Britney Responds To Lawsuit Via Her Website

Yesterday, we reported on the lawsuit being brought against Britney Spears by her fomer bodyguard, Fernando Flores. Well, today, Britney is striking back, well kind of, by way of a prepared statement posted on her website.

The statement reads in part, “This lawsuit is another unfortunate situation where someone is trying to take advantage of the Spears family and make a name for himself.” “The Department of Children and Family Services conducted a proper investigation surrounding Mr. Flores’ accusations and have closed the case without any further action.”

Britney conveniently left out any rebuttal regarding the sexual charges leveled at her. She did say, however, that she and her lawyers believe that the case will be thrown out. I don’t know for sure, but I doubt it. The child abuse accusations might not stick but the sexual harassment ones might.

Also of note, Britney’s ex-husband, Kevin Federline, is taking up for Britney. He has stated that the child abuse charges are baseless. However, he didn’t have much to say about the sexual harassment charges either.
