Britney Spears’ agent-turned-boyfriend Jason Trawick has been credited with helping turn the pop star’s life around and keep her mentally stable, but there are those who are suggesting he might have been beating the sanity into her this whole time. Those as in Britney herself, in a phone conversation recorded by her ex-husband Jason Alexander and subsequently leaked (listen here) onto the interwebs. Radar Online says:

[In] Star magazine’s audio of Alexander and Britney talking, Britney plainly states that Trawick beat her.

Alexander says: “How’s your problems with your fiancé?”

Britney answers: “That (bleep) is not my fiancé.”

Alexander: “I thought he proposed to you or something at the beach.”

Britney: “Before or after he beat on me?”

The beating is also referenced later in the conversation.

“Britney is in an abusive relationship,” [said] Alexander, who has remained friends with the singer since their 55-hour marriage in 2004. “She told me her life had turned into a nightmare.”

Funny, I didn’t know “Trawick” was an Irish name. There’s usually that O and an apostrophe at the beginning to warn you that they will beat you retarded once they’ve finished that bottle of whiskey. It’s like the rattlesnake’s rattle, except with more vomiting.
