Former Britney bodyguard speaks in her defence

Another person has come to the defence of Britney Spears following last week’s lawsuit by former bodyguard Fernando Flores, who is suing her for sexual harassment and has accused her of abusing her two sons.

Last week, a legal rep for Spears’s ex-husband, and the father of her two children, Kevin Federline, said Flores’s child abuse claims were without foundation. And now another former bodyguard of the pop star has come to her defence too.

Mark Chinapen worked for Spears between 2007 and 2008, and told E! Online last week that “in our time with Britney, we’ve never seen anything in a negative sense. If there was an issue, we would have said something to her or authorities when it came to the kids. But we never saw anything negative”.

On working for Britney, he said: “It was very normal. Starbucks runs, going for lunch, driving, shopping, buying clothes, and going out to events. That’s it. Britney is one of those people that likes to conduct her own business and go around and do her thing around town. She’s not looking for someone to be in her face 24/7, just someone to assist when they’re needed”.

As previously reported, Spears’s people last week briefly commented on Flores’s lawsuit, saying the whole affair was “unfortunate” and was mainly about the former bodyguard trying to “make a name for himself”. When Flores first made his claims about Spears’ alleged child abuse in the media earlier in the year, the Los Angeles Department Of Children And Family Services investigated and ruled that there was “absolutely no truth” in the former bodyguard’s allegations.
