Kevin Federline Faces Celebrity Mockery Over Britney Spears Divorce in Memoir

Kevin Federline has released a memoir, You Thought You Knew, in which he discusses the public ridicule and harsh criticism he faced during and after his divorce from Britney Spears. He expresses feeling hurt particularly by celebrities such as Rosie O'Donnell and Jimmy Kimmel, who publicly mocked him despite not knowing him personally. Federline highlights how O'Donnell celebrated Spears' divorce on The View with confetti and how Kimmel joked about Federline's rap career at the American Music Awards. He describes the experience as feeling like a caricature and being stuck in a public spectacle akin to a Jerry Springer episode. Federline defends himself against accusations of trying to profit off Spears and frames his memoir as a plea for understanding and recognition of his side of their story. His interview on ITV's This Morning sparked backlash from viewers who accused him of exploiting Spears' vulnerability for personal gain.
