Brit's former bodyguard - whom we ID'd as Tony Barretto - made some pretty severe statements in the Brit/K-Fed custody war today. Attorney Gloria Allred released the following information in a statement:
"Tony was employed by Spears from the time she left rehab until May 17, 2007. He was in her home on a full-time basis, drove her to appointments, and observed her behavior inside of her home, outside of her home, and around her children. During that time, he became very concerned about the children and their safety.Though he was reluctant to come forward and become embroiled in her cutody dispute, he did so because of his concern about the safetly and well-being of the children. He's a father of young children himself.
We appeared with our client this morning, who was prepared to testify and be cross-examined under oath, on his declaration which was filed with the court and was received as evidence in this case. We are shocked that Ms. Spears' attorneys chose not to cross-examine our client as to the substance of his declaration. Our client was prepared to testify on issues of nudity by Ms. Spears, drug use, and safety issues involving the children post-rehab. Neither the court nor Ms. Spears' attorneys chose to examine our client from the witness stand, regarding the particulars of his highly-explosive and relevant declaration; it stands unrefulted and unchallenged."
As X17 has previously reported, an X17 source says that Tony is not a credible witness, and Brit is not worried.
Stay tuned for more info coming up!
I see a book deal in his future ...
