Britney Spears is reportedly braving through one of her most arduous trials yet. A recent report from RadarOnline.com reveals that the pop icon has been emotionally battered after her ex-husband Kevin Federline "shredded her to pieces" in his memoir, released on October 21st, 2025. "Kevin's book is but the latest in a long line of setbacks and disasters she has bravely faced," a source shares. The insider further emphasizes, "But the growing concern is that this could push her into a very dark place."

In addition to this, Federline's memoir, titled "You Thought You Knew," is described as an unrelenting takedown of the Grammy winner, revisiting their tumultuous three-year marriage. The insider also claims that the relentless criticism has taken a toll on Spears' mental state, leaving those close to her, including her ex-flame Justin Timberlake, increasingly alarmed about her emotional well-being.
"There are genuine worries building that Britney is feeling overwhelmed and hopeless," the source adds, noting that those in her circle are urging her to seek support and grounding as she navigates the fallout. For those who may not be familiar, Federline is the father of Britney's two sons, Sean Preston, 20, and Jayden James, 19.
