If you’ve been following along with the saga that is Britney Spears’ life you know how hard the singer has fought to break away from her father Jamie. It’s been a messy battle but Britney has made many small steps toward gaining back her freedom.
But earlier this month Britney’s father sank to a new low by scheming with her housekeeper to hit his daughter where he knew it would really hurt.
We’re told on August 10 Britney called the Ventura County Sheriff’s Dept. to report a theft, but when cops arrived at her home she backed off and sent them away — this was first reported by Page Six. Our sources say she was prepared to file a theft report over the dogs but apparently had a change of heart.
Fast-forward to this past Monday morning. Britney still did not have her dogs and didn’t know where they were, but suspected her dad had something to do with their disappearance.
Britney confronted her housekeeper and demanded to know where her dogs were and why they were taken away. Our Britney sources say the housekeeper expressed concern that the dogs had been neglected and showed Britney photos she had taken on her cellphone of one of the dogs that had just thrown up.
Apparently, the housekeeper is on Jamie’s payroll and was instructed to take pictures of what just happened. The dogs were immediately removed from Britney’s care. Jamie denies any involvement.
In any event, we’re told Britney became extremely upset and told the housekeeper she was not allowed to take photos in her house. Then we’re told a struggle ensued and Britney knocked the phone out of the housekeeper’s hands. Our Britney sources say she merely hit the phone, but law enforcement sources say the housekeeper alleged Britney struck her arm, which then caused her to lose her grip over the phone.
As of this writing Britney still has not gotten her dogs back, but we are all rooting for her and we’re hopeful they’ll be reunited soon.
