Britney Spears Breaks Down Amidst Child Abuse Rumors

Braving the steamy west coast weather, Britney Spears was spotted running around town in Calabasas, California on Thursday (July 1).

The "Womanizer" singer stopped off to get a caramel frappachino at Starbucks with her bodyguard on a 95 degree day, after which she ended up bursting into tears due to the swarming paparazzi.

Currently the subject of child welfare services rumors, an insider says Spears’ former bodyguard Fernando Flores is way off base in his claims that the “Gimme More” songstress is harmful to Jayden James and Sean Preston.

The source tells, "Britney is quite the opposite – she doesn't discipline them enough and she will do anything to keep the boys happy. There are issues with Britney, but her abusing the boys are not one of them. It's ridiculous what the guy is claiming. It never happened."
