Adnan Ghalib’s sister testifies she snuck cell phone to Britney Spears

Sam Lutfi is bringing out the big guns in his case to beat a restraining order against him, forcing him to stay away from Britney Spears. Sam has long claimed that it’s Britney who’s repeatedly contacted him, begging for his helping in getting out from under dad Jamie Spears’ conservatorship. So who’d he get to testify? His little sister. A rock solid witness who I’m sure has no other motivations and couldn’t possibly be manipulated by Sam. Right.

It seems Britney Spears’s life has gone from soap opera to spy novel. Sam Lutfi’s younger sister Christina testified in a Los Angeles court Wednesday that she recently snuck a cell phone to the pop star at a Beverly Hills hotel – a plan allegedly hatched by Spears herself. Spears, 27, whose phone access is strictly limited by her father Jamie, had initially called Sam’s cell phone number in mid-January to speak with Christina.

“[Britney] told me she wanted to get a hold of Sam,” said Christina, 25, whose brother had once been Spears’s manager. “She wanted him to help her find a lawyer, and wanted someone to get a prepaid cell phone to her. She was scared because her father was blackmailing her with visitation rights over her kids.”

Spears allegedly told Christina to meet her on the fifth floor gym of the Peninsula Hotel on Jan. 16. When Christina arrived, Spears was working out with her mother while a bodyguard stood nearby. But they rendezvoused in a sauna where Christina gave her a phone, saying it was from Sam and ex-boyfriend Adnan Ghalib, which Spears then hid in a locker. “She asked me, ‘Will Sam be able to help me?'” Christina added.

The phone, however, was later discovered by Spears’s security team and confiscated from her purse.

Earlier on Wednesday, Blair Berk, a lawyer for Jamie Spears, testified that Britney “was in such fear [of Sam], she asked if I could get him arrested, to keep him away from her.” As for a purported recording of the pop star circulating the internet in which she allegedly asks for a lawyer’s help in ending her father’s legal control, Berk said the singer repeatedly denied she was seeking outside legal help. Berk also expressed doubt in the recording’s authenticity.

Let’s not forget that Sam Lutfi is the guy who admitted to Lynne Spears – bragged, really – that he consistently drugged Britney by grinding up pills and putting them in her drinks. Britney wasn’t making great choices before he came along, but it’s when Sam started controlling her life that she really went off the rails. There is no reason to believe a word from anyone related to him. I can only imagine the way he must have Svengalied his sister over the years. Enough to make Svengali a verb.

The recording of a supposed Britney asking for a lawyer’s help does sound like her, but it certainly hasn’t been verified. And what the woman on the tape says doesn’t really make any sense. It sounds like she doesn’t know the lawyer she’s leaving the message for, like she just contacted him once prior and was calling to see that everything was done. Obviously in a case like hers she’d need consistent contact with an attorney. It was very general and weird – something about it just seemed off. I wouldn’t put it past Sam Lutfi to have somehow faked it.

I agree that Jamie Spears is controlling, and it can’t be fun for a 27-year-old woman to be forced to behave by her dad. But I’d take a hundred Jamie Spears over one Sam Lutfi any day.

    Your headline reads “Adnan Ghalib…”

  2. 88Modesty88 says:

    I don’t have all the facts, but I think Jamie Spears and Sam Lufti are two sides of the same coin…

    Neither are truly role models, are they?

  3. teehee says:

    Wait who’s sister– Adnan’s or Sam’s??
    Why you got the pic of the other dude… LOL
    Hot as I think he is I think theres a mix up here 🙂

  4. rbsesq says:

    Teehee – Seriously?! I have to squash down my gag reflex everytime I see a picture of him.

  5. Me Too says:

    This article is confusing. Who are you talking about? Adnan or Sam?

  6. jaym says:

    sounds like shes in a prison. no phone, weekly spending allowances, and bodyguards who tell on you. shes a grown woman, how humiliating is that kind of treatment?

    but shes agreed to all this just so she can keep her kids. im starting to feel bad for her…

  7. dovesgate says:

    Of course he uses those babies against her. How else would he get her to do the things she needs to do?

  8. Wow says:

    You know what, if she’s so intent on being with those slim balls, let her. As the saying goes: you can lead a horse to water but you can’t make ’em drink it.

  9. Prissa says:

    I agreen Wow. I mean how long is this conservatorship supposed to last, until she’s 80 and can’t party anymore? If she’s hell bent on destruction, it will happen eventually.

  10. morgs says:

    Nope. I’m done with her. I gave her the benefit of the doubt when she was acting batshitinsane, but I’m over it. I get that her dad is acting like an ass but old girl is NOT doing herself any favors. If she was pulling that shit on me (as her conservator) I would absolutely tell her that if she doesn’t behave she’ll have her kids taken away. What a stupid twat. GROW THE EFF UP BRITNEY!

  11. jUDY says:

    I dont think her dad has a right to be her guardian period. They have mooched off of Brit since she was a child.! From the day she got a contract her parents have been supported by her.
    She pays him 18000.00 a month to tell her who she can talk to on the phone she pays for and what she can eat and if she doesnt do ti his way he will take her kids??? I would get a tape recording of that and take it to the judge. He is blackmailing his own kid just so the money keeps rolling in to support him and momma and brother.
    I think the courts need to find another person to take care of her business .She is not a slave nor is she ill any longer ..she needs to get her life back.

  12. Hieronymus Grex says:

    I thought this ‘loving the bad-boy’ crap stopped after age 18 ? Someone’s going to have to put him in the ground before she’ll stop this poisonous relationship.

  13. Codzilla says:

    rbsesq: Me, too. He’s nauseating. But then again, so is Britney.

  14. hsdh says:

    her taste in men is atrocious, i mean they are old, ugly, and dirt poor oh and mediawhores, why can’t she ever fall for a leading men like leo or toby or even that dude from twilight just anyone with a damn job who is remotelly good looking, her taste is pathetic

  15. Sakota says:

    Chances are it’s going to continue until the court deems her able to take care of herself.

    Her father might have her on a tight leash, but she’s not doing herself any favors or proving she’s able to behave responsibly.

    He’s paid an enormous amount of money to take care of her because he’s trying to keep her from damaging herself further and dragging her kids into it. I don’t know if he has a job of his own, but Jamie is doing his best to keep Britney from completely destroying herself. He’s trying to prevent his daughter from being taken advantage of by these slimeballs and put her career on track.

    Since he’s taken over she’s had a hit song and album and her tour is going great. Before that she was on the verge of possibly having a drug overdose or something worse. Or ending up in a crackhouse. Either way he’s doing a job that isn’t recieving much gratitude.

    Britney Spears. What a tragedy. She’s been a plaything, a robot, a controlled doll since she was a toddler. What she needs is not more control. What she needs is a slow, painful deprogramming from the Cult of Stardom. And her father needs to step aside and get her the help she really needs. So what shes making records. The poor thing has no free will and no mental capacity to handle it when she does. She’s been stripped of the ability since childhood.

  17. I heard she was not able to testify at this trial because she was deemed ‘unable’ by a judge. Its odd to see a national tour of hers going forward, yet she can’t testify due to mental defect?
