The Lost Dog

[Blind Gossip] While many people are upset about the lack of control this performer seems to have over her work and her life, there was one point where she lived under an entirely different toxic regime.

A man who was not related to her convinced her that he could help her and make her life much better.

Long story short, he took complete control over her life. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he was a Svengali-type figure.

Here’s one story that illustrates just how manipulative Sven was.

He gradually cut other people out of her life, telling her that they were evil and that he was the only one who cared about her.

Isolating the subject so that they become emotionally dependent on you and only you is a common manipulation technique.

He was also feeding her a lot of pills back then.

That made her even easier to control both personally and professionally.

She had this little dog that she absolutely loved. [Sven] would take the dog and hide it. Then he would go to her and tell her that the dog had escaped and he was really worried that the coyotes had gotten it.

Of course, she would become absolutely hysterical crying!

He would comfort her and tell her, “Tell you what. I’m going to go out and search and I’m not going to stop searching until I find that dog.”

Eventually he would come back with the dog from wherever he had hid it and present it to her.

Of course she was thrilled. She would hug and kiss [Sven] and tell him how happy he had made her and how grateful she was.

[Sven] would go around acting like the big hero who saved the day… when he was the one who hid the dog in the first place! What a manipulative piece of sh*t.

Sven eventually got the boot. However, that’s not the end of the story.

Sven is now trying to reconnect with her, positioning himself as an ally.

It is both fascinating and frightening that Sven (or someone like him] might be successful in worming their way into her life!

[Optional] Do you think she is smart enough to keep people like Sven away from her?

    Britney / Sam Lufti

    My hope is that she will be able to establish some control as her conservatorship is maybe not *removed* but *improved* to get better people in there to help her. I think that if she had qualified people who really cared about rehabilitating her, she might be able to do for herself and become more self-sufficient. Hopefully by that point she’ll be able, with the help of her team, to keep better people around her and make good decisions.

      The saddest thing is that the conservator that her new lawyer is proposing was denied his petition to become his own mom’s conservator. Just a bunch of higher-priced leeches.

      My heart breaks for her💔

    Britney Spears, Sam Lufti

    IMO she will be broke (or worse) in five years. Much of the “free Britney” crowd have probably never been around someone who is mentally ill, and cannot remember how bad things were back in 2008.

    If something tragic happens, that crowd will be the first ones saying her family should have saved her… the same family that they’ve been calling evil and saying they should go away from her.

    • parkland45 says

      This Britney saga keeps getting sadder & sadder. To the “Save Britney” folks: please save your outrage for someone/something that you understand. BS seems to have serious mental issues so she doesn’t need your histrionics that seem to enable her poor judgement. I hope someone outside of her family will replace her father and protect Britney from moochers & hangers on.

    • lila8245 says

      I think it’s less about her being smart than it is about her being inexperienced and naive about life. She became famous when she was either 16 or 17, and then never grew mentally from that age.

  5. sweetpeach says

    And isn’t he busy taking needy and desperate men off the street in Venice, anyway? What an absolute sleazebag

  7. Froggy18736 says

    Obviously Britney Spears. No coincidence that it was just released her dogs were taken away.
    I’m thinking that creep Sam.

  8. lila8245 says

    Britney Spears. Sven is Sam Lufti or Adnan Ghalib.

    I read once that some celebrities remain the age at which that they become famous. That means Britney stopped aging, mentally, at age 16 or 17, an age when most girls are rebelling against their parents, testing boundaries, and thinking they know best. She never quite grew up, and she has a diagnosed mental illness that leads her to make poor decisions, so it’s all a recipe for a disaster in the long run.

    Sam Lufti
    No. It’s pretty clear that she still needs help, but from an unbiased, ethical 3rd party.

  12. Daisy128 says

    “He gradually cut other people out of her life, telling her that they were evil and that he was the only one who cared about her” – It’s like a H&M, but with reverse genders… Anyway… Britney and her boyfriend? If that’s it, “Sven” wasn’t wrong in some way… Her family seems toxic, and greedy…

    Britney Spears and Sam Lufti

    It’s not so much is she smart enough, more is she well enough – and I’m not sure she is

  15. GretaGuesses says

    Britney Spears
    Sam Lutfi

    No, I don’t think Britney is smart enough to protect herself from people like Lutfi. She’s got Asghari now, and I think he may end up being similar.

    Woman Britney Spears
    Sven – that Sam Lofty guy.
    Clue Toxic- a Britney song.
    Wishing Britney the best.
    I was wondering, when her sons turn 18 can they get custody of her?

