Ex-manager drags Britney to court for defamation

New Delhi: Britney Spears' former manager Osama "Sam" Lutfi has filed suit against the singer and her parents, accusing them of libel and defamation.

The manager who was once a friend of Britney's, filed a suit which does not seek a specific dollar amount, but provides pages of Lutfi's version of events, including his claim that he urged the singer to reconcile with her parents and that he was acting in her best interests.

According to the Associated Press (AP), "The lawsuit provides pages of Lutfi's version of events, including his claim that he urged the singer to reconcile with her parents."

The lawsuit comes just three days after Spears obtained restraining order against Lutfi on the grounds that he has been trying to disrupt the conservatorship which gives her father control of her affairs.
