Britney Spears’ team of professionals is amassing their response to Star Magazine and Radar’s report that Britney is being abused or has been abused by her boyfriend Jason Trawick. Star published an interview with Britney’s first husband Jason Alexander early Wednesday morning – Alexander claimed that Britney had told him Jason Trawick was abusing her, and he, Alexander, was “very concerned” for her. Then, hours later, Radar released alleged audio of Alexander and Britney’s conversation, where you could here Britney (or a Brit imposter) saying stuff like “my daddy’s got a shotgun” and stuff. Now, while I wouldn’t think much about a denial from Britney herself, I do trust her manager Larry Rudolph, and if Rudolph says Star’s report is a load of crap, then it’s a load of crap. Rudolph goes even further – he says that the audio is “100 percent not” Britney, and that the lawyers are now working on a formal response:

Britney Spears has been happily dating Jason Trawick for over a year but is their relationship toxic?

The pop star’s rep is denying a new tabloid report, which claims that Trawick has been physically abusive toward Spears.

The allegations were made by Spears’s one-time husband, Jason Alexander, whose 55-hour Las Vegas marriage to the singer was annulled in 2004. In the tabloid report, Alexander says Spears told him Trawick “beat on me.”

An audio clip of the alleged conversation was posted on RadarOnline Wednesday, but the singer’s manager Larry Rudolph denies that the female voice belongs to Spears, who turns 29 on Thursday.

It is “100 percent not her,” Rudolph told Access Hollywood. “Lawyers are amassing. We are 100 percent taking stern and immediate legal action.”

Sources close to the couple also tell PEOPLE that allegations of violence are untrue.

“Jason has never been abusive to Britney,” says one close source. “Britney has in the past been very difficult and has had tantrums around Jason, but he was and is nothing but patient with her.”

In fact, says the source, “The couple’s relationship is better [than ever]. Britney and Jason lately have been very happy together.”

Meanwhile, Britney’s rep released this statement to Us Weekly:

“Every aspect of the story published by Star Magazine is completely and utterly false and Star Magazine was informed of the falsity of this story before it was published,” reps for Spears tell UsMagazine.com in a statement.

“The statements attributed to Jason Alexander are a complete fabrication as Britney has not had any form of communication with Mr. Alexander in years. The audio recording posted on Radaronline this morning purporting to be between Britney Spears and Jason Alexander is so obviously fake as to be laughable. Suffice it to say, that Jason Trawick has never laid a hand on Britney.”

The statement continues: “These irresponsible statements are defamatory and Britney Spears’ legal team will be taking legal action against all of the appropriate parties.”

Is it over now? Well… I think Star is getting sued. This isn’t some Ashton Kutcher-Chris Martin fakeout “I never cheated, I’m going to sue!” tantrum and then there is never any follow-through. As far as the actual claim of abuse – while I kept an open mind yesterday, I tend to think People’s report is probably more to the truth – that Britney throws tantrums and fits, and that Jason is very patient with her.
