Britney Spears responded to her 15-year-old son Jayden’s comments, saying he wouldn’t get anything from her in two years.
In an interview for ITV News, Jayden revealed that he and his brother, Preston, had decided not to go to Britney’s wedding because they didn’t feel comfortable and didn’t see how it would have “ended on good terms.”
“She didn’t invite the whole family and then if it was just going to be me and Preston, I just don’t see how that situation would have ended on good terms,” he said.
The comments came after their father and the singer’s former partner, Kevin Federline, publicly discussed their children’s decision not to attend Britney’s marriage ceremony to Sam Asghari in June.
“The boys have decided they are not seeing her right now. It’s been a few months since they’ve seen her. They made the decision not to go to her wedding,” he added.
Kevin also suggested that Britney’s father, Jamie Spears, had saved her life despite her accusations that he was abusive.
The pop star split from Kevin in 2007, a year before the controversial 13-year conservatorship went into effect. Since then, the pair have shared custody of Jayden and Preston, with Britney providing the DJ $40,000 a month in child support and paying for the children’s school fees, clothing, and insurance.
During the interview, Jayden declared that he hoped his mom would “get better mentally” to see her again.
Speaking about his grandfather Jamie, the 15-year-old boy also said he “doesn’t deserve all the hatred he is getting in the media. I love him, with all my heart. He was just trying to be a father.”
Shortly after the revealing interview, Britney shared a lengthy message on Instagram, asking her children to speak with her face to face.
“It deeply saddens me to know his outcry of saying I wasn’t up to his expectations of a mother. If you could pause for a second, remember where you came from!!! I hope you can look in the mirror and remember… You are my child and always will be!!!” she wrote.
The singer also criticized her ex-partner, saying he hadn’t had a job in 15 years and smoked weed every day.
Britney then shared a two-minute recording saying: “So, Jayden, as you undermine my behavior just like my whole family always has with, ‘I hope she gets better, I will pray for her. Pray for what? I keep working so I can pay off mom’s legal fees and her house? Do you guys want me to continue to get better so I can continue giving your dad 40 grand a month?”
The singer also suggested that Jayden, who recently turned 16, would no longer get anything from her when he turned 18.
“Or is the reason you guys have decided to be hateful is that it’s actually over in two years and you don’t get anything?” she questioned.
