Flores Charges vs. Spears Called Bogus

(CBS/ AP)  An attorney for Britney Spears' ex-husband called child abuse claims leveled at the singer by a former bodyguard baseless and motivated by money.

Fernando Flores, who worked on the singer's security detail, sued Spears on Wednesday claiming sexual harassment and intentional infliction of emotional distress. His lawsuit claims Spears repeatedly exposed herself to him and that he witnessed her punish her young sons with his belt and act inappropriately in front of them.

Kevin Federline's attorney, Mark Vincent Kaplan, told The Associated Press that Flores' accusations had been looked into before the suit was filed and warranted no action. He said Federline takes any allegations of abuse or wrongdoing regarding the former couple's children seriously.

"He is satisfied that the allegations are a product of economic motives," Kaplan said. "They are as baseless as they seem."

Federline has custody of the former couple's sons, Sean Preston and Jayden James, but Spears has substantial visitation with the boys.

Kaplan said if Federline believed the children were in danger, he would have stepped in already.

He noted that Flores' lawsuit was leaked to online news outlets before the suit was filed. "I think that the timing of this and the nature of the allegations speak for themselves."

The lawsuit seeks unspecified damages and includes several lurid allegations of Spears allegedly exposing herself to Flores.

Spears' publicist, Holly Shakoor, did not return e-mail messages seeking comment on the case.

The lawsuit claims that Spears, among other things, exposed herself to Flores and summoned him to her bedroom while she was naked.

Gossip website RadarOnline.com says the lawsuit alleges Spears, as Radar puts it, "forced her sons to eat until they puked, had loud sexual relations in the same hotel suite with her young sons and told them, "Mommy is White Trash." '

RadarOnline.com says it's "also learned from a source close to the situation that Flores is claiming he won't settle and wants this lawsuit to go the distance."

The bodyguard's employment with Spears appeared to be brief - his court filings state he started working for her in February and had "exhausted his administrative remedies" with a state agency by July.

Flores also sued his former employer, Advanced Security Concepts Corp. A woman who answered the company's phone Wednesday declined to comment and refused to be identified.

Spears remains under a court-ordered conservatorship in which her personal and financial affairs are controlled by her father and an attorney, and monitored by a judge. The conservatorship has prevented Spears from being deposed or testifying during previous cases in which she was sued.

Despite a high-profile custody battle, Spears and Federline reached an agreement in 2008 and neither side has sought changes to the custody arrangement in nearly a year, court records show.

Garbage news

Dude it is in entertainment not in any other form.

I'm sure he (Flores) has a private disclosure agreement with the agency, and/or the agency is bound by a fiduciary relationship as part of the contract agreement. It's probably all in small print and this case will not stand past the first hearing of motions. Flores has no case and I would surmise that he would be leaving himself liable to civil recourse by both his agency and Ms. Spears.

I am no Spears fan but I dont believe this yocal for one minute. If she called me into her room and dropped her panties there would have been no hesitation. She's not married. She is still hot. This guy sounds like a leach to me.

What some people will do for money is a shame. I would think that he would feel lucky just to be around her.
