"Only one word: HURTFUL," Britney Spears said after ex-husband Kevin Federline claimed that the pair's two sons don't want to be in contact with her.

"His character is revealed by approval of the cruel 13 year CShip and his loyalty to [Jamie Spears] indicates his approval at the time of its conception as well," Asghari said, referring to the years-long conservatorship that Spears was put under by her father. "Reminder that the trauma and insults that come with fame and this business not only affect me but my children as well!!!!!," she wrote in part.

"Britney walked herself down the aisle. "Things that are now considered normal issues and behavior easily dealt with therapy or other ways were magnified to justify a 13 year prison sentence.

I'm sharing this because I can … Have a good day folks!!!" Insisting that the teens love their mother, Federline told the publication, "The boys have decided they are not seeing her right now. "As we all know, raising teenage boys is never easy for anyone. Federline also said he has had a hard time explaining Spears' decision to post nearly nude photos online to his two sons.
