Lutfi Carefully Removed from Britney’s Entourage

The man claiming to be friend and manager to pop singer Britney Spears, Sam Lutfi, has agreed to have the temporary restraining order forbidding him from contacting Britney extended for another 30 days.

Sam Lutfi’s spokesman has confirmed that the former manager of Britney Spears has agreed to stay away from the singer for another 30 days. The restraining order against Lutfi was placed in late February and was to expire Monday, March 17.

Lutfi agreed to stay away from Britney for an additional 30 days, thus avoiding a courtroom confrontation with the singer’s parents, People magazine reports on its website.

Father Jamie Spears is Britney’s co-conservator thru July 31. Mother Lynne Spears made heartbreaking allegations against Lutfi in documents seeking the restraining order, claiming he had attempted to gain control over her daughter by putting medicine in her food and isolating her from the outside world.

The temporary restraining order against Lutfi could be extended to five years or it could even be made permanent, according to media reports.

“There is an agreement between Sam Lutfi and the conservatorship for the next 30 days,” Lutfi spokesman Michael Sands said Sunday, as quoted by the Associated Press. “Both parties are happy and will continue to work together to further resolve any issues that may have come up in the past.”

A judge is expected to approve the agreement Monday.

In February, a Los Angeles judge ordered Lutfi not go within 250 yards of the 26-year-old mother of two and her home, as well as the homes of her family members. He is not allowed to contact her in any way.

Later that month, Los Angeles police said they were looking into allegations that someone drugged Britney but a decision regarding a formal investigation had not been made yet.

Police Capt. Kyle Jackson said in a statement that the allegations “are being considered” by the Robbery-Homicide unit to determine if laws have been violated.

Lynne Spears’ request for a restraining order against Lutfi included allegations that he had moved into her daughter’s home, “purporting to take control of her life, home and finances.”

“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,” Lynne declared.

Lynne also described how Lutfi appeared have control over paparazzi in Britney’s house, allowing them inside, giving orders etc. She also portrayed him as being verbally and emotionally abusive towards the young mother of two.
