Britney Spears’ former manager hopes to rekindle his friendship with the troubled singer.

Sam Lutfi was prevented from seeing Britney after her parents took a
restraining order out against him following her breakdown earlier this year,
believing he was a negative influence on the ‘Toxic’ singer.
Sam is due in court for a review of the order – which forbids him from being
closer than 250 yards away from the star - on July 31 and is said to be
hopeful it will be lifted.
A source told In Touch Weekly magazine: “Sam believes that he and Britney
are still friends. If the restraining order is lifted, he’ll be back in her
life for sure.”
According to the insider, Sam still denies allegations made by Britney’s
mother Lynne that he drugged the singer and controlled her medications.
The source added: “Sam insists it will come out that the restraining order
was against the wrong guy. So lifting the order would give him the chance to
protect Britney from the vultures out there.”
Sam is due in court the same day Britney’s father’s co-conservator role is
set to be reviewed.
