Kevin Federline Fights Back
That's it! Kevin Federline has had enough of all the press Britney Spears is getting and People took advantage of the situation to snag an exclusive interview. We've all heard what Britney's had to say about Kevin.
Blaiming him for the end of their marriage:
"He started to do an album for himself and he started to do things for
himself, and I just never saw him anymore. When it ended I felt so
alone. I didn’t really wanna think about the reality of it. I never
faced it. I just ran."
On marrying for the wrong reason:
"I think I married for the wrong reasons. Instead of following my heart
and doing what made me really happy, I just did it for the sake of the
idea of everything."
Well, now Kevin is getting a turn with the mic! Check out what the ex-rapper had to say about the way Britney filed for divorce.
Do you remember when you first met Britney?
I met her at a
club in Hollywood, Joseph's. Our eyes met and that was it. We just hit
it off right away. I learned real fast how much of a whirlwind the
press and everything was.
What are your happiest memories of the marriage?
Well,
getting married. I never thought that I would get married but it wound
up happening. That was a really, really, happy, exciting moment. I
pretty much realized that I was giving my life to her, and I was doing
it without question.
What went wrong?
It's hard enough to be in a
marriage, and then have a kid, then kids, it changes everything. For
me, I'd become more concerned with my children. Not that I ignored
Britney, but my kids are always most important ... I mean, we were
having complications. I didn't give her an ultimatum, but I was trying
to work stuff out with her, and she didn't even talk to me or anything
and went behind my back and filed [for divorce]. [I was] completely
blindsided.
A lot of people assumed you fought for custody of the kids because of money.

My first question to [my lawyer] was, "Am I ever going to be able to
see my children?" I told him that I would spend every last dime that I
had to make sure that my children are okay. That's all that mattered. I
didn't know how much power Britney had. That really scared me.
How did you react in January when Britney locked herself
in the bathroom with Jayden and was later taken to the hospital on a
gurney?
That whole night is a blur. You want to talk about one
of my lowest points of depression, that was probably one of them. I was
very, very worried for her 'cause I care about her. That's the mother
of my children. Just because I'm not in love with her doesn't mean that
I don't love her. I'm definitely rooting for her. There's nothing more
that I want than for her to be in the best health and doing what she
loves to do.
Are things getting better?
Oh, man, it's totally
turning around. It works out that [the kids] get to see her. There's
structure over there, there's structure at my house. We're trying to
keep the same type of schedule. It doesn't have to be completely
perfect, but the foundation is there.

I have to say I really think Kev sounds like the sane one in this situation. He is ofcourse a bit of a lowlife, leaving his pregnant girlfriend for another woman, but I do think his kids are his number one priority and he takes care of them well. Britney doesn't seem to genuinly want to take responsibilty for them. She still doesn't. That's why this whole comeback bothers me. She should be focussing on her kids, not her career. It shocked me that in the documentary she says she's bored. Bored??? With two kids?? I found that quite disturbing.
Thank you, could not have said it better myself. It seems everyone is with the "poor Britney" bandwagon; but are not seeing it for what it really is. I too think is just a little off for her to be focusing on a tour right now. She is obviously in some sort of emotional pain. Is a great thing her father is there for now. I really think she needs to concentrate on Britney Spears the human, the woman...not the entertainer. Then she needs to be a mother to those boys. It just bothers me a little to see her concentrate on touring now, I guess she feels pressure to get out there for her fans, record company, managers ets. If Kevin is truly genuine with his kids, maybe we will never see them on the tabloids with a drug problem, going to rehab.
she is focusing on her career and being a mother. since when can't a person do both. her kids will be going with her to some of the states and i think it will be fun for them. no, everybody doesn't want to jump on 'the poor britney' bandwagon; people see a trouble young woman trying to get her life and self together for her kids. nothing is wrong with that. a lot of people are really rooting for her. i personally know a woman who have gone through something like this. she was a druggie who turned her life completely around. it wasn't an overnight process; it is something that takes time.
i agree, mothers can do both, HAVE to do both if they feel the need and if it's what make them happy.
plus, her ability to earn money again is important to the court since she's the only one financial support for the family (and so much more than just her family - probably k-fed others kids too - but that's another story). if she's handling the kids and her career good that could help her case the day she ask for custody and not just visitations.
and poor little kori and kaleb. even if their father is caring for them (which i don't know but i hope) they're still the others kids coming to visit him once in a while and no even invited for a family photo. all eyes on jayden and preston, i hope they won't feel bitter while growing up.
What about his kids with his ex? You never see him with them... Brit got $$ that is why he put his kids with her 'his priority'. Hes all about the $$...Poor brit on this one!!

