a close source revealed that the project was carefully planned and not intended as a revenge move in response to Britney Spears&#8217; own memoir nearly two years ago.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">According to the insider, the former dancer spent three to four years working on the book, which he now intends to use to tell his own &#8220;side of the story.&#8221; He is also using the opportunity to set the record straight against other false narratives about his life that have circulated in the past.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;This wasn&#8217;t an overnight thing that he threw together after Britney came out with her book,&#8221;

the insider said about Federline.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The source continued, &#8220;He wanted to write the book to shed light on what his life was really like behind the scenes because so many people thought he was a deadbeat and he wasn&#8217;t.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mb-4 text-xl font-bold md:text-2xl\">The Memoir Will Also Touch On Kevin Federline&#8217;s Romance With Britney Spears<\/h2>\n<div class=\"relative\"><img alt=\"Britney Spears at the World Premiere Of Sony Pictures' 'Once Upon a Time In Hollywood'\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"960\" height=\"1344\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"rounded-lg\" style=\"color:transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/ny\/api\/res\/1.2\/mG1WYr06bqBYiJxwjXQLdQ--\/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTk2MDtoPTEzNDQ7Y2Y9d2VicA--\/https:\/\/media.zenfs.com\/en\/theblast_73\/0e79600a38df18a53a6fdc9e0e60c602\"\/><span class=\"absolute bottom-0 right-0 rounded-full bg-white p-3 opacity-100 shadow-elevation-3 transition-opacity duration-300 group-hover:block group-hover:opacity-100 md:p-[17px] lg:bottom-6 lg:right-6 lg:bg-white\/90 lg:p-5 lg:opacity-0 lg:shadow-none\"><\/span><\/div>\n<p>MEGA<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">As many may have expected, Federline&#8217;s book will also talk about his failed marriage to Spears, including how they fell in &#8220;love at first sight&#8221; and &#8220;picking up the pieces after the tumult of their divorce.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Additionally, the book touches on the years that Spears was placed under her father, Jamie Spears&#8217; conservatorship, despite their marriage having ended at the time.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">With regards to this, the source noted Ferderline&#8217;s opinion on the legal arrangement, claiming the actor thought it was &#8220;a good thing for Britney and their family even if it was flawed in some ways.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Meanwhile, for those who would expect some pointed remarks about Spears, there allegedly aren&#8217;t any, as a second source claimed Federline &#8220;doesn&#8217;t attack Britney or get too personal about her life.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Rather, he focuses on his &#8220;decisions, feelings, and overcoming challenges&#8221; as well as his many attempts &#8220;to protect those around him while still navigating his life as best as he could.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mb-4 text-xl font-bold md:text-2xl\">Netizens Say Kevin Federline Wrote The Book Because He Is Broke<\/h2>\n<div class=\"relative\"><img alt=\"Kevin Federline's 40th Birthday Bash\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"960\" height=\"1246\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"rounded-lg\" style=\"color:transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/ny\/api\/res\/1.2\/IQFjI4GYUiTn2JM4gXceUg--\/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTk2MDtoPTEyNDY7Y2Y9d2VicA--\/https:\/\/media.zenfs.com\/en\/theblast_73\/cff33439b7b053e83ad16030aaf0dfc8\"\/><span class=\"absolute bottom-0 right-0 rounded-full bg-white p-3 opacity-100 shadow-elevation-3 transition-opacity duration-300 group-hover:block group-hover:opacity-100 md:p-[17px] lg:bottom-6 lg:right-6 lg:bg-white\/90 lg:p-5 lg:opacity-0 lg:shadow-none\"><\/span><\/div>\n<p>MEGA<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Despite Federline&#8217;s reasons for writing the book, fans of Spears have critically panned it ahead of its release, per <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/okmagazine.com\/p\/britney-spears-fans-accuse-ex-kevin-federline-needing-money-new-memoir\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:OK Magazine!;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">OK Magazine!<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Some went as far as insinuating that Federline was broke and chose to write the book to make some cash.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">One wrote, &#8220;That child support dried up realllllll quick,&#8221;
