Sam
Lutfi Not Bothered by Britney Spears Restraining Order
2/6/08
Britney Spears' longtime companion/manager Sam Lutfi is unfazed by her
parents' attempts to keep him away from the star - because he is confident
their power struggle will soon be over.
The singer's father Jamie was granted temporary conservatorship of her
medical, financial and legal affairs last Friday (01Feb08) after Britney
was committed to Los Angeles' UCLA Medical Center for psychiatric
evaluation.
Jamie immediately imposed a 21-day restraining order against Lutfi, and
in a court hearing on Monday (04Feb08) he was banned from having any
contact with the pop star.
But Lutfi has dismissed Jamie and his ex-wife Lynne's attempts to
separate him from their troubled daughter.
He tells Us Magazine, "It won't last. They're never gonna be able
to rule her forever."
Britney is reportedly unhappy at the appointment of her dad Jamie as
conservator and at Monday's court hearing, her lawyer Adam Streisand
attempted to have the ruling overturned, claiming the decision has been
causing her "more agitation and distress".
However, his bid was thrown out of court and Jamie Spears will remain
in charge of her various legal affairs until 14 February (08), when a
further hearing has been scheduled.
