The 38-year-old was born Osama Lutfi in Panorama City, Calif., in the San Fernando Valley, and grew up in nearby Woodland Hills.

Was he, as he maintains, a concerned friend and manager who urged the Grammy winner to get off drugs and reconcile with her family? Or is he, as Spears’s parents assert, an opportunistic Svengali figure who controlled a vulnerable young woman’s life? It will be the jury’s job to decide if Lutfi is a “scapegoat” or a “puppet master,” as each party has claimed. He has also filed a battery claim against her father, stemming from an incident at Britney Spears’s house in which Lutfi says Jamie Parnell Spears punched him in the solar plexus. Lutfi, who claims he worked as the pop star’s manager for a few months, has sued her for breach of contract. Lutfi responded by filing a lawsuit in 2009 against Britney Spears and her parents, and the trial is now unfolding in Los Angeles Superior Court. Later that year, Lynne Spears published a memoir, Through the Storm: A Real Story of Fame and Family in a Tabloid World, that included three chapters about Lutfi, in which she called him a “predator” and accused him of drugging her daughter and controlling every aspect of her life. Spears’s parents said they were worried about Lutfi’s hold on their daughter, and took actions to protect her through a conservatorship and a restraining order on Feb. News reports trickled out of restraining orders against Lutfi, revealing allegedly violent tendencies, financial problems, and his dubious track record in the entertainment industry.
