Kevin Federline Details Lead Up to Britney Spears’ Head Shaving Incide

Kevin Federline is sharing his side of the story.

Almost twenty years after Britney Spears unexpectedly shaved her head in 2007, her former husband has shared details about what led up to the event, which happened while they were getting divorced.

In his new memoir, You Thought You Knew, Kevin Federline claims Britney Spears unexpectedly left a rehab facility and arrived at his gate, where she was reportedly yelling incoherently.

I could only clearly hear her repeating, “Let me in, let me in,” the dancer—who has two sons, 20-year-old Sean and 19-year-old Jayden, with Britney Spears—explained. Then she began climbing the front gate. I stayed inside with the kids, trying to keep everyone calm, because it was heartbreaking to see her in that state.

Okay, so I’ve been following Britney FOREVER, and this new book…it’s just heartbreaking. Apparently, Kevin Federline – her ex, they were married from 2004 to 2007 – is saying that back then, security actually *stopped* Britney from seeing their kids because she wasn’t…stable enough. I mean, can you believe it? It’s just awful to think about, and it’s all coming out now in this memoir that’s dropping on October 21st. I’m just…devastated for her.

He thought he’d done the right thing. He couldn’t bear the thought of the children seeing it—they were too young to understand why their mother was behaving so strangely, and he didn’t want to frighten them.

He alleged that it was then that his ex went to a nearby hair salon.

After the stylist refused her request, Britney decided to cut her own hair, using electric clippers to shave her head. She then drove to a nearby gas station.

That’s when the situation really got out of hand – the well-known ‘umbrella incident,’ where she grabbed an umbrella and began hitting the photographers. The paparazzi were thrilled, and pictures of the moment – including her shaved head and distressed expression – quickly appeared everywhere.

Seeing those photos, the 47-year-old said it reminded him of the same energy the singer of “Womanizer” had displayed earlier while standing in front of his house in Tarzana, California.

He added, “Seeing those photos later, I thought: This is what I was dealing with.”

Meanwhile, as details from Federline’s memoir emerged, Spears’ team fired back at her ex.

Following the release of Kevin Federline’s book, a spokesperson for Britney Spears stated on October 14th that he is, once again, financially benefiting from her story, especially now that he no longer receives child support payments.

(Spears’ child support payments to Federline ended when their youngest son turned 18.)

As a lifestyle expert, I’ve been following this story closely, and it’s clear that her absolute priority is her sons, Sean Preston and Jayden James, and protecting them from all the media attention. She really opened up about everything in her memoir, *The Woman in Me*, sharing her personal experiences and what it’s been like navigating life in the public eye while raising them.

Britney Spears, who had divorced Kevin Federline in 2006 due to irreconcilable differences, had previously explained what she believed was an act of rebellion.

She shared in her 2023 memoir that she was constantly scrutinized throughout her childhood and teenage years. People frequently commented on her appearance, and she rebelled by shaving her head and acting out as a way to regain control.

After displaying increasingly unusual behavior, the 43-year-old was briefly hospitalized for psychiatric evaluation and then placed under a legal conservatorship. This arrangement, which had been in place for thirteen years under the control of Jamie Spears, was finally ended after a month of court proceedings.
