Celebrity Justice
Holy S**t -- Lutfi Sleeping with the Enemy!!!

TMZ has learned Sam Lutfi, the man who is legally required to stay away from Brit, is counterattacking, with the help of ... drum roll please ... Michael Sands, the former media consultant for K-Daddy's lawyer, Mark Vincent Kaplan.
Sam, Michael
Sands, who knows a thing or two about crisis management, has been brought on board by Lutfi to, as Lutfi put it to us, "set the record straight" about who he is.

Sands cryptically told TMZ, "I'm honored to work with a patriot like Sam Lutfi." BTW, while Sands worked for Kaplan, his mission was partly to dig up dirt on Brit's former manager.

For his part, Lutfi told TMZ, "Michael did his research and found the truth."

Stay tuned

16. Why the FU*K is Sam Lufti of any importance besides someone helping to keep his no good low down ass away from Britney?

For someone who dodges the law as much as he does, he's quick to run to the media when it benefits him. Make him go away.

18. Nobody could make this stuff up...right? somehow I think this is all engineered by Britney herself just to keep herself in the limelight. What else does she have, loser that she is. Spoiled Brat.

19. Maybe Sands found more than the 3 restraining orders Lufti has against him, bet that's the truth! How many people do you know who have multiple restraining orders against them? This loser is bad news.

20. Ya know, this could be Sam's clever ploy to make Spears think he can help her in the custody case, by having *insider* information on Federline and his attorney. It's all very sad. I wish TMZ would leave it alone, but even as I write, here I've been looking for information.

22. Gee! We know what the truth is Sam! You are in it for the money! Now Sands is in it for the money! You guys make me sick. Go out and get real jobs and become real men and all of you stop leaching off of rich women! Waah! All of you are Pathetic Assh*le Losers!! Have some respect for yourself Sam and leave now quietly! You are making a huge fool of yourselves bigger than you and the boys were trying to do to Britney!

23. Where is Sam getting the money to pay for this? Perhaps he's still blackmailing former friends and their families or has sold some of the objects that are "missing" from Britney's house.

25. Well, I said several days ago that she will be out this week. No surprise. This is a completely free society and a person can't be held against their will unless they are overtly suicidal or violent. I'm pissed of at Brit. It is a damn shame she has two parents who obviously care about her and are willing to go to these extremes to help, but she just thumbs her nose at them. And for anyone thinking her parents did this for money. NO. There was an independent attorney appointed to oversee the process as her parents damn well knew there would be before this whole fiasco even started. Her parents wanted to help her and protect her wealth from the circling heyenas. Can't blame them. In my 39 years I have seen so many parents turn a blind eye to their child's extreme problems. At least they tried to help. Brit's on her own now. Kudos to Jaime and Lynn for sincerely trying.

28. Who is this Lufti guy anyway???? he's a controlling jerk and needs to get a real job instead of living off someone else claiming he's a manager...my x husband was just like him and beat on me...he seems like he's a few steps away from that with Brit himself. Hang it up Sammy and leave the girl alone hope she has gotten enough help and backbone to tell you to get the hell lost!!!! Ya big jerk!!!

29. PLEEEEEEASE - GET HIM OFF OUR SCREENS. IT WOULD TAKE MORE THAN THE WIZARD OF OZ TO MAKE ANYONE CHANGE THEIR MIND ABOUT SAM.

Though I actually want to see HOW someone is going to try to cover his abuse up!
Sands just proves: it's all about money.

30. Osama "Sam" Lufti, is a disgustiing human being...this guy has how many restraining orders? And if you read the basis of all those restraining orders, they tend to all have them say tone..that this is a guy who is abusive, verbally & mentally to people who get in his way, or when he does not get his way. People like him dont deserve to exsist!
