1
00:00:01,320 --> 00:00:03,240
Speaker 1: And Amanda jam Nation.

2
00:00:03,440 --> 00:00:06,000
Speaker 2: Emma Gillespie is the editor of The Daily OS and

3
00:00:06,080 --> 00:00:07,200
Speaker 2: she joins us now.

4
00:00:07,360 --> 00:00:11,360
Speaker 3: Well, Hello, Britney Spears back in the news because her

5
00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:14,000
Speaker 3: ex Kevin Federline remember him.

6
00:00:14,440 --> 00:00:16,239
Speaker 1: He has released a new memoir.

7
00:00:16,360 --> 00:00:20,320
Speaker 3: It's titled You Thought You Knew, and it basically goes

8
00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:24,239
Speaker 3: into great detail about his short lived marriage to Britney Spears.

9
00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:27,040
Speaker 1: They were only married for about two and a bit years.

10
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:29,120
Speaker 4: But obviously they had two kids together.

11
00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:31,640
Speaker 3: They had two kids together, and obviously that relationship has

12
00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:35,199
Speaker 3: left its mark on his entire life. And he has

13
00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:39,519
Speaker 3: dropped some very big claims about Brittany and her behavior

14
00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:41,600
Speaker 3: as a mother. I guess it's kind of in response

15
00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:44,280
Speaker 3: to Britney's book, which came out two years ago, almost

16
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:47,400
Speaker 3: to the day. He claims that she used cocaine while

17
00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:50,960
Speaker 3: breastfeeding the kids, that she had all these episodes in

18
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:54,680
Speaker 3: the house, kind of mental breakdowns that he describes where

19
00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:57,440
Speaker 3: she would stand by the children's bed holding a knife.

20
00:00:57,440 --> 00:01:00,080
Speaker 1: They were scared. A very kind.

21
00:00:59,880 --> 00:01:04,760
Speaker 3: Of disruptive, terrifying picture that he paints of their home life.

22
00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:07,400
Speaker 3: But he says that he's waited all of this time

23
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:09,640
Speaker 3: to make any comment about it because he wanted the

24
00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:12,720
Speaker 3: kids to grow up, but that he's still really concerned

25
00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:16,000
Speaker 3: about her welfare. The two kids that they have together

26
00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:19,760
Speaker 3: barely have a relationship with Brittany. They're nineteen and I

27
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:23,080
Speaker 3: think twenty one now, so all grown up, but still

28
00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:24,959
Speaker 3: you know, at a kind of vulnerable age.

29
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:28,320
Speaker 1: I guess. He says that one of them hasn't seen

30
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:29,880
Speaker 1: her much at all in years.

31
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:32,240
Speaker 3: One the younger one was visiting her a fair bit,

32
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:34,600
Speaker 3: but hasn't spoken to her in a few months now.

33
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:37,119
Speaker 1: But the timing of the.

34
00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:40,560
Speaker 3: Book, I guess, you know, people are questioning is this

35
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:41,560
Speaker 3: a cash grab?

36
00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:43,280
Speaker 1: He really insists it's not.

37
00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:47,000
Speaker 3: Britney Spears has pushed back against all of the claims.

38
00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:51,800
Speaker 3: She describes the book as gas lighting, extremely hurtful and exhausting.

39
00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:55,320
Speaker 3: But I guess for Kevin Federlin, it's all about his

40
00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:58,480
Speaker 3: kid's safety. So he says, I don't know, do he

41
00:01:58,560 --> 00:01:59,880
Speaker 3: wy it?

42
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:02,920
Speaker 4: Well? Him writing the book isn't about their safety. That's

43
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:04,720
Speaker 4: what you do privately if you want to protect them.

44
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:05,480
Speaker 1: Well, exactly.

45
00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:08,079
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's hard to know if you see someone who

46
00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:10,240
Speaker 4: is suffering. A lot of people watch Britney's stuff on

47
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:12,320
Speaker 4: social media and think is they're grown up in the room.

48
00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:14,440
Speaker 4: Who is helping her? But is the person who's going

49
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:16,000
Speaker 4: to help her Kevin Federlit I don't know.

50
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:17,920
Speaker 3: Well exactly, and he says they have nothing to do

51
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:20,360
Speaker 3: with each other, that they've not spoken in several years.

