Brit's Pal Grilled Like a Cheeseburger

Sources tell TMZ K-Daddy's lawyer, Mark Vincent Kaplan, was all over Sam Lutfi, Brit's close friend, like white on rice during his deposition today.Britney & Sam
We're told the depo, which ended just before 6:00 PM, covered a wide range of issues. Sources say Kaplan asked about the meds Brit takes, where she goes, what she does at home, what she drinks, and on and on.

Kaplan also asked Lutfi about his relationship with the photo agency X17 and specifically whether he and Brit have a financial deal where they help X17 get pics of Brit and in return get moolah. X17 has denied there's any deal.

We're told Kaplan asked Lutfi about his income and where he gets it, how he supports himself, etc. We're also told Kaplan asked him about six lawsuits in which he was reportedly sued. We're told Lutfi answered that most of those suits were against his father.

166. Asking Lutfi about the meds Brit takes is BS. That question is out of line. Even if Lutfi has handled Brit's meds and is aware of what those meds are, he can no more legally disclose what meds Britney takes than the doctor who prescribed them or the pharmacist who dispensed them, not without risk of being sued, not unless Kaplan has presented Lutfi with Britney's signed authorization to disclose her medical information. Privacy rules under the HIPAA law was passed to protect the privacy of personal health information and it is unethical and possibly unlawful to ask Lutfi what meds Brit takes. I assume Brit's lawyer was present to object to questions that are out of line and have cross-examination questions at this deposition since Lutfi was subpoenaed to give testimony against Britney. So I doubt Lutfi answered questions about Brit's meds. As for the other questions? I'm sure Lutfi is smart enough to bop-and-weave, smart enough to only tell them what he wants to tell them, smart enough to play stupid and answer with the usual non-answer answers. I doubt if Kaplan got anything useful out of Lutfi or made any gains in evidence against Brit today. But then all-in-all, Kaplan did have a gainful day. Financially!

173. K-Fed is a money whore and is in it ONLY for the money. He wants those kids about as much as he wants crap. He wants Brit's MONEY. His whore lawyer doing his song and dance with this man is only for the MONEY. He cares nothing about the kids, K-fed, or anything other than the MONEY. All any of you want is the MONEY. Either because you want it or you are pissed because you don't have it and can't get it. MONEY, is what these brit haters want. They are jealous that they are so worthless that they can't get any MONEY like brit has and has earned. They are self haters for being so worthless. SO, THEY HATE BRIT. HOW adult!

178. BRITNEY SUCKS!! We are sick of hearing constantly about this lip synching, no good piece of trash that actually calls herself a mom.
Just leave her alone, I know she doesn't want to be left alone cause she loves the attention totally but we are sick of hearing about her!!!!! NOBODY LIKES HER!

179. K-Fed is just trying to make sure he gets more money. He needs to get a job & help support his kids because Britney should not be responsible for paying out all the money.
Britney, get yourself together girl & fight for your kids!
