Fernando Flores tells TMZ he’s ‘standing up for what I believe is right.’ By Kelley L. Carter Britney Spears Photo: David Aguilera/ BuzzFoto/ FilmMagic A former bodyguard for pop superstar Britney Spears defended his sexual-harassment lawsuit Thursday (September 9), saying he’s “standing up for what I believe is right.” Fernando Flores, the bodyguard who alleged earlier this week that the pop singer repeatedly made unwanted sexual advances toward him and exposed her naked or near-naked body to him, gave a quick interview to TMZ outside his lawyer’s Orange County office. Spears, however, denied the allegations , posting a statement on her website saying that she and her attorneys believed the suit would be dismissed. “This lawsuit is another unfortunate situation where someone is trying to take advantage of the Spears family and make a name for himself,” the statement read. To Spears’ statement, Flores told the gossip website “if that’s what they think, then that’s what they think.” A dollar amount isn’t cited in the suit — which is posted on TMZ — but Flores is seeking damages based on the sexual-harassment incidents and for “intentional infliction of emotional distress.” Flores also alleged in the suit that Spears abused her children. In the suit, he said the 28-year-old had sex and engaged in violent arguments in front of her two young sons. Sources told TMZ that Flores’ accusations of child abuse (including an incident where he says Spears allegedly whipped one of her sons with a belt) were declared without merit by the Department of Children and Family Services.
