LOS ANGELES — Just when you thought things couldn’t get any worse in Britney Spears' battle to keep custody of her two young sons, they just did.
TMZ.com is reporting that the Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services is investigating abuse allegations against Britney.
Sources told TMZ that the investigation does not involve physical mistreatment of her children, and that a hearing has been set for Sept. 4 to further examine allegations of child abuse.
But a Britney spokeswoman told FOXNews.com that such allegations are “ridiculous."
“First I've heard of it ... her kids are very well taken care of — this is simply a tug of war between two high-profile individuals,” said the rep, referring to the custody battle between Britney and her ex-husband, Kevin Federline. “The only abuse here is the way that the press is twisting information.”
Sources told TMZ that the complaint filed involves allegations of poor dental hygiene as well as poor eating and sleeping habits for her kids ... and there is speculation that it may have been Federline himself who lodged the lament.
Meanwhile, the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals last week confirmed that they were currently addressing “several complaints” that Brit’s Yorkie pup was being badly treated and was even suffering some broken bones. The SPCA has since “resolved” the rumors and while the diva’s dog did break its leg, the incident has been put down to an accident.
And Larry Rudolph, the manager booted by the Britster earlier this year for “forcing” her into rehab, has revealed that he is in hiding. The big-wig lawyer wrote a letter to Ryan Seacrest stating that he has gone into lockdown in the attempt to avoid being subpoenaed and forced to testify in the post-divorce drama between Spears and K-Fed.
