Default Lynne Spears accuses Sam Lufti of drugging Britney Spears

Manager drugged Britney, says mum

Hot Water ... Britney Spears' manager Sam Lufti is facing allegations he drugged the singer, says Lynne Spears

BRITNEY Spears' manager Sam Lufti is facing allegations he drugged the singer after her mother obtained a restraining order to keep him away from the star.

Reports from the US today reveal details of a declaration by Spears' mother, Lynne, outlining Mr Lufti's control of her daughter and her finances.
The Associated Press says documents just released by a Los Angeles court demand he now stay away from the 26-year-old and stop harassing her.

Spears, who has been in a downward spiral for months, culminating in the loss of visitation rights to her children, is in psychiatric care in LA, and her father has obtained control of her assets while she is undergoing treatment.
In her declaration, Lynne Spears reportedly says: "Mr Lutfi drugged Britney, he has cut Britney's home phone lines and removed her cell phone chargers.
"He yells at her. He claims to control everything - Britney's business manager, her attorneys and the security guards at the gate."

If this is true it doesn't suprise me one bit. Wonder if he really was the one who broke into Britney's home recently. I'd love to read more about this guy and his past dealings. Did her downfall begin when he started on the scene as her manager?

Even if the story is 50% truth and 50% lies - it's still a sad situation

Well, I believe some of it and I also believe the Spears are taking full advantage of the opportunity to turn this into a "poor Britney" party.

Not buying all of it. She showed plenty of her colors well before Sam was in the picture. She is not an innocent victim - at least not completely.

^^A few months ago, and I believe Brit tried to get rid of him once already on her own. I wonder if he's the reason her net worth went down by half. She's not drinking THAT many frapps and eating THAT many cheetos. I wonder if he was trying to liquidate her and walk away with the cash.

This explains a lot. Her erratic behavior notwitstanding she's a prime target for con artists of all kinds.

There is more to that statement from Lynn Spears, and if you read the whole thing, and it's true, Sam really is Satan. It sounds like she doesn't realize everything that has happened with her kids.

Spears' manager accused of drugging singer - CNN.com


LOS ANGELES, California (AP) -- A restraining order against the man who's been at Britney Spears' side during her downward spiral alleges that he drugged her, took over her finances and controlled the ravenous paparazzi "like a general."


Britney Spears' mother, Lynne, says that Sam Lutfi "has purported to take control of [Britney's] life."

The order against Sam Lutfi was based on a lengthy declaration from Spears' mother, Lynne, who says Spears met the 33-year-old in October 2007 and "essentially moved into Britney's home and has purported to take control of her life, home and finances."

The documents released by the court Tuesday ordered Lutfi to stay away from Spears. In a section of the order detailing previous harassment, Lynne Spears says Lutfi "drugged Britney, he has cut Britney's home phone lines and removed her cell phone chargers. He yells at her. He claims to control everything -- Britney's business manager, her attorneys and the security guards at the gate."

Much of the 6-page declaration centers on the night of January 28, just a few days before she was whisked to a hospital's psychiatric ward. She outlined increasingly bizarre behavior through the night and said her daughter asked at one point, "When do I get to see my babies?" to which Lutfi answered, "Wednesday."

Lynne Spears said she, her husband and a friend went to Britney's home, but security guards kept everyone but her out. Once inside, Lynne Spears said she found several paparazzi, that there had been "a big fight" with Lutfi, and that her daughter was crying.

"The paparazzi reported to Sam and addressed him with great respect. They treated him like a general."

She said during the evening, "Sam had told Britney she was an unfit mother, a piece of trash and a whore, that she cares more about Adnan, her current boyfriend, than she cares about her kids and that she does not deserve her kids."

It was unclear how Lynne Spears knew details of the fight.

Lynne Spears said Britney was not home when she first arrived and she understood Lutfi had disabled all of her daughter's cars to keep her from leaving. She said he ordered one of the photographers to take her away when he found out her parents were on their way to intervene.

Eventually, she said, "Britney returned and became very agitated and could not stop moving. She cleaned the house. She changed her clothes many times. She also changed her three dogs' clothes many times. Britney spoke to me in a tone and a level of understanding of a very young girl. Britney then picked up a bottle of pills and read the label and asked us, 'What does insomnia mean?' "

Lynne Spears said at one point, Lutfi told her, "You'd better learn that I control everything," and said he was the one giving Britney her medications and, "he told me if he weren't in the house to give Britney her medicine, she would kill herself."

She alleged that Lutfi theatened her. "Then he said to me, 'If you try to get rid of me, she'll be dead and I'll piss on her grave.' "

Throughout the night, she said Britney -- who recently lost custody of her two young children to ex-husband Kevin Federline -- kept asking when she could see them.

"What do I have to do to see them?" her mother quoted her as saying. "Sam responded, 'Take the pills I tell you to take.' Britney said, 'I don't like the pills and I don't like the psychiatrist. Can't I see another psychiatrist so I can see my babies?' "

At that point, Lynne Spears said, "Sam responded, 'If I told you to take 10 pills a day, you should do what I tell you to see your babies.' "


She said one time Lutfi raised his voice and said "Why don't you get back with Kevin (Federline)." Britney then said, "I'll do anything to get them back."

Spears was barred from contact with her children after she refused last month to relinquish them to representatives of Federline after a court-sanctioned visit.

How did he control her when cousin Ali was around? I'd love to hear her side of things. Was she deposed in the custody battle too? I think Lufti was and if he lied in his depo, he's got a few more things to worry about. Ha. I hope he goes down quick!

I hear ya. On the one hand, you have some horrible allegations against an evil man who took advantage of a poor, confused mentally ill woman.

On the other, you have a publicist's dream come true--what better way to deflect Brit's own horrible behavior than with said convenient evil scapegoat. Having her much-criticized parents swoop in to save the day is...wow...an added bonus.

So yeah. I'd say cautious cynical sympathy is the key here.

^^I give cautious cynical sympathy my vote too. There are some perfectly good questions like, how did Lynne know the details of Sam and Britney's fight, as the article points out.

Also, personally, I think it's likely that Lynne completely made up the part about Britney speaking "like a young girl, in tone and demeanor." What a way to paint the little girl lost picture!

Still, everything points to Osama being a very bad fucking seed. He needs to be removed and is just muddling her real problems, making them worse.

Yep, no doubt they they are acutely aware of how to spin this the best way possible. But I will give them credit for getting her in treatment where she belongs, and away from that scumsucker. They might not be much better, but at least they're family.
