Kevin Did Not Find Out About Divorce Directly From Brit    ·    November 9th, 2006

Showing an admirable dedication to making sure that every possible angle in the Britney Spears divorce story is covered, Extra trekked all the way to the hinterlands of Fresno to interview–and we really hate to use the expression ‘we shit you not,’ but we really, really shit you not–the guy who owns the background dancing studio where the Artist Who Would One Day Be Known As K-Fed honed the Roger Rabbit and Running Man skills that would later propel him to international, pop-star-impregnating fame.

Johnson confirms that Federline did not find out about the divorce from Britney. (Fresno - November 8, 2006) - ‘Extra’s’ Jerry Penacoli spoke exclusively to Kevin Federline’s friend, Ralph Johnson. Johnson owns the studio in Fresno where Federline danced. Johnson declared, ‘He’s [Federline] doing like anyone else in these situations.’

Johnson spoke to Federline very recently and tells ‘Extra’ that he ‘wasn’t even in LA when it happened.’ He revealed that Federline ‘didn’t hear [about] it from his wife.’

Johnson declared, ‘Kevin’s very focused on his album and his singing career…that’s pretty much what he is trying to keep his focus on.’

On Federline’s bad rap since marrying Spears, Johnson said, ‘He has tremendous respect for his wife, but he also has respect for his career…whether he makes it or doesn’t make it is up to him. He’s a good person…I don’t know anything negative about him.’

Johnson believes that Federline’s career can survive a divorce, he stated, ‘I think he’ll have no problem at all.’
