Mother alleging Spears was drugged
Britney Spears' mother has alleged that the 26-year-old singer was "drugged" by her self-styled manager, Sam Lufti, in order to take control of her life, home and money.
Reuters reports that Lynne Spears' allegations were contained in a sworn declaration submitted to the court in order to obtain a temporary restraining order against Lufti.
The restraining order against Lufti forbids him from contacting Spears in any way.
In the declaration, Lynne Spears alleged: "Mr Lutfi drugged Britney. He has cut Britney's home phone line and removed her cell-phone chargers. He yells at her. He claims to control everything - Britney's business manager, her attorneys and security guards at the gate."
Lynne Spears describes arriving at her daughter's home on 28 January and finding her in a confused state.
She said: "Britney... became very agitated and could not stop moving. She cleaned the house. She changed her clothes many times. She also changed her dogs' clothes many times. Britney spoke to me in a tone and with the level of understanding of a very young girl."
The singer's mother claims that Lufti told her and a friend that he gave the 26-year-old tablets ground up in her food to keep her quiet and told the troubled entertainer that she had to take "10 pills a day" if she wanted to see her two young sons.
Britney Spears' father Jamie and attorney Andrew Wallete have been granted temporary control of the star's assets, pending further legal proceedings.
A judge has ruled that Spears must be examined by a court-appointed psychiatrist to determine if she understands the legal proceedings.

Bob Geldof - Geldof Curbs Peaches Wild Ways
LATEST: Rocker BOB GELDOF has made his troubled daughter PEACHES move back home - because she was surrounded by "bad influences" at her pad in North London, according to reports.
The 19-year-old was quizzed by police after she was caught on tape buying drugs from Amy Winehouse's alleged dealer - but then escaped police charges for lack of evidence.
And because of her alleged drug-buying escapade, The Boomtown Rats star has laid down a list of rules for the teen to abide by.
A source tells British newspaper London Lite, "She will have to cut off all her mates who she has met recently, because Bob sees them as bad influences.
"She is not allowed to DJ for a while or go to many parties because she is worried that she could be led astray again.
"Her cash and credit cards have been taken away, so now she has to ask him for money to do anything."
It is not the first time the teen has been caught up in controversy. She was accused of shoplifting in October 2006 and caused a stir again last month (20Apr08) when she was blamed for stealing an expensive gown from London store Victim.
