Kevin Federline Says Britney Spears Was Drinking, on Meds While Pregnant
Kevin Federline Claims Britney Spears Was “Toxic” to Their Children
In an excerpt from his book, *You Thought You Knew*, obtained by People, Kevin Federline alleges that Britney Spears engaged in dangerous behavior while pregnant and breastfeeding. The Grammy-winning pop star is accused of drinking alcohol while on medication, a combination K-Fed describes as “dangerous” and “f’d up.”
Kevin writes, “You’re not supposed to drink when you’re on meds like that. A couple of glasses of wine for her would hit like a whole bottle because of the medication.” He also claims that he witnessed Spears drinking while breastfeeding, which he found “really upsetting because of the danger to the kids.” He added, “She could have pumped milk for Jayden so her mom had that ready.”
The former couple shares two children together, Sean Preston and Jayden James. Previously, Kevin also alleged that Spears used cocaine during the breastfeeding phase.
However, Britney Spears addressed some of these accusations in her 2023 memoir, *The Woman In Me*, stating that she “never” had a drinking problem nor had “any interest in hard drugs.”
In response to the recent claims from Kevin’s book, Britney’s representatives issued a statement on Tuesday:
“With news from Kevin’s book breaking, once again he and others are profiting off her and sadly it comes after child support has ended with Kevin. All she cares about are her kids, Sean Preston and Jayden James, and their well-being during this sensationalism. She detailed her journey in her memoir.”
The ongoing public dispute sheds light on the complexities of their co-parenting relationship and the challenges they have faced over the years.

Mitch McConnell, 83, Falls in Senate Office Hallway [WATCH]
Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), the Senate’s longest-serving party leader, fell in a hallway of a Senate office building on Thursday as he was heading to the Capitol for votes. The incident was captured on footage by a left-wing activist group, the Sunrise Movement, and reported by the New York Post.
The 83-year-old senator was seen reaching toward an aide moments before losing his balance and falling to the ground. The aide and a security guard immediately helped him back to his feet. McConnell appeared to wave to bystanders before continuing down the hallway with assistance. The video showed the fall taking place just outside his office.
McConnell has previously suffered multiple falls and health-related incidents over the past few years, which have drawn attention to his mobility issues. Earlier this year, he announced that he will not seek re-election in 2024. Since early 2023, he has dealt with a series of injuries and hospitalizations. He briefly used a wheelchair following several falls and has experienced public freezing episodes during press appearances.
A spokesperson for the senator said earlier this year that the effects of childhood polio have occasionally affected McConnell’s balance. “Senator McConnell is fine,” the spokesperson stated. “The lingering effects of polio in his left leg will not disrupt his regular schedule of work.”
McConnell’s recent health incidents include a sprained wrist and facial cuts sustained in December 2024 after slipping during a Capitol lunch. Months earlier, in March 2023, he was hospitalized following a fall that resulted in a concussion and fractured rib. After that incident, he underwent rehabilitation before returning to his Senate duties.
Despite these challenges, McConnell has remained active in Senate proceedings, playing a key role in negotiating government funding measures and judicial confirmations.
The Kentucky senator was first elected in 1984. He has served seven terms and has been the Senate Republican leader since 2007, making him the longest-serving party leader in Senate history. He is set to step down from his leadership position at the end of his current term.
As of now, McConnell’s office has not commented on Thursday’s fall or indicated whether he required any medical evaluation following the incident.

Graham Platner dismisses old Reddit posts as ‘stupid joke comments’
U.S. Senate candidate Graham Platner is disavowing a series of now-deleted social media posts in which he criticized police and said that white rural Americans “actually are” racist and stupid.
Platner, a veteran and oyster farmer from Hancock County, is running to challenge Sen. Susan Collins. His Reddit posts from 2020 and 2021 were resurfaced this week by CNN, which reported that they were deleted prior to Platner’s campaign launch in August.
In an interview with the Press Herald Thursday, Platner said the posts came from a time when he was disillusioned and angry, and expressed those sentiments online. He said the comments don’t reflect who he is today.
“A lot of it isn’t even things I believed then,” Platner said. “A lot of them are just stupid joke comments. I look back now and I don’t mean to be flippant, but it was just dumb stuff on the internet and when I stopped being lonely and isolated I didn’t use that as an outlet anymore.”
