Britney Spears has been accused of assaulting her longtime housekeeper during a disagreement over the treatment of her dogs.
The 39-year-old pop star, whose camp denies the claims, is currently being investigated over the alleged battery, according to TMZ.
Britney is alleged to have slapped the housekeeper’s phone away from her grasp after she took one of her dogs to the vet.
Ventura County Sheriff’s deputies responded to the alleged incident which is said to have occurred on Monday at Britney’s house.
The Crossroads star’s housekeeper reportedly told the cops that she took one of the singer’s dogs to get checked out because she claimed she wasn’t happy with the pet’s wellness.
Upon her return, she alleges that she and Britney got into a disagreement about the pup’s health, leading to the “Stronger” singer knocking the housekeeper’s phone right out of her hands.
TMZ further reported that the singer’s camp has denied claims made by her housekeep, saying that she is making it all up and that ‘the case will go nowhere’.
