The sordid saga continues...

Britney's Mom: Sam Lutfi Drugged My Daughter

Britney Spears's mother accused Sam Lutfi of drugging the singer and verbally abusing her, according to a request for a temporary restraining order against Lutfi.

The request, which was granted, also gives a detailed description of the chaotic scene at Spears's house when her mother arrived Jan. 28 for an intervention, with Spears bizarrely talking like a "very young girl" and changing her clothes and her dogs' clothes "many times."

The restraining order, which forbids Lutfi from getting within 250 yards of Spears, her homes, her family's homes and the hospital where she's staying, alleges: "Mr. Lutfi has drugged Britney. He has cut Britney's home phone line and removed her cell phone chargers. He claims to control everything."


Lynne Spears's Allegations
In a six-page declaration, Lynne Spears says that when she and her friend Jackie arrived at her daughter's house, Lutfi – a constant companion of Britney – revealed he was giving her drugs.

"Sam told Jackie and me that he grinds up Britney's pills, which were on the counter and included Risperdol and Seroquel," Lynne says.

[There appears to be no medication called Risperdol. Risperol is a sleeping medication, and Risperdal is an anti-pyschotic drug. Seroquel is prescribed to treat bipolar disorder.]

"He told us that he puts them in her food and that was the reason she had been quiet for the last three days," Lynne continues. "She had been sleeping. He told us that the doctor who is treating her now is trying to get her into a sleep-induced coma so that they could give her drugs to heal her brain."

Lutfi also demanded that Lynne do what he ordered, according to Lynne.

"I'm the one who spends 24/7 with your daughter," Lynne quoted him as saying. "I sleep in cars outside her house so she can't leave." He then allegedly told Lynne: "You people throw everyone under the bus. If you don't listen to me I'm going to make your name s--- in the papers."

Lynne added that Lutfi "told me that if he weren't in the house to give Britney her medicine, she would kill herself. Then he said to me, 'If you try to get rid of me, she'll be dead and I'll piss on her grave."


Sam's Argument with Britney
Lynne claims that Britney and Lutfi had an argument earlier in the evening.

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

Lynne says her daughter was acting strangely.

"Britney ... became very agitated and could not stop moving," says Lynne. "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 with the level of understanding of a very young girl. Britney then picked up a bottle of pills and read part of the label and asked us, 'What does insomnia mean?' Sam told her the pills will help her stay awake."

Three days after the scene at the house, Spears was hospitalized at UCLA Medical Center's psych ward and is under a 14-day forced hold. Her father Jamie Spears and a lawyer have been granted temporary control of her affairs.

Restraining Order Claims Sam Drugged Brit - TMZ.com - Entertainment News, Celebrity Gossip and Hollywood Rumors

Restraining Order Claims Sam Drugged Brit
Posted Feb 5th 2008 3:03PM by TMZ Staff

TMZ has obtained a copy of the restraining order issued last Friday in the Britney Spears saga. We've reported on the order but we just got a hard copy. The documents allege Lutfi drugged Britney.

The order requires Lutfi to stay 250 yards away from Britney, UCLA Medical Center, her parents' homes, siblings' homes, childrens' homes and Britney's homes.

According to the document, "He has cut Britney's home phone line and removed her cell phone chargers. He yells at her. He claims to control everything."

According to a declaration filed by Lynne Spears, on January 28, Lynne and Jamie arrived for an intervention -- "Sam had told Britney that 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 the kids."

The documents claim Sam said, "Adnan is gay ... Britney came into the room looking for Adnan ... Britney then asked me, 'Is Adnan gay?"

At one point, Britney "picked up a bottle of pills and read part of the label and asked us, 'What does insomnia mean?' Sam told her that the pills will help her stay awake." Lynne continues, "Sam told Jackie and me that he grinds up Britney's pills, which were on the counter and included Risperdal (an anti-psychotic drug for schizophrenia and bipolarity) and Seroquel." The docs continue, "He told us that the doctor who is treating her now is trying to get her into a sleep-induced coma so that they could then give her drugs to heal her brain."

According to the docs, Sam then encouraged Brit "to do tequila shots." The document then claims Sam said, "let's all do toasts with wine." Brit refused to drink.

Lynne claims before leaving for the drug store that night, Sam gave her drugs upstairs "to make her more light-hearted, happy, and fun."

During a dispute later that night, Sam allegedly said, "If you try to get rid of me, she'll be dead and I'll piss on her grave."

The docs claim Brit "changed her three dogs' clothes many times" in an agitated state."

