On Saturday, June 10, the Daily Mail released a new report that quoted Kevin Federline as saying, “I’m afraid he’s on drugs — I’ve been praying someone will go public and he wakes up,” adding that their two teenage sons “have seen drugs delivered to his home.”

We let Daphne & Bill into our home because we trusted them, but that trust was lost and we cut ties in March for many reasons we chose not to go here.”
“It is very sad that he continues to disturb our family when we have repeatedly asked him to leave us alone. As previously published, our family spoke with Ms. Barak and Mr. Gunasti several times, and this was done in a respectful manner with love & compassion for Britney and the Spears family,” Kevin continued. “His lies and attempts to exploit minors are click bait and another disgusting example of where, unfortunately, certain journalism has sunk today.”

He did so clearly and repeatedly,” a Daily Mail spokesperson said in a statement.

“I have learned separately that on several occasions, Ms. Barak attempted to contact Britney under false pretenses, again her young children, which was exploitative, harassing, and outrageous,” Rosengart continued. “Furthermore, Britney’s representatives were never contacted prior to the story’s publication, further demonstrating true malice and a reckless disregard for the truth.”
“Britney is certainly a public figure, but this behavior is out of line and completely unacceptable. It is bad even by today’s standards of ‘journalism’ and the unfair scrutiny he faces,” the letter concluded. “I will follow up separately, but for now, please confirm that the Daily Mail will immediately delete and retract the false story and defamation and conduct an internal investigation into this matter and the abuse of Britney and her children.”
