Britney Spears seems to have recovered from her unstable ways in the past, but now, thanks to Brit’s parents, that will rise to the surface again in a new legal battle. 
 
 Britney Spears’ ex-manager, Sam Lutfi, is suing Britney’s mom Lynne Spears for defamation. Lynne wrote in her memoir, ‘Through the Storm,’ that Lufti was responsible for cutting off her family’s communication with their daughter and over-influencing the Britney in a negative way. 
 
 Lutfi and his legal team have asked Spears to testify to the fact that he was not the manipulating force behind the pop queen’s breakdown. But Spears’ parents believe their daughter is not mentally capable of giving a deposition. But not taking no for an answer, Lutfi has demanded that a judge order Spears to undergo a psychiatric exam to prove her lucidity. 
 
 Britney Spears’ father, James Parnell Spears, remains in control of her conservatorship, and doesn’t want his daughter anywhere near Lutfi. But with evidence in the form of Spears’ recent Tv and radio interviews, Lutfi believes that she is more than capable of speaking her mind.
– Remember crazy Britney Spears? She seems to have been tootling along rather well. But apparently she's still a tad mentally incapacitated. That's what her parents are arguing in court as they battle a lawsuit from booted manager Sam Lutfi, reports KSFM. He's suing Brit's mom, Lynne, for defamation for writing in her book that he isolated the pop star from her parents and was a major negative influence. He's seeking a deposition from Britney to prove that wasn't the case. Now Britney's parents are trying to convince a judge that she's not mentally capable of giving a deposition, reports Billboard. Lutfi is demanding a shrink exam to prove it. Stay tuned.