I think they're BOTH nuts. And I completely understand how you can have two kids and still be bored. See, everyone forgets how he left her at home with the kids and was out partying with his posse in Vegas constantly. He's not perfect, either. I think she needs to work as part of her recovery. She's taking care of her kids, in small doses. Baby steps, people, baby steps. Becoming a parent doesn't make you perfect. They don't come with an instruction manual. Neither does mental illness.
...It's hard enough to be in a marriage, and then have a kid, then kids...
Didn't he have kids before with some other woman? What about them?
Not a big Kevin fan, but the guy sounds like he has grown up a lot. He never had to be the "parent" before. Shar had her act together and was being a good Mom. Kevin assumed that Britney was going to be the same way, when it didn't turn out that way he stepped up for his boys.
You're right, he saw that Shar Jackson is a good parent to his other kids. He saw that Britney was having some issues and he step up and took the boys. At least he is there for them; Britney, I don't think at least for now, can be or wants to be a full time mom. Sshe does loves her kids, but some people can't be parents to their kids.

I'm not buying his BS. He has other kids, what happened to them when he left his pregnant GF to be with Britney? He wanted the money and he wanted to use her celebrity status to try and launch himself. He just hit the jackpot when she ended up having huge issues. You rarely see the kids with him, body guards and nannies while he parties in Vegas. He may have grown up some but he's still a slime ball.
Well.. To be honest I think that Kevin Federline is a complete loseerr!! He is only doing this interview to get the press and the courts away from seeing Britney in a different light after all these years!
Britney was telling the truth when she said that he was doing his label and that she never saw him! In the beginning of their marriage Kevin was NEVER in the tabloids with the children, it was all ALWAYS britney. He didnt care. He still doesn't care... I think that Britney has a lot of catching up to do, her record just came out and it is amazing! She loves to tour and dance ! SO DO IT! She deserves a nice long tour, she hasn't toured in sooo long!! Her children are going to come along with her to some/many states with her and her father! They would have a great time, seeing different places, hanging out with grampa and mom after work. This is what people do to stay a POP PRINCESS. Britney is the Queen of POP and she does a damn good job!!! EVEN w/ith two kids~! I LOVE HER I LOVE HER MUSIC!
One day when her kids are old enough to understand how this shit works they will totally forgive their mother and be proud of her for all the acomplishments she did for herself and for them! Britney will always be JJ and SP number one priority and number one girl!

Nobody criticized him when he was still married to Britney, left her home alone and went partying in Vegas and elsewhere almost on a nightly basis. If he is so right and so good, why does he have to strike back while her album is out and while she is having a better time. Just to show that even now, he is still using Britney's momentum to get attention. And for those who say he is such a good parent, how come he left his pregnant girlfriend to marry someone else????????????
And for those who say Britney cannot be a mom for her kids, really?????? She was sick and lost and who are we to judge. I am sure she loves her kids and that she is trying her best with them. The proof is she has more custody now than before. She even took the boys to NY, before she couldn't even spend one night with the boys. That's improvement.
I've heard this guy talk in interviews before and he does NOT speak the way that interview is worded! FAKE FAKE FAKE. I think someone put those words in his mouth... probably his lawyer. Give me a break, K Fed. He is selfish and used that girl until she was a broken shell of her former self. She had everything until he came into her life. And now he's playing this "I'm such a good guy" angle? B.S.! Good for you that you care for your kids, Kevin, but you're a crappy husband/boyfriend/life partner and you always will be. Now stop going after your ex wife's money you gold digger!!!!!
why won't people stop putting their children on the covers of magazines to get money? did they ask him about his other kids...i mean, the ones he left for his cash cow? did they ask him how will he support himself once his money machines turns 18? this guy just seems so foul to me and nothing he-or anbody else-can say that will change that. there was always pictures on tmz of him partying night after night when he was married to her. he saw an opportunity to live well and he took it. britney had a breakdown like i have never seen before and it's because she let people like this in her life; people who wanted to do nothing but get rich and famous off of her. she is not going to get better over night. which some people on this site obviously think is possible. she is taking it day by day and that's really all anybody in her situation can do. she can still be a mom and work. millions of mothers do it ever single day.

