Britney Spears‘ bodyguard claims Brit sent him “filthy” pictures from her cell phone — and he plans to prove it. A friend of the bodyguard says: “They are really explicit images that will shock and disgust the majority of her fans… Some of the pictures show Britney with the camera between her legs. Others show her in provocative positions wearing lingerie. There are a few where she is naked, exposing herself in a way that she clearly hoped would make him aroused.” The bodyguard, Fernando Flores, is suing Ms. Spears for sexual harassment; the images may be evidence in the case.
