Sam Lutfi’s side of the story
Sam Lutfi is fighting back against the restraining order extended by a Los Angeles Superior Court judge today. The ex-manager said that he is not a threat to her safety and denies harassing Spears.
In fact, the one-time-confidant says it’s the other way around – that Britney has been reaching out to him, sending text messages despite the restraining order.
Court documents filed Friday affirm that Lutfi passed messages to the singer through her hairdresser and others, including ex-boyfriend and paparazzo Adnan Ghalib. He claimed those messages weren’t harmful in any way.
“I have not, in any alleged communications with Britney, her hairdresser or any other person, threatened any act of violence against Britney or her family,” he stated in the papers. Lutfi is suing the Spears family for defamation and battery.
Lutfi allegedly sent a text message to the hairdresser saying, “I’ve done everything I can to free her from )the conservatorship). Very close to getting her free now.”
“I don’t think anyone would want to have on public record allegations of behavior that weren’t committed,” Lutfi’s lawyer Bryan Freedman told PEOPLE. “A restraining order to is protect someone against stalkers and people who want to commit violence, and that description doesn’t fit my client.”
Lutfi’s lawyer argues in the filing that Spears and her father, Jamie, haven’t provided evidence of any emotional distress from Lutfi’s indirect contact.
In his request for the restraining orders, daddy dearest accused Lutfi of working with Ghalib and a lawyer to “disrupt the conservatorship with utter disregard for Ms. Spears’s health and well being.”
