Britney's manager drugged her

Britney Spears was drugged and had her phone lines cut by manager and friend Sam Lufti, her mother has alleged.

Lynne Spears also claims he told the singer the only way she could see her her children was to take pills he ordered her to.

A restraining order placed on Lufti by Britney’s parents also states that he has taken over Britney’s home, life and finances.

The papers, which order him to stay 250 yards away from the troubled star and her houses, state: ‘Mr Lutfi drugged Britney, cut her phone lines and removed her cell phone chargers.’

Lufti himself has shrugged off the order, telling one magazine: ‘It won’t last.’

According to Lynne, when Britney asked Lufti what she should do to see her children, he replied: ‘Take the pills I tell you to take.

‘If I told you to take 10 pills a day, you should do what I tell you to see your babies.’

In the declaration filed on 28 January, Lynne also stated: ‘Sam told Britney she was an unfit mother, a piece of trash and a whore.’ She also claimed the he ‘grinds up Britney’s pills’.

The singer’s dad, Jamie, and a lawyer will have conservatorship over her affairs until 14 February, when a hearing will be held to review it.

why have her family left it so long before helping her?
she needs help and has no one to trust. if someone in my street had a breakdown and was taken away people would be sympathetic , if everyone started sticking cameras in their face there would be outrage so why is it acceptable to treat britney this way.

I have liked Britney Spears since she appeared on the screen, and have seen her go from a pretty, confident girl, to what she is today.
I feel so sorry for her, i would love to meet her and try and help her get through some hard times. what britney needs is space and real friends and family around her. She needs the time and space to feel what she is feeling and grieve and to do it out of the public eye, Cause at the moment every step she takes their are people there ready to catch her mistakes and the thing is i know people are out to make money but sometimes they have to step back and realise that peoples health is so much more important.
Give her some space leave her alone and let her get back to the Britney Spears we all know and love. xx Leanne
