Britney Spears‘ former bodyguard Tony Barretto has claimed that Britney’s current penchant for wearing skimpy, revealing outfits is a deliberate plan to make people feel uneasy around her.

Since separating from now ex-husband Kevin Federline last November, Britney has been spotted wearing a succession of see-through tops, bottom-skimming dresses and going out in little more than underwear — and of course, at other times, not wearing underwear at all.

Tony, who is the ’surprise witness’ in the couple’s ongoing custody battle, told the News of the World: “It’s the strangest thing, she likes to expose herself. I think part of it is she likes to embarrass people and make them feel uneasy.”

“Before I even started working for her, I was warned about her stripping. I must have seen her naked dozens of times and each time I’ve been extremely embarrassed.”

“She strips off anywhere - at home, recording studios and clubs. Even at the dance rehearsals, she took all her clothes off in front of me and then bent over, not even to pick anything up. I felt my ears burning and turned my head to the wall.”

“Another time, she came running to the guardroom. All she had on was a pair of skimpy shorts. One hand was covering one breast but the other was exposed. I didn’t know where to look.”
