Talking to Daily Mail, her ex-husband, Kevin Federline, revealed he thinks Britney is on meth:
I fear she's on meth – I've been praying someone would make it public and that she wakes up

It's terrifying. She is the mother of my boys.
I don't want the boys to wake up one morning and find their mother has taken an overdose.
Daily Mail also reports that Britney’s sons, Preston, 17, and Jayden, 16, have refused to visit their mother after they claimed they’ve seen drugs being delivered to her house.
Britney Spears hits back at the drug rumours
On June 11, 2023, Britney Spears took to Instagram to share a statement concerning her ex-husband’s concerns.
She has expressed that her family’s claims are ‘not true’ and that it ‘doesn’t make any sense’ to her.
The fact that people are claiming things that are not true is so sad. This may not even be them saying such things because it doesn't make any sense to me for them to be saying that.

With Preston saying 'she needs to listen to us before it's too late' ... Do you remember every visit you came to my home, you went into your room and locked the door?
I never saw you guys