I blame the whole situation on Kevin. At lease britney admitted she married for the WRONG reasons....
The fact that he does this interview NOW, when things are picking up for britney... well that says a lot abou the jackass.

Exactly. Why now is he coming out and doing interviews? This guy is slim and all about money. A person can truely make their life difficult by having babies by the wrong person. I can't even imagine having to deal with it.

I just don't know why people can't just focus on the positive side. Britney has gotten way better. Remember a few months back? She couldn't even spend a night with her kids. Now she has more custody. Why can't people give her credit for her effort. When she did the documentary, most of you said it was all an act to make us feel sorry for her but when KFed does this cover, you all believe him???????? Why now??? Why does he do this now that a lot of positive things are happening for her? I just read on another site that her cousin who was axed (Ally or something) just had something to tell In Touch magazine about how Britney is rushed and all. He had 2 years to tell his side of the story but he chooses a crucial moment in his ex-wife's life to do it. Idk what y'all think but he cares about Britney like he says he does, why does he do this now that her album is out and that her career is back on again? I guess he is the Dad of the millennium. Maybe everybody needs to hand their kids to him lol.
I have no idea what goes on in the Federline home, but I wouldn't be surprised if the boys were being raised by nannies. I doubt that Kevin is their #1 caretaker. Money will buy you the ability to have very little responsibility for your children, if you prefer. Britney annoyed me though, with her Vogue (?) interview I think it was, and that may be the reason he's chosen now to make a statement. I'm paraphrasing here, but she said she'd like to remarry some day so that the boys could have a father figure. That statement kind of bites, doesn't it? They've had more of a father figure than they have of a mother figure. And she said it was hard raising the kids alone. WHAT? You can't be serious.

Well, he certinaly sounds nice, but I'm not buying it.
I thought he was the one doing drugs around the kids, I sure sounds the other way around. Go figure!
Ok - this guy is a tool. That interview sounds so set up and fake. He's such a douchebag. Honestly. He wants to make it sound like he's always been the best person - never went out to a nightclub after he had kids. I do love how he doesn't mention his kids with Shar Jackson. I guess you could say I'm on the Britney bandwagon, but for my sake - I've never liked this guy. He's always been a loser, and he's always tried to gain his fame off of her status. Every time he opens his mouth crap spews out.
And I do agree - he probably has nannies taking care of him... because if Britney is in New York and Kevin is in Vegas, where are the kids? At home in L.A.? He's trying to make it sound like he's such an angel, a guy who's never done wrong... Maybe he's trying to convince himself he's not as big a tool as he truly is.

The kids are in NY with Britney. They attended the GMA show this am.
Interesting how he says he was all about his kids, yet he left his pregnant girlfriend and other child to be with Britney in the first place.
people please...remember Britney was the one that chose him and ask to marry him and then had children (not one but two).....who's the idiot? Britney! Britney was well aware that he had a girlfriend who was pregnant plus a child. he was a complete open book, it wasn't like he lied to her. face it he's the lesser evil of the two. I'm glad he finally fought back. Don't forget the court forbidden them to talk anything negative about each other to the public - I guess they finally gave them a green lights - so that's probably why they're finally talking.
I can understand how she feels. This guy just used her to get rich.
