Britney afraid of her father, court hears

THE sister of Britney Spears’ former manager told a Los Angeles court that the pop singer said in recent months that she was afraid of her father and wanted help hiring her own lawyer.

Lawyers for Spears’ father and conservatorship are seeking a long-standing restraining order against Osama “Sam” Lutfi, a manager and close confidant of the singer during her personal meltdown, that forbids him from contacting her.

They reiterated that in December and January, Lutfi broke an agreement between him and Jamie Spears not to contact the singer.
