
Speaker 2: That's right, that's right. And I feel like that's why,

61
00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:28,920
Speaker 2: you know, I'm out here crying for help, you know,

62
00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:33,520
Speaker 2: trying to get some support for my kids and her family,

63
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:36,840
Speaker 2: people that have been vilified by Free Brittany and you

64
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:39,800
Speaker 2: know this whole wall that's been created around her to

65
00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:43,400
Speaker 2: block anybody that actually cares about her.

66
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:44,480
Speaker 1: Yeah.

67
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:47,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, And that was going to be my question to you, Kevin, like,

68
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:51,640
Speaker 3: how did you feel during that Free Britney moment, because

69
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:54,400
Speaker 3: I think we all like have known somebody in our

70
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:57,720
Speaker 3: life that people are like this person's great, we love them,

71
00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:00,640
Speaker 3: they're wonderful, but you're like, that's you don't know the

72
00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:03,400
Speaker 3: real person. Like in San Diego, people were hanging ban

73
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:08,120
Speaker 3: banners from their balcony saying free Brittany, Like, how did

74
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:09,320
Speaker 3: you feel seeing all.

75
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:09,840
Speaker 1: That go down?

76
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:15,840
Speaker 2: I mean, you know, I was worried that it would

77
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:20,560
Speaker 2: create this exact situation, right, I mean, it's it's really

78
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:25,280
Speaker 2: hard whenever somebody that actually cares, that's inside the bubble

79
00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:29,240
Speaker 2: so to speak, and is trying to help, it becomes

80
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:33,240
Speaker 2: a villain and pushed out, you know. And I mean

81
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:35,960
Speaker 2: that's the whole thing with addiction, right, Like one of

82
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:38,440
Speaker 2: the first things that you do is push away everybody

83
00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:40,719
Speaker 2: that cares about you, anybody that's going to try and

84
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:43,320
Speaker 2: get you help or or try to be the voice

85
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:44,720
Speaker 2: of reason. You don't want to hear it.

86
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:46,359
Speaker 1: Wow.

87
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:46,680
Speaker 2: Wow.

88
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:48,360
Speaker 4: So that kind of leads into what I was going

89
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:50,880
Speaker 4: to ask, is like, who's When I watch your videos,

90
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:54,080
Speaker 4: I'm looking at them, going who's there. There's got to

91
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:57,039
Speaker 4: be this giant house, She's got to have people there,

92
00:04:57,120 --> 00:04:59,640
Speaker 4: Like does she have cleaning staff? Does she have somebody

93
00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:01,800
Speaker 4: cooking her? Is does she have an assistant? Or is

94
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:04,640
Speaker 4: it just an ever revolving door? People, because nobody because

95
00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:06,880
Speaker 4: like you said, she wants to be told yes, like

96
00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:07,880
Speaker 4: does she have a team there?

97
00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:11,600
Speaker 2: Yeah? Well and that's it like the you know, I

98
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:13,720
Speaker 2: do talk about that in my book as well. Right

99
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:16,320
Speaker 2: like it's it is a revolving door. I don't know

100
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:19,160
Speaker 2: where it is right now, but I know that there's

101
00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:23,360
Speaker 2: there are people around and and you know, it's it's

102
00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:27,800
Speaker 2: tough because it's like you're on payroll, so you know,

103
00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:31,200
Speaker 2: what right do you have to step in? But it's like,

104
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:35,400
Speaker 2: I don't know. For me, it's a for the people

105
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:37,680
Speaker 2: that are around her right now, is a scary situation,

106
00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:40,520
Speaker 2: especially if you look at Matthew Perry's situation because look

107
00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:42,320
Speaker 2: at what happened to his assistant. He's in jail.

108
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:46,520
Speaker 1: Yeah wow, yeah, that's crazy. Well, Kevin, you know, obviously

109
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:49,040
Speaker 1: the most important thing in all of this is your kids.

110
00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:51,280
Speaker 1: It sounds like you're a great dad. It sounds like

111
00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:53,880
Speaker 1: you're doing everything you can to protect them and do

112
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:57,680
Speaker 1: the right thing by them. Where are they at with

113
00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:00,680
Speaker 1: a relationship with their mom? I know that they haven't

114
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:02,640
Speaker 1: seen her in a really long time, and they're not

115
00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:04,960
Speaker 1: really part of her life right now. Where are they at?

116
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:07,880
Speaker 1: Are they like wanting to get her help as well?

117
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:08,880
Speaker 1: Or where are they at?

118
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:13,080
Speaker 2: Yeah? I mean, look, you know I think that you know,

119
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:17,120
Speaker 2: everything has been tried, right, Like everything that could be

120
00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:21,960
Speaker 2: tried has been tried, and now since there's never really

121
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:27,080
Speaker 2: been any accountability, I think that the next step is

122
00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:30,760
Speaker 2: this like bringing the truth forward and hoping that it

123
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:33,599
Speaker 2: like wakes something up in her because the only person

124
00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:35,680
Speaker 2: that's going to be able to help her now is herself.

125
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:38,400
Speaker 2: Like she has to ask for help and she has

126
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:41,560
Speaker 2: to admit that she needs it. And you know, for

127
00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:44,640
Speaker 2: my kids, it's hard for them because they do want

128
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:47,040
Speaker 2: to have a relationship with their mother, and that's part

129
00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:49,880
Speaker 2: of why I'm doing what I'm doing is to try

130
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:53,279
Speaker 2: and get some get something to click, to get that

131
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:55,440
Speaker 2: back right because they do. I mean, then they do

132
00:06:55,560 --> 00:07:03,039
Speaker 2: talk and they have a community medication, but not the

133
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:08,000
Speaker 2: relationship that they deserve, right, Like every kid wants to

134
00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:10,920
Speaker 2: have their mother there, wants to have that relationship with

135
00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:15,120
Speaker 2: their mom. And it's really hard for me because I

136
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:17,840
Speaker 2: have such a great relationship with my mother and my

137
00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:23,120
Speaker 2: family has been so incredible in raising us and it's

138
00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:25,320
Speaker 2: part of who I am and the reason why I

139
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:27,920
Speaker 2: am the way I am is so much because of

140
00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:30,400
Speaker 2: my family. I talk about this in my book as well,

141
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:33,760
Speaker 2: right like that, I had a great foundation and for

142
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:35,880
Speaker 2: me to watch my kids go through what they've had

143
00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:39,040
Speaker 2: to go through and know that they're, you know, screaming

144
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:41,600
Speaker 2: for that relationship with their mom. I mean that's been

145
00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:43,520
Speaker 2: the really difficult part of all this.

146
00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:48,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, no doubt about it. And the book sounds wildly fascinating,

147
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:50,800
Speaker 1: you know, real look into what's been going on with

148
00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:53,880
