K-Fed's Publicist Quit

Kevin Federline

Apparently we're not the only ones sick of the Spears vs. Federline battle. Kevin Federline's publicist Michael Sands no longer represents K-Fed and his lawyer Mark Vincent Kaplan because he thinks they've gone too far in the custody battle.

He explains, "This is overkill, it made my stomach turn. Every time we had to go into court, yes we have to protect the kids. But every mother, healthy or unhealthy should see their kids... You can't blame someone for mental illness.

"Mark Vincent Kaplan needs to lay off. Everyone has to lay off before Britney dies accidentally."

Sands also thinks that K-Fed should stop hiding behind his gangsta lawyer and speak up about his ex's health condition. He tells Life & Style magazine, "Kevin Federline needs to get on TV and say, 'I'm learning about Britney's bipolar disorder.' "He needs to step up to the plate and not hide behind the shield of his lawyer and be a man. He could become a hero instead of hiding... He's got to step up and help Britney."

Well said! I think they should allow Britney to see her kids as long as her parents and K-Fed are all there. She may have an illness, but at the end of the day she's still a mother and a mother needs to see her children.

give me a break!!! kevin shouldn't do shit other than what he's doing which is taking care of his kids. he is not married to britney. her parents are the ones who should be taking care of her. that's why daddy is the conservator, not her ex. if she is taking her meds and not having manic episodes then yes she should see the kids with her parents and a bodyguard in the room with her. but if this chick is still wigging out every other hour, then no.

Hello...Sands did NOT quit...he was FIRED by Kaplan. Right now, he is working with Lutfi as his spokesman and is trying to cause more friction among this family. Lufti said he would destroy the Spears family in print and in interviews and that's exactly what he is trying to do. Now, they are coming after Kevin...he's doing what he is supposed to do.Kevin is not the bad guy in this. Kaplan has already stated that Kevin wants to do whatever needs be to help Britney get some sense of normalcy in her life so her visitation rights with the kids will be restored.Child Protective services are involved in all of this too people.They do not deem the children to be safe in her care. It is totally irresponsible for this Sands creep to say "Kevin needs to step up to the plate" blah blah blah...

I agree with both comments. Let Kevin take care of his kids and let Jamie and Lynn take care of theirs. The last thing Kevin needs to start doing is giving public service announcements about Britney.

Kevin would be in the gutter if it was not for Britney. Kevin has not had to work for nothing in the last 4 years. Yes he should do something besides sitting in the big house playing ping pong and smoking blunts all day. Yes they have taken this way to far, you all must remember what Kevin was doing for the first 2 years and was not even around the children until his money got cut off. If the money was not there neither would Kevin. He is a loser taking advantage of a mental illnes to get more money. If any of you honestly think he is in this for the kids, you need a reality check!

Well I agree with Michael Sands. I think Kevin needs to speak up and be a man abt Britney's illness. Everyone thinks Kevin is the good guy cause he's not in the spotlight and seems to be laying low. Did anyone think it could be an act? I mean, it wasn't like he was father of year to Shar's babies. Now all of sudden, he's cleaned up his act. Could be the money too. As long as he has those kids, he gets child support money which is over $50K a month. I would be on my best behavior too. I also agree that mothers should be allowed to see their kids. This may be exactly what Britney needs to get better. I'm sure it couldn't hurt as long as she has the right supervision with her. We need to ease up on this girl before she turns out like Anna Nicole Smith. And so what she has money. Obviously money is not everything. Anna had money, Heath had money and look where they are now....Ease up people.

Britney's life went downhill when Kevin started doing all that partying in Vegas. Then there were reports abt him cheating. She was left with the kids, and he was out having a good ass time. Then they divorce and her life went even further down hill. Poor girl, just can't seem to get it together.

DTE..You're right, Kevin was in the gutter. And Britney should have left his ass there. But she didn't, she went and had 2 kids with him. So stop harping on how much a loser you think he is, it's too late now, can't change the past. He's in the picture for the next 17 yrs. You AND Britney both are just gonna have to deal.