In one since-removed post from 2020, Platner responded to a thread titled “White people aren’t as racist or stupid as Trump thinks” by writing, “Living in white rural America, I’m afraid to tell you they actually are.”
In another comment from 2021, Platner replied in a thread about a Black army lieutenant who was held at gunpoint and pepper-sprayed by police during a traffic stop. When one Reddit user wrote, “Bastards. Cops are bastards,” Platner responded, “All of them, in fact.”
Other posts addressed Platner’s political views and how his military service reshaped his perspective. Platner served three deployments to Iraq with the Marine Corps and was deployed to Afghanistan with the Army National Guard before settling in Sullivan, where he grew up.
In one reflection on his life after the military, he wrote, “I was a vegetable growing, psychedelics taking socialist these days. After the war, I’ve pretty much stopped believing in any of the patriotic nonsense that got me there in the first place, and am a firm believer that the best thing a person can do is help their neighbors and live a loving life.”
Platner is considered a leading contender for the Democratic nomination to challenge Collins. Gov. Janet Mills, who is finishing up her second term, announced Tuesday that she is also running.
This story will be updated.

This Colorado school district was sued for removing library books. Now it’s fundraising for legal fees.
The Elizabeth School District’s website greets visitors with an unusual pop-up: an invitation to help cover legal fees for a lawsuit related to library book removals.
Located southeast of Denver and serving about 2,700 students, the district is raising funds as part of a broader campaign supported by at least three conservative groups — including one led by former Republican gubernatorial candidate Heidi Ganahl — to defend against the lawsuit.
### The Lawsuit Over Library Book Removals
In December, the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of Colorado filed suit against the district. The lawsuit alleges that the Elizabeth school board’s decision to remove 19 books from school libraries violates both federal and state free speech protections.
These books, now back on shelves due to a court order, primarily feature authors or subjects related to LGBTQ people, people of color, or both.
### An Unusual Fundraising Approach
While school districts commonly fundraise for supplies or field trips, soliciting donations to pay legal fees is uncommon. The donation page — hosted by Ganahl’s group — features a heading that reads “Save Elizabeth School District,” with suggested donation amounts ranging from $250 to $10,000.
Publicly available school district financial records do not clarify how much the district has spent on this lawsuit. District officials declined to comment on the expenses.
### Who Is Involved in the Case?
Plaintiffs include two students from the district, a chapter of the NAACP, and the Authors Guild, a professional writers’ organization. Their attorneys argue that book removals violate free speech protections.
Among the removed titles were notable works such as *The Bluest Eye* by Toni Morrison, *The Kite Runner* by Khaled Hosseini, and *It’s Your World If You Don’t Like It, Change It* by Mikki Halpin.
District lawyers counter that the books were removed due to concerns about age-appropriateness, lack of educational value, and sensitive content including graphic violence, explicit sexual references, extreme substance use, and themes of self-harm.
### District Leadership Responds
Elizabeth Superintendent Dan Snowberger declined a phone interview but sent a text message emphasizing the district’s financial stability. He described the lawsuit’s origin as “unusual,” writing:
> “It’s unusual for a behemoth organization like the ACLU with a major financial war chest to come after a small rural district. We will not allow them to impact the educational opportunities for our children in the district, and will do everything necessary to mobilize outside forces to protect our children.”
The district has framed the legal battle against the ACLU as a David versus Goliath story. On social media and at board meetings, some community members have voiced support for both the book removals and the legal fight.
### Community Divisions Over the Issue
Supporters of the removals often cite graphic content—such as descriptions of sexual assault—as inappropriate for students.
However, other community members oppose both the book bans and the fundraising efforts. Jessica Capsel, an Elizabeth resident whose son previously attended district schools, criticized the time and money spent on the lawsuit.
“That pop-up [window] begging for money pops up every time you change a page,” Capsel said. She added that a previous lawsuit she won against the district related to open meeting violations was more straightforward, suggesting the current priorities are misplaced.
### The ACLU’s Position
Tim Macdonald, legal director of the ACLU of Colorado, said the organization did not “come after” Elizabeth. Rather, district students and families asked for compliance with the Constitution to stop banning books that contain viewpoints or content opposed by board members.
He stated:
> “Fighting for the constitutional rights of students in Colorado is how we protect children; violating their constitutional rights is not protecting children.”
