Britney and Sam out on 1/3/08. Credit: Fame Pictures
Sam Lutfi is the svengali who was accused by one of Britney's former assistants of stalking the star and working to insinuate himself into her life prior to gaining influence and becoming her self-declared manager late last year. Britney's friendship with Sam coincided with her mental breakdown, and people close to the pop singer painted a sinister picture of him. Britney's mother described an incident in which Lutfi bragged about mashing up psychiatric drugs and sneaking them into Britney's food, saying that Lutfi told her he was "trying to get her into a sleep-induced coma so that they could then give her drugs to heal her brain." He was also said to be disabling Britney's phones and cars, perhaps prompting her to drive around aimlessly, buy new cars frequently, and stay in hotels to escape him. Britney escaped Lutfi's control through her father's conservatorship and obtained multiple restraining orders against him, the last of which recently expired.
Lutfi was suspected of robbing items from Britney's home when he left along with taking money from her accounts. He is thought to be out of her life permanently now, but he's not about to give up. Now that he's no longer able to intimidate and steal from the singer, he's planning to earn some cash by releasing a tell-all. This news is reported in Star Magazine and it's always possible it's fabricated. Lutfi was often willing to talk to the press, though, and this sounds in character for him:
Star has learned that [Lutfi, 33, is] plotting a sensational expos, which industry experts say could earn him millions. What will he spill? Sources say he's ready to drop never-before-heard bombshells about sex and drugs - and offer a unique intimate peek inside the 26-year-old singer's shocking meltdown earlier this year.
"Sam said he once dragged Britney out of cocaine party," says a source. "She was doing so many lines, she didn't even know where she was. She was stripping in the living room while doing lines with three guys who had sex on their minds.
"Sam also said that after Britney went to court for driving without a license and couldn't drive her children around anymore, she went into a rage," the source continues. "She broke almost every piece of glass in her home and said she wanted to cut herself."

Assuming it's true that Sam is planning a tell-all, I hope there's not a publishing house slimy enough to publish it. Who am I kidding - there is probably someone willing to give him at least six figures for this. This man is lucky he didn't kill Britney though. How many of us would go crazy like that if we were given excessive amounts of psychiatric drugs in random combinations against our knowledge or will? Psychiatric medication can be life-saving when it's prescribed and used properly, but this guy just mashed up handfuls of pills and fed them to Britney. That would make anyone lose it. Yes Britney has mental health issues, which made her more vulnerable to this creep, but that just means her past exploits should be kept private. We learned enough about her problems at the time she went through the worst of them. I hope she can just move on with her life. This guy should have been prosecuted for what he did to her and not be rewarded with a book deal.
