Britney Spears responded to excerpts from her ex-husband Kevin Federline’s upcoming memoir, saying he is "gaslighting" her after he wrote that he is concerned about what he called the pop star’s erratic actions since she was released from her conservatorship in 2021.

Federline wrote in his upcoming memoir, “You Thought You Knew,” that he has learned chiefly of his ex-wife’s behavior from their two sons, according to excerpts published in The New York Times on Oct. 14. NBC News has not independently verified the quotes from the book.

"The constant gaslighting from ex-husband is extremely hurtful and exhausting," Spears wrote on X Wednesday night. "I have always pleaded and screamed to have a life with my boys."

She said she only chose to speak out "because I have had enough and any real woman would do the same."

A representative for Spears first addressed Federline’s comments in a statement to NBC News on Oct. 15.
