Sam Lutfi lost his shit today after TMZ ran a story claiming Britney Spears’ mother Lynne thought he was poison to her daughter. The family reportedly wanted to stage an intervention in an effort to force Britney to get help for her mental issues, but Sam broke that shit up.
As TMZ first reported, the family is staging an intervention so Britney can get help for her bipolar disorder. Family sources say they are furious at Lutfi, claiming he pushed Brit into going to B.H. Mercedes today to buy a new car — in the middle of the effort to save her.
One source says the family believes Lutfi has been a “counterproductive, disquieting force” who has done nothing but harm.
Sam apparently reads TMZ on the regular, because shortly after that story went up, he called TMZ editor Harvey Levin and complained he was the one helping Britney, not her family. A docile Britney remained on the line with Sam and Harvey.
Lutfi said there was no intervention last night, but then said Britney’s family “barged in.” For the record, the family is staging an intervention and Lutfi has been kept in the dark.
Lutfi said of the family, “They have an agenda. Their agenda is jealously because they don’t fit in. I do. They see her three times a year.”
Britney was by the phone during Lutfi’s conversation with Levin. Lutfi claimed he did not force Britney to buy a car, asking Brit, “Did I force you to buy a car.” In a heavy southern accent she responded, “No.” He continued, “Do I ever bug you.” She replied, “We argue.”
Lutfi said Britney’s mom is fine with him — it’s her dad who’s a problem. Family sources tell TMZ that’s baloney — both Lynne and Jamie “are on the same page,” feeling like Sam is a “megalomaniac” who is motivated by “evil.”
Pure craziness, dudes. After reading that shit about Sam earlier this morning, I wouldn’t want homeboy anywhere near me.

That guy is pretty damn creepy. I wonder if he’s really a main part of her problems or if they’re just laying the blame on him so that they can absolve their daughter and say he had her “under his control” or something.

Without absolving her of anything, I think he is part of the problem after what I read earlier today. I still think she would be batshit crazy, but he certainly isn’t helping matters, and is probably making them worse.
