Britney Spears categorically denied a former bodyguard's accusations that she'd sexually harassed him and abused her children, the Associated Press reports. Fernando Flores, who worked as a bodyguard for Spears for a couple months in 2010,filed a lawsuit against the pop star on Wednesday.

On Thursday, Spears posted a statement on her website in response to the allegations. In the statement, she says she and her lawyer fully expect the lawsuit to 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 said.

"The Department of Children and Family Services conducted a proper investigation surrounding Mr. Flores' accusations and have closed the case without further action," the statement concluded.
