Britney Spears’ dad seek to permanently restrain her former friends
Britney Spears‘ dad Jamie Spears has reportedly had a restraining order against Britney’s former friends extended and is requesting that the ruling is made permanent for the sake of Britney’s ongoing recovery.
After his appointment to the role of Britney’s conservator a year ago, one of Jamie’s first actions was to ban Britney’s friend and advisor Sam Lutfi from contacting the star or any of her family. Sam initially agreed to the terms but started fighting the order when it was extended at the start of this month. The order now also prevents Britney’s one-time paparazzi boyfriend Adnan Ghalib from contacting her after claims Sam and Adnan were colluding in an attempt to disrupt Britney’s recovery.
Speaking at a hearing in Los Angeles yesterday, Jamie told the court: “When [Lutfi] was in so-called control, she’d lost everything - her kids and career.
“I believe he’s a predator, I believe he’s very dangerous to her… and causes her a lot of anguish and disbelief.
“We’ve asked him to go away before, and now he’s coming back. We just want the man to go away. Just leave us alone.”
He explained that the new request for a permanent restraining order is being made after her security team found a pre-paid mobile phone in Britney’s possession, allegedly from Sam and Adnan, and which she used to talk to the men. Under her conservatorship, Britney is not allowed her own mobile phone and instead must use either Jamie’s phone or her house phone line.
He also explained that Sam sparked the custody stand-off at Britney’s Studio City home in January 2008, which needed police intervention and resulted in her first hospitalisation on a mental health hold: “She was told by Lutfi she could have her children for another night. [So when Kevin Federline’s bodyguard came to collect them] she didn’t want to let her kids go because she thought she could have them for another night.
“[With Sam around, her life] was pretty well a disaster. She had nothing going on, just mostly [being] in the tabloids. [Now she’s] very stable, making her meetings, taking care of her babies, doing things she’s supposed to do.”
The temporary order against Sam and Adnan has been extended until the end of the hearing on Wednesday so that the court can hear from other witnesses.
