More from Planet of the Obvious: Britney Spears is now being investigated for child abuse, and the request to the L.A. County Department of Children and Family Services comes straight from former bodyguard Tony Barretto. But our girl is too busy pole dancing...
“The referral asks for an investigation into Britney Spears and her
behavior with her two young children,” [Barretto’s attorney] Allred
said in a statement. “It was our understanding at the end of the
meeting … (that) the department will investigate to the best of their
ability…It was important that we filed because the department has no
legal power to investigate unless there is a filing. Now that we have
filed, they have the power to open an investigation.”
Say what you will about this guy, but I've watched a few interviews with him and I really believe he has the best interests of Sean Preston and Jayden James. A father of two himself, he had nothing to gain by coming forward. Sure, he's been paid for some of these interviews but with the media circus surrounding him, I doubt he's able to work at this time anyway. Dude's got a family to feed too.
When he came forward, he was coming out against a major pop-star who really, with all her money, could have done a few things to have made this go away, had she been coherent enough.
Meanwhile, no word from Britney's camp ~ she's awaiting the release of her Gimmie More video (out Monday) where she further degrades herself with pole dancing. What's next Britney?