She specializes in losers: Kevin, Sam, Adnan, Howie Day, some guys we don't know about. Kevin is just part of a long list. I hope her bi polar therapy includes making better decisions about friends and boyfriends.

Kevin is not responsible for Britney, her parents are. He does not need to make public announcements about Britney's mental health. He does need to keep the children in a stable environment and right now the court has determined that means Britney cannot see or contact her children for the time being. Britney never behaved like a mother toward those children so quite ranting on about how every mother needs to see her children.

Maybe she didn't get the memo that one night stands usually don't turn into happy marriages. She's the one who brought this trash into her life. Besides when she had the kids she left them in the car and went chandelier shopping, so why the urgent need to see them now?

DTE, what do you mean he wasn't even around the children? how do you know? yeah, he did take advantage of brit when they were married, but so what? that's between he and brit, that has nothing to do with the kids. what is your obsession w/ kevin being worthless? tasha was totally right, he's in the picture for the next 17 years, DEAL WITH IT already. jesus, you'd think YOU were the one that was scorned by him from the way you bash him all the time. he's the one taking care of his boys 24/7 now, so who's the better parent?

I want to follow up with what loo loo and Tasha posted. Kevin is a worthless loser. I agree. Has she learned from that? Nooooo!!!!! She hooks up with sleaze like Sam and Adnan AFTER Kevin. If you lay down with dogs you get fleas. She has laid down with plenty of dogs and has plenty of fleas. Like Tasha and loo loo say DEAL WITH IT! Kevin is here to stay, she's stuck with him. And next time be a hell of alot more selective when choosing a husband. Try DATING him first before LAYING down with him.

After reading that blog it seems like his publist wants people to believe he quit, but I find it strange that he would want K-Fed to talk about Britney's bipolar disorder. Like what the fuck makes K-Fed an expert on the topic. It's not K-Fed's place to be the one to talk about Britney and what she's going through, because honestly I don't think he has a fucken clue what she's going through. If he did he would be doing the right thing and back the fuck up off of her in till she can get the proper care that is required and needed.

It's sad she mentally ill, but she makes such astoundingly boneheaded choices and learns nothing. Nothing at all. A lot of this turmoil she brought on herself. I hope she stops acting so stubborn and let her dad help her. She needs to grow up and realize actions have consequences. Even for a rich former pop princess. Kevin should continue keeping a low profile and let her dad run this show.

La chat is right. If something needs to be said publicly about Britney her daddy can say it. Sally sue, Britney knew all this before the wedding and she still married him. Stevie Wonder could have seen what that cat was about.

I feel so bad for these 2 young babies Britney or KFED both couldn't take care of themselves let along 2 babies and neither one should have custody. I would love to see child service investigate KFED 's parental skills I wonder how much second hand smoke and weed that the kids are getting from this loser??

Down to Earth, Britney should have considered his "loser qualities" that were staring her in the face before she walked down the aisle and had his kids. Being perpetually unemployed and walking out on a pregnant girlfriend wasn't a big enough clue? Well like Tasha said too damn late to have figured that out now. Whether she likes it or not, he's a part of her life. She put herself in this box.

Smiller ,I feel for the kids too. But I believe they have more of a chance of a normal life with Kevin than with her. She is way too screwed up right now.

I been reading an hear whatca saying about Kevin not having nothing before he met nitwitbrit. But the facts are like it or not it was a judge that heard an saw enough evidence to conclude that he is the better parent; the judge could have decided to put the kids w/ the state if niether qualified.Besides I think even with others present nitwitbrit would only upset the kid's, in her present state of mind.

I agree with Tasha. Kfed doesn't have to say or do anything for Britney-that's her parents problems. He has shown maturity and taken full responsibility for his kids. You don't see him out clubin or don't anything that could harm the kids like you did when Britney had them. Yes she has a problem--she has several problems including drugs. But lets get one thing straight, just because she could be bipolar doesn't mean she is insane and doesn't know what she is doing. If she can still drive her self to these hotels and to get her starbucks and dance studios and see her papzo boyfriends of hers, she should be able to see that she needs to get well for her kids. But she isn't because she is still stuck in her selfish mode. I know people with bipolarism and trust me it isn't controlling their lives because they make sure they take their meds. So until Brit can stay away from the drugs and take her meds daily and for a long period of time, she shouldn't be around the kids because what if she pops off and kills them because people thought she was on her meds but she wasn't. This isn't a story book in which you can write a perfect ending to. Instead you have to take your time and make sure all is right before throwing the kids back into the mix or you'll have on set of fucked up kids to deal with later on in life.

