Spears being sued by fragrance-launch company

Britney Spears is being sued for $10m (€6.8m) by a firm working with her on her fragrance line.

The ‘Toxic’ hitmaker and her father Jamie Spears – who is co-conservator of the star’s estate – is the subject of legal action by licensing firm Brand Sense Partners, who allege breach of contract and are claiming they have stopped receiving the 35% commission that was agreed as part of their deal to launch Britney’s fragrance line.
