Lutfi Makes Bank Off Britney Photos

February 07, 2008


It's no secret that Sam Lutfi is a shady guy, but now we have proof. Blender magazine started to do an expose on the paparazzi that follow Britney Spears around on a daily basis, and they ended up getting a whole lot of dirt on her alleged 'friend' Lutfi.

Blender journalist Michael Joseph Gross explains:

"The media frenzy (surrounding Spears) was significantly aided and abetted and intensified after Sam Lutfi came on the scene. "There's one paparazzi agency that's emerged as having the inside track on Britney all the time - they're the ones who know where she is, where she's going... It's called X17.

"One of the owners of X17 told me that last year she began getting messages from lots of people with funny names; we know that Sam, in the past, has used a lot of pseudonyms. "After that she said one day out of the blue, Sam Lutfi called and introduced himself by name, then he started calling more and more often.

"By the time I was with the paparazzi, they were sitting there getting text messages from him at regular intervals telling them where she was, where she was gonna go."

Lutfi probably has deals set with the agency where he makes a percentage off all Britney Spears photos. Recent reports suggested that paps makes anywhere from $500-$100,000 off each photo, depending on what she's doing. In 2007 , x17 made almost $3 million dollars just from Spears photos alone, so you can only imagine how much money Lutfi has been making on the side, especially when he gave her pills and she went crazy out on the town. Someone notify the IRS, cause this guy is making A LOT of money off Brit---tax free, I'm sure!

So, if Sam Lufti has been drugging Britney and causing her to act crazy and out of control and miss her court dates it would make for a very juicy story for Lufti’s book now wouldn’t it?

its amazing how lufti claimed he never made a buck off of spears and how he is trying to save her life etc. but once he is served with restraining order etc. he easily backstabs britney he claims to care deeply for.

I agree Some Guy. Like this should be no surprise to anyone. Sam Lutfi is pissed off right now and is tottally going to do whatever it takes to hurt Spears and her family and profit from his revenage as much as he can.

It's funny because both Lutfi and X17 say that no money has changed hands between them.Everyone knows better though...X17 and Lutfi make big bucks off the business of Britney.Their spin is amazing and good for a laugh.

If it's true and this guy can prove it, what is stopping them from charging Lutfi with perjury if, in fact, when he was deposed by Kaplan, he said he never did anything with X17 as reported - his words?
