Britney Spears Accused






Britney Spears threw a baby bottle and threatened two photographers after they took pictures of her leaving a Las Vegas spa, the photographers claim in a statement. Spears yelled, "I am going to kill you!" and cursed at Andrew Deetz, a photographer who says he was beaten by Spears' bodyguard according to a statement released by Deetz's lawyers. "Deetz is preparing to sue," his lawyers said. The other photographer involved was Kyle Henderson. They both work for a celebrity photography company called Flynet Pictures, according to Daniel Kogan, a spokesman for Deetz's lawyers. The photographers were taking pictures of Spears as she and her children left the spa at the Wynn Las Vegas casino-hotel accompanied by two bodyguards. "One bodyguard, Cesar Julio Camera pushed Henderson against the Wall until Wynn security intervened and asked Henderson to leave," the statement said. "As they were about 30 paces away and walking in the opposite direction, Camera attacked Deetz from behind, threw him on the ground and punched and kicked him until security pulled him off," the statement said. "Afterward, Spears ran toward Henderson but was stopped by security, and then she threw a baby bottle at him," it said. "Then, in front of several other hotel guests and bystanders, Spears threatened to kill Deetz and said he should get a restraining order against her because she was going to kill him or hire someone that would," it said. Camera also previously confronted Deetz outside a boutique in Beverly Hills and told him, "I have unfinished business with you," the statement alleged. Deetz, who maintains he always kept a safe distance of approximately 30-50 feet while photographing Spears, says the attack caused him "multiple bruises to his face and head as well as injuries to his brain, neck and other parts of his body." He claims he continues to receive treatment for his injuries. Las Vegas police issued a summons for a charge of battery to Camera, the only person cited. He could face up to six months in county jail and a $1,000 fine if convicted.
