Britney Spears’ former manager Sam Lutfi, who sued the pop star in 2009 claiming breach of contract and defamation, is now trying to force her to testify at an upcoming hearing on the basis of her turn on the ‘X Factor USA.’ Lutfi, who filed suit against the 30-year-old singer and her parents, James andLynne Spears, is preparing to go to trial this fall.
Since the ‘Toxic’ hitmaker is raking in $15 million on the Fox show, the talent manager claims that Britney can no longer claim she’s crazy. In the paperwork Lutfi says Britney is definitely competent enough to testify in court; otherwise she wouldn’t be sitting next to Simon Cowell judging a hit show.
Lutfi had filed papers at Los Angeles County Superior Court on Thursday, asking a judge to request Spears’ conservators to make her available as a witness.
He reportedly wants to want to see Spears grilled about alleged defamatory statements that her parents made about him, including claims that he drugged her and cut her phone wires to keep her away from her family.
And also want Spears questioned about an alleged management contract guaranteeing him a slice of her fortune.
According to the filing, Spears’ conservators argued that she is not mentally competent enough to testify as a witness.
Lutfi is said to have included a DVD of Spears on the show in order to prove that’s not the case, arguing the footage shows Spears is both articulate and competent, and should thus be capable to give her testimony.
A hearing is scheduled for September 25, and a judge has yet to rule on Lutfi’s request.