52
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:22,640
Speaker 3: He didn't run any of the book or the claims

53
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:25,440
Speaker 3: by her before publishing it. But then on the other hand,

54
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:27,560
Speaker 3: he does say exactly what you've said, Amanda, like no

55
00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:30,400
Speaker 3: one is looking after her, who is taking care of her?

56
00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:32,720
Speaker 3: And her sons are really scared something bad is going

57
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:34,800
Speaker 3: to happen to her. We saw her she went to

58
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:37,440
Speaker 3: a restaurant the day the book came out last week.

59
00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:41,080
Speaker 3: There was some video circulating online of her kind of

60
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:44,160
Speaker 3: stumbling a little bit in the restaurant. She smashed her glass,

61
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:47,080
Speaker 3: and then the paparazzi tailed her home for half an

62
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:49,880
Speaker 3: hour and she was sort of swerving between lanes. It

63
00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:52,520
Speaker 3: did look pretty scary, But at the same time, we've

64
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:55,240
Speaker 3: got to remember the kind of paparazzi interests that's always

65
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:55,720
Speaker 3: followed her.

66
00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:58,080
Speaker 4: Yes, and he's just increased that first.

67
00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:00,040
Speaker 1: Well exactly now that the microscope is back.

68
00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:01,600
Speaker 4: On, who is looking after her?

69
00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:04,480
Speaker 3: Well, we're not really sure to be honest, she doesn't

70
00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:07,799
Speaker 3: have much access to her kids. Her security team has

71
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:10,240
Speaker 3: changed a few times, it's not super clear.

72
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:11,359
Speaker 1: The clips that she.

73
00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:15,320
Speaker 3: Does post online are disturbing. It doesn't seem like she's

74
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:18,280
Speaker 3: in a great place. Who knows, but I think she's

75
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:20,799
Speaker 3: had a lifetime of people taking advantage of her, which

76
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:24,119
Speaker 3: really speaks to the Conservatorship that big push to get her,

77
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:26,600
Speaker 3: you know, the Free Britney movement. Let's get her out

78
00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:29,000
Speaker 3: of the Conservativeship and give her her independence and her

79
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:31,360
Speaker 3: access to her money and stop having people like her

80
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:35,440
Speaker 3: father control her. But Kevin Federline is questioning whether that

81
00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:37,320
Speaker 3: should have ever happened.

82
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:39,680
Speaker 1: He should have ever ended, exactly whether it should have

83
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:40,200
Speaker 1: ever ended.

84
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:42,520
Speaker 3: So he did an interview with e T where he

85
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:46,640
Speaker 3: spoke about specifically the Conservatorship and its role in her life.

86
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:48,840
Speaker 1: Here's a little bit of what he said.

87
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:53,440
Speaker 2: Everything that has happened with the Conservatorship right has created

88
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:57,120
Speaker 2: a situation where my sons don't know how to get

89
00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:00,600
Speaker 2: help for their mind. You know, I'm pleading with people

90
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:02,640
Speaker 2: for help. If you've ever loved this woman, or if

91
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:05,960
Speaker 2: you ever care about this situation, right, you have to

92
00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:11,320
Speaker 2: understand that this is no longer about freedom. It's about survival.

93
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:17,599
Speaker 1: Had either leave Britney alone or free Brittany. What about

94
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:20,120
Speaker 1: it for Brittany to do it right?

95
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:23,040
Speaker 3: He says, she's so worried about the situation, racing towards

96
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:24,039
Speaker 3: something irreversible.

97
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:26,599
Speaker 1: But is this and what's something?

98
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 4: If something terrible happens, everyone will say who was looking

99
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:32,200
Speaker 4: after her? What did everyone look away?

100
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:34,440
Speaker 3: And he's living in Hawaii now, he's been there for

101
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:37,000
Speaker 3: a few years. He's not someone showing up for her

102
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:39,680
Speaker 3: right now in this part of her life. So I

103
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:42,000
Speaker 3: don't know very concerning. I'm sure the book is going

104
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:44,440
Speaker 3: to sell like hotcakes. People will always be interested in

105
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 3: these stories. Fed doesn't eat those hotcakes because they had

106
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:56,080
Speaker 3: put on a bit of condition. He's looking not as welfare.

107
00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:03,440
Speaker 1: Thank you. Intang MGSP from The Daily Os
