TRIAL

Spears Shaved Head for Drug Test

Worried it would test positive, former manager says.

Britney Spears’s former manager, Sam Lufti, testified Tuesday that the pop star shaved her head in 2007 because she worried her hair would test positive for drugs. “She told me she wanted to get clean, but she was struggling with it,” Lufti said. “I told her it was very difficult to kick a drug habit … but I told her she needed to do it. I explained to her that society is not going to tolerate a mother with two kids abusing drugs.” Lufti is suing Spears and her family for libel, defamation, battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and breach of contract after the publication of Spears’s mother’s memoir.
