Miss Movin' On: Britney Settles Lawsuit With Sam Lutfi

[Jordan Miller]

Britney settled a seven-year long lawsuit with self-proclaimed ex manager Sam Lutfi.

The Glory singer took a huge stride towards putting the past behind her. After years of back and forth between the Spears family / legal team and Lutfi, their legal dispute reached a settlement.

TMZ reports Britney paid Lutfi, who was suing her and her family for defamation (among other things), "in the low 6 figures," but less than what it'd cost her in legal fees to defend the suit (around $500,000).

A judge tossed his suit in 2012 because she felt there wasn't sufficient evidence to send to the jury, but Lutfi appealed. He sued Spears for $960,000, or what he felt he should've earned as Britney's manager during his stint as her representation. He also denied allegations in mom Lynne's book, "Through The Storm," that he gave Britney *****. Lutfi requested Britney's medical records for that time period in an attempt to prove he was a good influence, but the judge denied his request, saying: “I don’t know what I’m supposed to do with that information.”

By Britney settling with Lutfi, she avoids going to trial, which was set to begin in L.A. next month. You might think the pop star paying him any money is a travesty, but look at it this way: a decade-long raincloud over her head has evaporated.

The news follows reports Britney threatened to sue In Touch Weekly and any other publication fabricating stories to make her appear erratic, an image she's worked tirelessly to change for 10 years.

Tall tale, such a damn shame. Hindsight, she can see it all so plain.

Bury the past. 

Let Britney move on

So he gets money? Ew. I would rather pay more money to my lawyers than give any to him. But at least now it's over and Britney can just forget about him finally.

Yeah.  I'm glad she decided to just end this.  It won't be hanging over her head anymore.

I totally agree. Maybe he got money, but at least he won't bother Brit anymore

Glad it's over. He can go choke on Adnan's ****. 

[LBoggie]

He's probably going to be the one they'll contact for the Unauthorized Britney Spears Lifetime movie. 

Anyway, I hope this means that Britney is closer to her freedom.

I'm guessing a non-disclosure agreement was part of this settlement, so he won't be telling them **** unless he wants sued again.

Sam,
You want a hot body? You want a Bugatti? You want a Maserati? You better work *****.
Go call the police, go call the governor
Brit brings the treble, don't mean to trouble ya'
She makes the governor, call her the governor
She is the bad *****, the ***** that you'll never know
