Jamie Spears Calls Sam Lutfi a “Predator”

 February 23rd, 2009 5:29 pm / Author: OK! Staff

In a rare open-court hearing this afternoon, Britney Spears'
father Jamie Spears testified against her former constant
companion, Sam Lutfi, whom he labeled as a "predator" and "very
dangerous."

The testimony from Papa Spears was part of a hearing to determine
whether or not restraining orders against Lutfi and Brit's
ex-boyfriend, photographer Adnan Ghalib, should be extended. The
actual hearing isn't until Wednesday, but Jamie testified today
because he will be out of town.

In his testimony, Brit's dad recalled how he discovered how he
believes that Sam, who has been forbidden from contacting the pop
star for almost a year, was keeping in touch with her.

According to Jamie, Britney's nanny discovered the singer talking
on a cell phone in her room during the wee hours of the night.
Problem is — Brit-Brit is not allowed to have a cell phone. She
must use either her father's phone or the house phone.

So when his daughter was away from the house one day, he had her
head of security go through Britney's purse, where he discovered
a prepaid Nokia cell phone. He then confronted her with discovery
and she explained that someone had given it to her while she was
at the Peninsula Hotel. Per Jamie's testimony, the person handed
it to Brit and said, "This is from Sam and Adnan. Take the phone."

Perusing the numbers on the phone, Jamie saw several calls to
people he believed to be Sam — using the code name "CityGalN310"
— and Adnan, who supposedly used the code name "Ruba."

On Jan. 10, Sam, using the CityGalN310 name, allegedly sent
several texts to Jamie before ultimately calling him on the phone.

"Sam wanted to know if her could help me in any way," Jamie told
the court. "He began to cry and fall apart. His mother and family
is very upset because I had given him a bad name."

About the texts, Jamie testified, "They were very disturbing.
They felt like a threat... like someone was trying to extort my
daughter."

And Brit's dad wasn't done with the harsh talk, as he then
described Lutfi as a "predator... He's very dangerous to my
daughter, controling. He causes her a lot of anguish and
disbelief in her mind and that she's lost without him."

While Adnan was neither present at the hearing, nor did he send
legal representation, Sam's lawyer Brian Freedman maintained that
his client is not a threat, that there's no evidence at this
point that CityGal is indeed Sam or that his client had even
called Britney in the first place.

During a break in the hearing, Freedman told OK! that restraining
orders were "created for stalkers, but there isn't anything in
Jamie's testimony or in the court papers that prove Sam and
Britney even had one actual confirmed phone conversation. It's
hard to prove 'harrassment' if you can't prove they've even
talked once in 11 months."
