Dawn Noel, a dancer who worked with Britney Spears on her “Work B**ch” video, claims that the singer hit her in the face while rehearsing. She says that Spears was so careless that she refused to let rehearsals stop.
The dancer will file the lawsuit on Monday, TMZ reports. She said that on Aug. 19, she was at rehearsals for the video in Woodland Hills, California. There, she and several other dancers worked for hours. Spears didn’t show up for several hours and looked like she was in a “disheveled and confused state.”
Spears had difficulty dancing and Noel was positioned beside her. She claims that Spears danced in a spiral and smacked Noel in the face. At that point, Noel says she heard a crack and that her nose was broken.
Spears didn’t stop the rehearsals and only said “I’m sorry.” Noel later went to a doctor, who said she needed surgery. Noel said that Spears’ team told her they would pay her bills, but so far, she has received nothing. In response, Noel and her lawyers will take Spears to court.
There’s been no word from Spears on the lawsuit. She is currently dating David Lucado and it’s been rumored that they may get married soon. The Britney Jean singer is slated to continue her Las Vegas residency this year.
