The nanny BRITNEY SPEARS fired after her son SEAN PRESTON fell from his broken high chair has spoken publicly about the incident, insisting the tumble was an accident.

The baby minder agreed to speak to US celebrity magazine Life & Style on condition reporters didn't name her.

She tells the publication Spears and her husband KEVIN FEDERLINE were out when their baby son fell to the floor and were furious when they returned to find Sean Preston in tears.

The unnamed nanny recalls, "It was a genuine accident. The chair gave way where the seat meets the frame, and Sean hit the floor. I was terrified. They (Spears and Federline) were angry with me. I had to go over the story many times with them - and with child services. I was scared for my job."

Los Angeles child services officials visited the couple's Malibu, California, home after Spears and Federline took Sean Preston to hospital to make sure he was all right.

Anybody else thinks the anonymous nanny was made to confess this so the perfect parents would not take the blame?

Nah. I actually think this was an accident. Stupid to fire the nanny over it, really.

I wonder how much they (Spears and Federline) paid her.

I thought she couldn't speak English...why do I listen to Mr. Mencia?

It was probably an accident, but it's "better" for the parents if the accident happened under the nanny's supervision and not theirs.

Absolutely. You KNOW she probably had to sign a dozen confidentially contracts, so by talking to Life & Style that would break that contract--unless Brit and that jackass WANTED her too. Makes perfect sense....

And it's laughable that she didn't want her named used.....

They were furious with her for the kid accidentally falling from the high chair but it wasn't Brits fault at all when she drove with her infant son on her lap right?

That highchair story sounded bogus from the start. Wasn't it supposed to have collapsed when she was lifting Sean Preston out? If you are lifting a baby, you are holding onto him ... so even if the chair did collapse, how would the kid have fallen?

I was wondering about that too! The entire story just sounds fishy. If the back came away from the chair she should have been holding onto the kid. It would have made much more sense to say the back broke off as the kid was just sitting in the high chair. That I could maybe see.

Did the nanny worry that Brit and KFed would find out who she was or something? Why else would she withold her name? LOL.

If you are drunk and/or high it could happen easily...

Even if it was the nanny's fault (which I don't believe), this baby is apparently left lying around on all sorts of high surfaces that he subsequently tumbles off - wasn't his skull fracture supposed to have happened when he fell off the couch when K-Turd was watching him? It sounds like a daily baby-tossing contest in the Federline household. Poor SPF.
