Britney Spears is ending her 7 years war with Sam Lutfi her ex-manager who accused her of rampant drug abuse and slandering his name.
Lutfi and Spears reached the settlement agreement late last week. According to documents obtained by sources familiar with the situation says Britney paid Lutfi "in the low 6 figures," but less than the
estimated $500,000 in legal fees it would have cost her to defend the lawsuit.
Lutfi filed the defamation case against Britney and her family back in 2009, claiming the entire Spears clan was bad-mouthing him and blamed him for her downfall after she was hospitalized in 2008. Lutfi claimed they were out of line because the real problem was Britney's drug abuse, which he tried to stop.
A judge tossed his case in 2012, but Lutfi appealed and got a second bite of the apple. A trial was set to begin in L.A. next month but now seems to be gone in smoke.
