Police officers in California are investigating Britney Spears after a housekeeper who works at her home accused the pop star of striking her, according to the Ventura County Sheriff’s Office.

The employee told law enforcement that Spears, currently embroiled in a high-profile legal battle against her father to win control of her estate and other aspects of her life, slapped a phone out of her hands upon returning home on Monday morning.
