In a bizarre turn that is eerily similar to events leading up to Britney Spears being placed under a conservatorship, Lutfi and Bynes recently became friends, a source close to the situation tells RadarOnline.com exclusively.“Sam bought Amanda the plane ticket for her to return to Los Angeles from New York City. She had no money,” a source revealed. “The two became friends in recent months.
“He can come across as extremely charming and caring, but he is also very, very manipulative, and would want total control of Amanda’s life. This is the last thing she needs in her life right now.”
Bynes has spoken to Lutfi on the phone since she was placed on a 5150 psychiatric hold.
