First it was Britney Spears’ bodyguard. He filed suit in September claiming the pop star sexually harassed him, inviting him to her bedroom while she was naked and engaging in sex in front of him.

Now the former bodyguard for a partner at Constantine Cannon has filed a federal sexual harassment suit against his onetime boss. The New York Post has details of the “blockbuster new lawsuit” filed by former New York police detective John Brandt against his onetime employer, 70-year-old lawyer Roy Adams.

Adams’ lawyer, Alan Serrins, told the Post, “What you have here is a disgruntled former employee who is simply seeking money.” A cached version of Adams’ law firm bio says Adams taught estate planning and taxation at Northwestern law school for more than 25 years. He was also once the senior chairman of the trusts & estates practice at Sonnenschein Nath & Rosenthal, co-chair of the trusts & estates practice at Schiff Hardin & Waite, and worldwide head of the trusts and estates practice at Kirkland & Ellis.