### Financial Transparency Questioned
It remains unclear how much the Elizabeth School District has spent on its legal defense since the lawsuit’s filing 10 months ago.
District financial records suggest modest payments to the two main law firms involved. From January through June 2025, the district paid about $6,500 to First and Fourteenth (based in Colorado Springs), none to Mitchell Law (Austin, Texas), and approximately $57,000 to Miller, Farmer, Carlson Law. The latter firm usually handles routine district matters but is also involved in this case.
### Fundraising Details Remain Opaque
The amount raised through the legal defense fundraiser and how those funds are allocated is not publicly clear.
Heidi Ganahl’s conservative news outlet Rocky Mountain Voice operates the online donation page “Save Elizabeth School District” but did not respond to questions about fundraising totals or fund distribution. Ganahl provided a statement saying:
> “Our fundraising assistance supports the board in exercising its authority to curate age-appropriate library content, responding to parental concerns about sensitive themes like explicit content or divisive topics.”
Julian Ellis, one of the district’s lawyers from First and Fourteenth Law, did not respond to inquiries about donations collected. The district website lists Ellis as the recipient for paper checks made payable to the Article III Foundation, an Alexandria, Virginia-based group supporting the district’s legal expenses.
Similarly, Lori Gimelshteyn, executive director of the parents’ rights group Parents United America — another fundraiser host — did not provide information about funds raised or their destinations.
### Additional Fundraising Efforts
Citizens Defending Freedom, based in Mulberry, Florida, is a fourth partner in fundraising efforts for Elizabeth’s legal costs. Last Thursday, they held a “Protect Our Children” fundraiser at a Colorado Springs church, with ticket sales supporting Ganahl’s group.
Tickets ranged from $100 for a single entry to $2,000 for a “platinum” package that included 10 tickets, VIP seating, and a private reception with speakers.
When asked about fundraising totals, a spokesperson for Citizens Defending Freedom referred Chalkbeat to Bonnie Wallace, a legislative liaison for Recovering America — an organization promoting Biblical values — and one of the event speakers. Wallace did not respond to multiple requests for comment.

‘Love Island USA’ star Amaya ‘Papaya’ Espinal spills her ‘iconic’ beauty essentials
Ever wonder what your favorite celebrities buy when they’re browsing their favorite boutique or shopping online late at night? Welcome to Six Picks, where we ask stars to spill their style and beauty must-haves so you can shop like you’re famous, too.
Amaya “Papaya” Espinal is stopping to smell the roses. In the months since she won *Love Island USA*, the 25-year-old star has popped up at New York Fashion Week and become a bona fide beauty influencer, most recently starring in a campaign for Herbal Essences’ rose-scented haircare.
“I definitely needed to make sure my Herbal Essences shampoo and conditioner were [at the ‘Love Island’ villa],” Espinal tells *Page Six Style*. “Maybe that’s why the boys were going a little crazy!”
While she quips that her pre-date ritual typically involves “taking a shot,” she’s also a strong believer in the power of scent and self-confidence. “I dress good and I smell good for myself, not for other people,” Espinal says. “If they don’t know the prize, then that’s their loss. And I feel like everyone should have that mindset.”
Though her onscreen dating must-haves also included press-on nails that “producers were nice enough to go out and buy,” these days Espinal’s not limited to the contents of her suitcase. Below, shop some of her ultimate beauty favorites — from tear-proof setting spray to an “iconic” lip-plumping gloss.
**Maybelline Colossal Bubble Mascara**
“Very iconic, especially in the villa. [I] do love that mascara. It’s light, but it does enough for your eyes.”
**Too Faced Kissing Jelly Gloss**
“Listen, baby, that gloss makes sure your lip gloss is popping.”
**Herbal Essences Rose Hips Shampoo and Conditioner**
“Growing up, Herbal Essences had been my only [brand] to go to [for] shampoo and conditioner. I just always loved it especially since not only is it beneficial for your hair (and makes your hair so smooth), but baby, the scents!”
**MAC Multitasking Setting Spray**
“I’m just an OG girl for Mac, especially the setting spray. Especially with me being a sensitive gangster, we need to set and make sure there’s no mascara running.”
**Garnier SkinActive Micellar Cleansing Water**
“You always need a good makeup remover in your go-to makeup kit. It definitely makes sure that my face is fresh and feels good after a long day.”
**Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk Plumpgasm Lip Gloss**
“It’s just iconic.”