K-fed doesn't need to be the spokesperson for bi-polar, however, he could pull his pitt bull lawyer off of her. Give the chic a chance to catch her breath, get medicated, get professional help. I think alot of it does come down to money for K-fed, let's face it he didn't work while he was with her and I'm sure his motivation hasn't increased much since he's now with the kids all the time. He's a freeloader and always will be. At first Britney was his meal ticket and now those kids are his meal ticket. He fell into shit when he met and married her. WHether he does it privately or publicly he should show some support for his ex. Only because she's the mother of his children. It seems like her sick state of mind gives him more leverage... does this man have no shame.

Why would Britney think Kevin is a loser? She's the one who lost custody of her children. That's a loser to me.

FUCK THAT BITCH!!!! SHE started going crazy after she FUCKED AROUND on Justin. SHE had a fucking quickie wedding in Vegas to show retard and after that got squashed by her PEOPLE (NOT HER), SHE went after Kevin. It's not a secret that SHE asked him to marry her. SHE IS NUTS, SHE NEEDS TO GET HELP, SHE NEEDS TO STOP DOING SHIT IN PUBLIC...he needs to worry about the KIDS and NOTHING ELSE.

Sam came into the picture when K-Fed needed someone to make Britney look like she was unfit. Yes she did shave her head in Feb 2007 when K-Fed told her his pot smoke would show up in her hair. But the real work of driving Brit nuts or at least making it look that way began Oct. 2007 when Sam arrived in her life.........cutting phone lines and hiding phone chargers while her lawyer was saying to the court back then that there was a phone problem.....medicating her without her knowledge......looks like he did that prior to the VMA's too......hiding her little dog so she would cry and he could be the savior.......Wake up people K-Fed is in this up to his eye balls and Sands is just playing the next role here. They have to continue to pretend that K-Fed is the good guy coz before long Jamie Spears will figure it all out and then Sam and K-Fed and maybe even Alli and Shar will be going to jail for abuse of the mentally ill or drugging a person without their consent in an effor to steal her money and kids. Lying to the court could also put K-Fed in jail.

OH LaChat.....are you a child? K-Fed was only with the kids if Britney was there and ask your Mommy if she ever "almost" dropped you? If she is honest she will tell you that all parents have at one time or another "almost" tripped or slipped while carrying their baby. The amazing thing is that with all the camaras around her daily...there is only one picture on one day of Brit "almost" tripping with the child in her arms. We never saw that with K-Fed coz we rarely saw him carry either kid.

La Chat
Why is that some sort of sick fetish for you Jodi? By the way Brit did not trip Jodi get your 411 straight she clearly lost grip of the kid and almost dropped him on to the hard cement ground so stop trying to make miss pop princess diva crackhead come off as though she did not do anything wrong. Like she perfect and her shit don't stink. She almost majorly fucked up and if her body guard was not there she would of. So cut the crap!!! BUT YOU HAVE SEEN HIM HOLDING HIS KIDS and therefore you in fact disproved DTE's Claime so THANK YOU for proving that me and Tasha are right once again.

I love these Brit apologists. She is not to blame for the sorry mess her life has become. Everything is Kevin's, Larry's, Sam's, her parent's, Adnan's, Jamie Lynn's, Alli's fault. Never hers. Because she makes such wise and educated decisions. Next thing we'll hear is how London's to blame or maybe Sean Preston.

Why did she lose the children in the first place? Back when she still had joint custody, the judge ruled she could not drive the kids w/o a California license. What does she do 2 or 3 days later? That's when he took the kids the first time. It's boneheaded decisions like that on her part that have contributed to her situation today. I'm with La chat and Tasha. She needs to sit down and do a brutal evaluation o