  19. WillowPotter says

    Lady Gaga
    Ryan Fischer

    I think someone else probably told her the truth about what he was doing or she put two and two together and something didn’t add up I hope she doesn’t he’ll be trying to become executor of her estate in some way. I can’t stand wicked people like this.

  20. peppermint twist says

    Sam Lufty & Britney. She’d be foolish if she let him back into her life. If she gets out of the conservatorship she’s going to end up worse off than she is now. She clearly needs to be under some sort of supervision still, that much has become obvious. I don’t think she is capable of recognising the difference between those who are truly trying to help her and those who are setting her up to go back down the road that got her in this mess in the first place. Either way its not going to end…

  26. aaaKt8 says

    Britney Spears and that Sam Lutfi. Brit has another Sam in her life now. Let’s hope he’ll turn out better that the former Sam. I think she’s too fragile and maybe a bit naive? Fragile people (even smart ones) are easier to trick .

  28. Alllie says

    Brittney spears and sam “I failed you” Lufti, what a scumbag! cant help but think her new boyfriend is a sam 2.0 🙁

  32. Tinkerbell says

    So Sam Lufti would hide Bit-Bit? What a POS!

    And yes Britney is vulnerable to this kind of manipulative con man

  33. katekatekate says

    I think this is Adele (despite Britney being the obvious guess). Why Adele? The “Sven (or someone like him] ” clue, a nod to “Someone Like You.”

  34. stupidtrista says

    Britney Spears and Sam Lufti
    Is she smart enough to keep people like him away? No. She needs massive help. Her IG posts show how wildly out of control her mental health is.
    This is going to end well at all.

  36. spunkfunker says

    Britney and any of the horrible dudes that she has had in her life.

    No, she is obviously not well!

  39. silence1534 says

    Britney Spears

    Sam Lufti

    She is mentally unwell, anyone paying any attention to her social media should see it. She will be taken advantage of again, and then all of the loudmouth “FrEe BrItNeY” idiots will see what they’ve done to her.

    You’re a stranger. You don’t know her, she doesn’t know you. She’s not your friend, back off.

  40. laura1083 says

    Britney Spears and ex manager Sam Lutfi

    She is anything but smart, she is very ill and needs help. She needs good people around her who genuinely care for her and are not using her.

  46. Daisy27 says

    I feel for Britney, this is Lufti possibly. But if not him there will be another one and another one and another one. Good luck Britney, the only thing your dad did for you is enrich himself and not prepare you for the wolves.

  50. Steffy44 says

    Brit Brit and Lufti no doubt. Another user and abuser will worm their way in and she’ll be dead. Then the free Brit movement can gloat in her death and how her family should have stopped it. She’s mentally ill. There is no magic to dealing with it. Don’t take your meds and it’s just harder to get back in control.

  51. carriebradshaw says

    Britney Spears and Sam Lufti. Courtney Love got restraining order against him. If Courtney Love tells You someone or something is really evil take it serious. Period.

  52. justcurious says

    Obvs Brit Brit and that Sam dude.
    Poor Brit, hope she goes ok after escaping from her dad who is a despicable, horrible creature

  55. LeelooDallas1 says

    Woman is Britney and the Sven is Sam Lutfi. He is evil.

    She’s a magnet for these type of grifters and losers.

  56. fanofgossip says

    this is britney and the guy being is sam lufti(?)
    he was drugging britney. she shaved her head as a result of a breakdown/drug use. dad obtained conservatorship due to drug dealer Sam, along with a restraining order.

  58. kellyp says

    Woman: Britney Spears
    Sven: Sam Lufti
    I don’t think it’s a question of being smart enough. Mentally ill people are plenty smart, they just can’t grasp the reality of situations and instead make up a narrative that works for them but isn’t reality.

    I think it’s pretty obvious to the judge (who explicitly called this out) that she can’t discern who is an abuser and who isn’t.

  61. luv2guess says

    britney spears
    sam asghari
    100% believe this-she’s mental and the public needs to stay out of it

  63. heartcouture says

    Britney Spears. I will guess Kevin Federline for Sven, bc I remember her having a little chihuahua named Lil Bit (or something to that affect) around that time.

  65. ItsBouquet says

    This is poor Britney. Nobody is truly on her side, everybody wants her money. I feel for her.

  67. badgerette85 says

    Is this Brittany Spears and her ex Jason Tratwick???
    Op- she was fooled once and will be fooled again. As much as I hope to see her thrive, I fear the worse is to come.
