Is Britney Sick Of Her Dad Running Her Life?

There's always drama with Britney Spears, even when she's out of town! Yesterday afternoon, Jamie Spears' attorney Blair Berk and Sam Lutfi's sister Christina appeared in a Los Angeles courtroom, and it seemed to be a battle of words over what the pop princess really wants when it comes to Sam Lutfi and that restraining order.

Christina told the court:

"[Britney] told me she wanted to get a hold of Sam. She wanted him to help her find a lawyer, and wanted someone to get a prepaid cell phone to her. She was scared because her father was blackmailing her with visitation rights over her kids."

Britney reportedly called Sam in mid-January to speak with Christina, and the two arranged a meeting at the Peninsula Hotel on January 16. Britney was able to ditch her bodyguard for a short period of time, and she met with Sam's younger sister in a sauna. It was then that Christina gave Britney a cell phone, saying it was from Sam and ex-boyfriend Adnan Ghalib. Christina said Britney asked her, "Will Sam be able to help me?"

On the other hand, Blair Berk talked about Britney's desire to keep Sam OUT of her life, saying, “She repeatedly asked if I could get him arrested for what he’d done to her and get the court to order him to stay away from her."

According to Access Hollywood, Berk also claimed that Lutfi threatened to release embarrassing information about Britney and her dad if Berk did not stop such information being released about him.

The court will hear closing arguments for the case on Tuesday April 21st, and the restraining order against Sam has been extended until then as well.

Hmm, wonder what Britney really wants? Do you think she misses being able to call whomever she pleases? It must suck to be 27 years old and have your father monitor your every move!
