Lutfi Trial Will Go On

As I mentioned previously, Osama Lutfi as well as Jon Eardley have both been slapped with restraining orders for trying to undermine the conservatorship – which Lutfi is appealing. Neither can have any contact with Britney or any of her immediate family for the next 3 years – but that won’t stop Lutfi’s trial from going forward.

For those who don’t remember:
In February Lutfi filed a lawsuit against a number of the Spears clan – Britney’s mom Lynne for defamation of character in regard to her book Through the Storm, her dad Jamie for alleged assault in January 2008, and Britney herself for “management fees” he claims he is owed.

Well according to ContraCostaTimes, the trial has been postponed until next year. Quote:
“Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Zaven V. Sinanian scheduled the trial of Osama ‘Sam’ Lutfi's lawsuit for March 8, 2010. Attorneys for Jamie Spears, the singer's father, said his client is considering bringing a countersuit, while a lawyer for Lynne Spears, the entertainer's mother, said he may seek to dismiss the defamation claim against her on grounds it interferes with her free- speech rights. However, attorneys on all sides also told the judge they will see if the case can be resolved with the help of a private mediator.”

If he can prove that Lynne fabricated that chapter in her book, and that Jamie did in fact assault him – then by all means go on and get what you can out of them. What would be great though is if people stopped trying to take advantage of Britney and her money. She’s worked hard for it and should be able to have it for her boys and any future family she may have. It really is unacceptable that Lutfi continues to try and suck money out of the situation, but what’s worse is that her own father is taking $18 000 a month and more of her hard-earned cash to pretty much be a father. It’s a warped situation.

Let’s hope they settle out of court, if for no other reason than to keep the stress out of Britney's life – and save her some more legal bills!