Brit said, "Can I see another psychiatrist so I can see my babies?" Sam responded, "If I told you to take 10 pills a day, you should do what I tell you to see your babies."

At one point, Brit allegedly said, "I want my Daddy up here. I want to talk to my Daddy."

Barefootdyke is right ... So in other words, the Spears family contends that Sam is a Howard K Stern wannabe ... but they hope to be smarter and faster about taking her back than Anna Nicole's family was.

I can't really see the anna nicole/stern analogy, barefootdyke, althought I understand what you mean. To me, the situations are just too different.

On another point, though, I just want to say that although I have no doubt Lutfi was giving her drugs (though I have my doubts as to whether she was a knowing or unknowing and willing participant), I also have no doubt she took plenty on her own accord, both before he entered her life and since. Britney is not an innocent victim in this saga that's been going on for over a year, let's not forget that. Lutfi is a contributor, but by no means the beginning or sole cause of the trainwreck. Hopefully, Britney's parents don't get caught up in thinking that, or they'll only be trying to get partial treatment for her. There's a much bigger picture here than just Osama Lutfi.

This is a pretty sad article to read.... making Britney sound more and more like a little girl lost.

People.com

Britney Spears's father has recounted a heartbreaking meeting with his confused daughter as she struggled to cope in a psychiatric hospital.

"Come on, daddy, let's get out of here. Take my hand and let's walk out of here together," Britney said, according to Jamie Spears.

Jamie told her daughter: "I wish I could, but I can't."

In court papers filed as part of his effort to take over his daughter's affairs, Jamie Spears described how he arrived at UCLA Medical Center on Sunday. Britney had called him several times while he was working as a caterer for a Super Bowl party, urging him to see her. (Click here to view the complete document.)

Jamie Spears, who had spent several hours with Britney the day before at the hospital, found his daughter lying in bed. He leaned over to kiss her, but she turned her head away.

"I love you," he told her.

"No, you don't," said Britney. She got out of bed and said, "The doctor told me you are keeping me in here."

Jamie Spears denied it, but Britney insisted, saying, "Somebody's lying. You put me in here."

After the nurse assured Britney that, "Your daddy is not keeping you here; the hospital is keeping you here," Britney turned to her father. That was when she pleaded to leave – and her father said they couldn't.

When Britney became agitated, her father started talking about her sons Jayden and Preston, now in the custody of their father, Kevin Federline.

"Do you want me to help you get your babies back?" he asked her.

Britney, "No, I have new lawyers that will help me with my stuff."

But her father had to tell her that she had not actually fired her custody lawyers, and that there were now new lawyers involved in dealing with her affairs. Jamie said that if she needed help with the custody case, he would be there for her.

The conversation ended with Britney saying that her pal Sam Lutfi had wrongfully taken some of her property and she asked her father for help to get it back. Her father said he would.

She's not in her right mind so any decisions she makes now are null and void, right?
It's probably why i laughed off Streisand's sibling trying to be her attorney. She isn't of sound mind to be making any decisions so...

[Krom]

I dunno.

This sound like a weird situation with two wrong sides.

I mean Sam is clearly inserting himself into the Howard K. Stern position as I've been saying all along he would. But there seems to be a possibility that some of these reactions from him were badly executed attempts to get Britney back on track. I mean what have we all been saying for months? That maybe she needed to be on anti-psychotic drugs. And then we get this story obviously from the Spears camp spinning him giving Britney anti-psychotic drugs as if its wrong.

The story claims that Sam yelled at Britney that 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 the kids. Well face it. We've been saying the same things.

I'm not defending Sam here. He's garbage and only out for himself. Sam let things go too far with Britney and then took radical last minute actions to try and control the situation. For that alone he should be beat senseless. But I recognize spin from the other camp when I see it. Sam's miserable conduct is mainly that HE clearly insisted on trying to "fix" the situation himself. The statements about how the pills were intended "to make her more light-hearted, happy, and fun" seem almost like how you'd explain them to a child. With Britney as the child.

As for the "if you try to get rid of me, she'll be dead and I'll piss on her grave", we have to remember this is Lynne reporting this. Part of me believes that Sam said this, but another part is like... "isn't this exactly how someone would spin things if they wanted Sam gone?"

This is a power struggle I think. With two sides who may both have agendas that might not be completely in Britney's interest. What she NEEDED was a court appointed INDEPENDENT guardian. This is less a repeat of the Anna Nicole situation than it is of the guardianship of Anna's kid--again with Britney in the role of the kid.
