In a press release, the DA’s office said Spears “will not be charged with any crimes related to an incident that occurred at her residence involving her housekeeper.â€
During the argument, Spears allegedly slapped a phone out of the housekeeper’s hand. The housekeeper indicated that the phone’s screen protector was damaged.
No one was injured, but a report of the incident was turned over to prosecutors.
At the time, Spears’ attorney Matthew Rosengart called the investigation “overblown sensational tabloid fodder ― nothing more than a manufactured ‘he said she said’ regarding a cellphone, with no striking and obviously no injury whatsoever.â€
Wednesday’s announcement from the DA said that the Misdemeanor Unit supervisor had thoroughly reviewed the case and said there was insufficient evidence a crime had occurred, noting “the lack of injury to the housekeeper or significant damage to the phone.â€
