Fans of Britney Spears criticized her ex-husband Kevin Federline following his announcement about writing a tell-all book on the pop icon titled You Thought You Knew.
Federline, 47, upset the devoted followers of the Grammy-winning artist, 43, by stating in a press release that his book would disclose ‘extremely intimate and transparent’ details about their past relationship.
Regarding his forthcoming book, Federline commented, ‘I achieved my biggest dreams, faced significant heartbreak, and endured constant ridicule, all while becoming the father my children needed as they experienced consistent emotional upheaval.’
Federline, who was wed to Britney from 2004 thru 2007, added that ‘if you’ve ever had questions, you’ll find answers here.’
However, supporters of the …Baby One More Time singer – who shares her sons Sean Preston, 19, and Jayden, 18, with Federline – showed little interest in the book, set for release on October 21.
Daily Mail has reached out to Federline via Instagram for comment on the backlash to the release of the forthcoming book.

Fans of Spears took exception with Federline for rehashing his past with the Womanizer artist in what they felt was a blatant cash grab.
‘So, nobody would purchase his story, so he assumes people want to hear him narrate his notes app life story?’ questioned one individual, while another remarked, ‘Wow, he REALLY needs money!’
One user on X referenced another of the Lucky singer’s famous exes in slamming Federline.
‘Instead of writing fanfiction novels he should go back and tour with Justin Timberlake so they can both cry endless rivers,’ the user said. ‘It’s tiring.’
Besides his sons with the Oops!… I Did It Again singer, Federline is also the father of daughter Kori, 23, and son Kaleb, 21, with actress Shar Jackson, 48.
He is also father to daughters Jordan, 13, and Peyton, nine, with his wife, former volleyball player Victoria Prince, 42.
One X user said of Federline’s ties to show business: ‘He was a dancer, knocked up 2 celebrities, abandoned the 1st one and their kids while she was still pregnant then married the more famous one and took her kids for the child support money.’

Some fans expressed concern Britney could be emotionally impacted for the worse with her ex-husband bringing their past dirty laundry back into the public consciousness.
‘Ah great…another person reopening her wounds and bringing more judgement her way,’ a Britney fan said.
One Britney fan referred to the 2022 book penned by her sister Jamie Lynn Spears, Things I Should Have Said.
‘Guess he didn’t see what happens when Jamie Lynn attempted to mooch off Britney w her book,’ the fan said.
