It’s nonsense. The homeowners association misplaced two checks. The checks were paid. This is just more lies and misrepresentation about a guy who is a great, caring human being.<\/p>Freedman says.<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\nWell, that’s not entirely true…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
E! News has obtained a copy of a county tax record confirming that Lutfi’s West L.A. condo is in preforeclosure. The record reveals that Brit’s ex-manager received a notice of default in November 2008 after getting behind in his mortgage payments. Currently, Lutfi owes $18,508 on his 3,398 square foot, three-bedroom, five-bathroom condo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Freedman says his client still cares about Spears and only named her in the defamation lawsuit he filed Tuesday for procedural purposes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
‘The real people denying payment have been the conservatorship,’ claims Freedman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As for the restraining order against him, Freedman says Lutfi hasn’t been contacting Britney, but the opposite may be the case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
‘It seems to me maybe [the conservators] should be worried about people contacting Sam instead of Sam contacting her.’<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Freedman also claims it is Spears’ parents, Jamie and Lynne, who look to do Britney harm and not Lutfi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Why would a supposedly loving mother write a tell-all about the sordid details of the two worst nights of her daughter’s life for a profit? And why would a father, who claims his daughter is incompetent, send her on a massive tour when she can’t even manage her own affairs?<\/p>questions the lawman, Bryan Freedman<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\nFreedman says the lawsuit will likely go to court and Brit-Brit’s parents will have to face those questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It just doesn’t make sense unless there’s some sort of motive. At the end of the day, I think there is going to be a trial to determine credibility.<\/p>says Freedman.<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\nNo word yet when Lutfi’s condo could turn into a foreclosure, but a local real estate agent tells E!
