Britney Spears, one of the best-selling music artists of all time and known worldwide for hits like ‘Baby One More Time’ and ‘Toxic’, has voluntarily entered a rehab facility. The news has prompted a response from her ex-husband Kevin Federline, who has broken his silence on the matter through his lawyer.People confirmed on Sunday, April 12 that he voluntarily entered a treatment facility. His decision came on March 4 when he was arrested in Ventura, California, on suspicion of driving under the influence of drugs and alcohol. He was released the next day.
What Kevin Federline said
According to TMZ, on Monday, April 13, Federline’s attorney Mark Vincent Kaplan released a statement saying that Federline, 48, is “aware of the reports that he has checked into rehab.”“He’s happy that he’s getting help and that the decision seems to be his own and not imposed by others, if that was the case,” Kaplan said. “The key is to follow and complete whatever treatment plan is recommended.”After Spears’ initial arrest in March, Kaplan also said on March 6, “Kevin hopes for the best for Britney, and if help is needed, he hopes he doesn’t confront her or those trying to work with him. The concern is whether this is more of one or the other.”Federline and Spears met and married in 2004 and filed for divorce in 2006. They share sons Sean Preston (20) and Jayden James (19).
