• After Escorting Amanda Bynes into Treatment Facility, Sam Lufti Insists in Open Letter that He Isn't 'Shady,' Simply Understands Troubled Celebs, Wants to Help

    Sam Lufti is a name often affiliated with some of Hollywood's biggest train-wreck situations. He was Britney Spears's right-hand man for awhile before her father stepped in and successfully gained conservatorship over her finances. Lufti has also tried to incorporate himself into the inner circles of Lindsay Lohan, Paris Jackson and Courtney Love when they were struggling to find a lifeline. Lufti has often been referred to as "shady" because those close to targeted celebrities seem to believe he is looking to take financial advantage of those who are struggling mentally. He claims, however, that he simply understands troubled celebs and wants to help them. Lufti's most recent target has been Amanda Bynes, whom he escorted into a treatment facility, and he convinced her to board that flight back to Los Angeles. That ultimately led to her current hospitalization. Lufti decided to finally address the rumors and insinuations in a letter that ran at XOJane.
