Britney Spears and parents sued by Sam Lufti
Oh, Britney. It never ends, does it?
Britney Spears and her parents are all being sued by ex-manager Sam Lufti for libel and defamation. It would appear it’s in direct retaliation for the restraining order that was granted to the Spears family.
At the moment there’s no mention of how much money he’s seeking for his troubles. In his lawsuit, he does still insist that he always acted in Britney’s best interests. Meanwhile, the Spears family still stands by their claims that Lufti did everything he could to control her, with Lynne Spears even accusing him of drugging her through her food.
A great deal of the lawsuit seems to revolve around things that were written in Lynne’s tell-all book, Through the Storm. According to The Huffington Post:
He claims the Spears’ actions have caused him to suffer “humiliation, mental anguish and emotional and physical distress.” Lutfi’s lawsuit also claims he has received death threats and “has been subjected to unfathomable amounts of ridicule and public scorn.”
Lutfi is also seeking unspecified damages based on an oral contract he claims he and Britney Spears forged in 2007. The suit states the agreement called for him to serve as Spear’s manager for four years and receive 15 percent of her earnings. He claims the singer confirmed the contract in a text message.
This is unbelievable. No matter how hard Britney Spears keeps working to turn her life around for the better, drama keeps following her everywhere she goes. There are always people who will kick you when you’re down and then fight to get some of your success when you get back up.
