Britney has been the center of a tense power-struggle recently, but now the poor girl can get peace – Late yesterday, LA Superior Court Judge, Aviva Bobb, slapped Sam Lutfi with a withering restraining order that’s good for three years.
Sam and fellow Britney associate, Jon Eardley, a Lawyer who has almost made a career out of testing Daddy Spears’ custodial claims, must now stay at least 100-yards away from the star and her children at all times, and make no attempt to contact her by mail, email or phone.
Brit’s dad, Jamie Spears, applied for the order on January 30th, alleging both men had ‘harassed’ his daughter in various ways, including smuggling a cellphone to her at a hotel so she could make contact with Lutfi behind Daddy’s back.
Mr. Lutfi has already sworn to fight back; Bryan Freedman, his attorney, told reporters; “We will absolutely appeal this ruling. Never before has a restraining order been issued against someone who answered another’s cries for help.”
Sam has a right to appeal, but it could be an uphill task – The order was only issued after numerous hearings in which a positive swarm of Brit’s closest people testified the young starlet was frightened of Lutfi and needed protection. Sam’s chief supporter, his sister Christina, told the court it was Brit who conceived the plan with the cellphone, as she wanted Sam’s help to break out of her father’s relentless control.
Mr. Lutfi, 35, currently has a lawsuit pending against the Spears family for defamation and battery, which may not help his case. And last week, a lawyer appointed by the Court to act on poor Brit’s behalf told the Judge that his client was doing better without Sam around,”The orders against Lutfi are in my client’s best interest. She has suffered emotional distress.” he explained.
This story is not over yet by a mile! The appeal will be filed later this week, so keep checking in and you won’t miss a thing.
