Britney Spears has acquired a restraining order against three individuals from her recent past. The Associated Press says court records indicate that the restraining order is against Britney’s former acquaintance Sam Lutfi, her ex-boyfriend Adnan Ghalib, and a lawyer, John Eardley. In the court documents, attorneys for Britney and father Jamie Spears (her legal conservator) contend that these three individuals have been a disruptive force in Britney’s life. The AP says the documents state: "On the first anniversary of the establishment of the conservatorship, the co-conservators are informed and believe that these three figures are working in concert to disrupt the conservatorship, with an utter disregard for Ms. Spears' health and well being.” The temporary restraining order against the three men forbids them from contacting Britney, her parents and her two little boys. A hearing next month will determine whether the order is extended.
