Lutfi Won't Face Off With Brit's Parents in Court

Sam Lutfi tells TMZ he's not going to show up for the court hearing today.

TMZ broke the story about Britney's parents going to court in an attempt to establish a conservatorship. They believe Lutfi is placing their daughter's health and assets at risk.

Lutfi says he is "appalled and disgusted" that the parents have gone to court, adding that "Britney is in control of her assets and her business manager is in control of her assets." Lutfi says his lawyers are discussing his legal options.

Sources say Britney's medical status right now is "gravely disabled."

6. Her parents only get involved with her, when $$ is involved....

On the bright side, she is getting the help she needs, that's always good.

11. Why does Brit's parents think he does have control? There must be more to the story then we know. I hope Brit isn't out by Monday a.m. talking in a strange accent. It isn't funny my son was diagnosed with some sort of schizofrenia and he spoke in a jamaican accent. He thought he was a decendant of some God in the bible. Scary stuff. I know she needs a lot of help. I hope she has a dr. she can have some trust in that can get her the proper meds. Then she needs to stay on them. Do it for your young sons Brit. They need you.

12. Honestly, it's the best thing if the court puts her and her assets in a conservatorship/guardianship. It's dangerous to have a mentally ill person with that many assets running around under God knows whose influence. Her parents are very bright for doing this. The court can appoint a non-interested third party fiduciary to handle the finances so they won't be personally liable. Even if they had "control" over her assets they would still have to answer to the court and there are very strict guidelines involved.
