Report: Britney Spears Planning To Countersue Bodyguard
Posted on Fri Sep 10th, 2010 1:48pm PDT By X17 Staff
Britney Spears is ready to fight back against Fernando Flores, the bodyguard who has accused the pop star of sexual harassment and child abuse.Spears, who has denied Flores' claims via her website, is currently organizing her legal team for the countersuit in which she'll be demanding that Flores pay for all the legal bills that have accrued, according to contactmusic.com.
According to the site, Britney's ex, Kevin Federline, is backing her decision to countersue Flores, who was employed by the singer from February to July 2010.
"Kevin told Britney she should do it and she strongly agreed that winning this case and forcing Flores to pay - big time - may help quash other future nuisance lawsuits against celebrities. Like the ones you often see filed by disgruntled, fired ex-employees - like nannies, housekeepers, drivers and bodyguards," a source tells the site.
Just yesterday, Federline's lawyer released the following statement on behalf of his client: "He is satisfied the allegations are a product of economic motives. They are as baseless as they seem."
Flores, 29, claims that during his five months of employment, the singer, 28, exposed herself to him, engaged in sexual acts in front of him and abused her children with a belt.
He is seeking unspecified damages based around the sexual harassment incidents and for "intentional infliction of emotional distress."
