New Drug Allegations in Britney Spears Custody Battle
As the legal battle for Sean Preston and Jayden James Federline continues, new accusations are flying about the tots’ mom, Britney Spears.
A former bodyguard for Britney, Tony Barretto, was prepared to testify about “issues of nudity by Ms. Spears, drug use and safety issues involving the children” that he witnessed as her bodyguard before she fired him on May 17, said his attorney. But instead of testifying, his written allegations were entered into court as evidence.
Britney’s lawyer, Laura Wasser, strongly denied any drug use by her client. “He isn’t a credible witness,” she said.
Which is all fine and good, except for the fact that Laura quit as Brit’s legal rep just hours later.
“I don’t want anyone to perceive that we’re dumping Britney,” Laura said. “In a lot of attorney-client relationships, there comes a time when some fresh blood is necessary.”
Riiight. Can you say “run for the hills”?
