{{Britney Spears’ mother has claimed her daughter’s former manager crushed drugs into the singer’s food.}}<\/p>\n
Lynne Spears has told a US court that Osama ‘Sam’ Lufti admitted to her that he did it five years ago to help the star sleep.<\/p>\n
At the time, Britney was going through a public meltdown where she shaved her head, temporarily lost custody of her children and was briefly hospitalised.<\/p>\n
Lufti is suing Britney’s mother, saying she wrote lies about him.<\/p>\n
Lynne Spears has been giving evidence in her defence.<\/p>\n
On the claims Britney’s food was drugged in 2007, Lynne Spears told the court: “Those were his exact words.”<\/p>\n
“I was very worried and I didn’t know what to do so I tried to get her away from there.”<\/p>\n
She also claims Lufti cut off Britney’s communication by detaching her phone lines.<\/p>\n
On cross-examination, Lynne Spears said that despite her worry about Britney she didn’t call police.<\/p>\n
She also admitted that she was estranged from her daughter for a brief period in 2007 and Lufti told her he wanted to help reunite them.<\/p>\n
The accusations refer to the year Lufti said he was Spears’ manager, before he was let go from her team in 2008.<\/p>\n
Lufti is suing the star’s parents and Britney herself. He says Lynne Spears made damaging claims about him in her 2008 book ‘Through the Storm’.<\/p>\n
He is also suing Jamie Spears, the singer’s father, for punching him.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
