The ongoing saga over Britney Spears‘ mental health and accusations that she has been enduring a physical hold in a Los Angeles treatment facility keeps turning new corners, and everyday, it seems like there’s an update from a new source.
Just this week alone, her former manager Sam Lutfi opened up on Twitter about the #FreeBritney movement, publicly stating his opinion for the first time that the pop star is being held against her will while her father has conservatorship.

ICYMI, this was Lufti’s tweet stream from a couple days ago, clearly in support of the #FreeBritney movement growing on social media (below):

Wow… talk about a former manager REALLY stirring the pot…
But Lutfi wasn’t done. He also spoke out denying allegations he at one point logged into Spears’ email account to send fake messages — completely calling out her supposed recovery video.
A Look Back…
But who is Lutfi, anyways?! His history with Spears is controversial, to say the least, and while he may still know some of the workings of the pop star’s inner circle, he’s not exactly the person who should be talking right now, either. Hmm…
Since he’s back in the public eye and going after the pop star’s supposed handlers, let’s take a walk down memory lane and recall some things about Lutfi, her former handler, too (below):
- Lutfi hasn’t been Spears’ manager for a decade now — so to be fair, whatever he does know may be dated and WRONG.
- Both Spears and Lindsay Lohan‘s camp have previously accused the talent handler of stalking… something he’s denied (twice).
- Lutfi’s infamous 2009 defamation lawsuit against the Spears family (which only just settled in 2016!) saw him try to depose Britney at least THREE times! Fortunately, Spears prevailed and Lufti was shut down.
- The ex-manager later publicly accused Britney of having meth “stashed” in her home; Spears denied this.
- Things got so bad with Lutfi that Spears’ internet and phone communications were reportedly monitored for a while to ensure she have no contact with him.
- At one point after Britney, Lutfi was going after representing Amanda Bynes. Good thing that never happened!
- For years, Lutfi couldn’t stop talking s**t publicly about Spears’ parents. Not a good look!!!
- Finally, never forget that Sam got in a fight with Brit’s nanny regarding the singer’s supposed drug use; true to form, Lutfi lost that fight, too!
Yikes!!!
Well, there you have it, Perezcious readers! Judging by this list… maybe you’re right to be skeptical of Lutfi as he tries to get back in Brit’s good graces!!!
