Los Angeles - Britney Spears was sued Tuesday by her former manager Sam Lutfi, who accused the singer and her parents of defamation and breach of contract, libel, battery and intentional infliction of emotional distress, according to court documents.

The lawsuit came days after Spears' father, Jamie, obtained a new restraining order against Lutfi, accusing him of harassing the Spears family.
