(Jan. 29) -- Britney Spears was left screaming and crying on Monday night following a dispute with her manager, Sam Lufti, various outlets are reporting. Perez Hilton documents the night with various posts, claiming that Spears and Lufti began arguing, and Spears called her paparazzo boyfriend Adnan Ghalib for assistance. Once he arrived, Ghalib was not allowed past Spears' security gate, Hilton reports. Spears was later photographed crying and distressed. See Hilton's report and photos.

When approached by a photographer to see if she was ok, a tearful Spears replied "I'm fine. I'm sitting for once and having a nice time with my dog," according to Page Six.

The Associated Press reports that police were called to Spears' home after reports of a swarm of paparazzi trespassing in her gated community.

Hilton also has a photo of what is allegedly a text message conversation between Lufti and Ghalib, in which Lufti tells the photographer that he is a "manic trigger," and that he'll "kill her" if Ghalib continues to have contact with Spears. He tells Ghalib to "cease all contact with her completely."

Following the incident, Page Six reports that Ghalib released a statement through his photo agency, Finalpixx: "The truth is that Sam Lutfi started an argument with Britney and the two ended up in a screaming fight. Sam continued to verbally abuse Britney as she sat barefoot on the curb at her Summit home crying holding her dog London."
"Britney called Adnan for help and he heard the distress in her voice and drove to the Summit immediately. While outside the gates he was denied access as Sam Lutfi had informed the guards that he was not allowed entry. When Adnan then tried to call Britney it seems that Sam had turned all of her cell phones off."

The fight came on the heels of Lufti surprisingly giving information to Barbara Walters, who then relayed the information on "The View" on Monday. According to Walters, Lufti called her and told her that Spears suffers from "mental issues" and has seen a psychiatrist.

"He said that Britney is suffering from what he describes as mental issues which are treatable," Walters said on "The View." "He said that she has been to a psychiatrist and that she, I assume, is starting some kind of treatment."

Walters also said Lufti told her that Spears has "mood swings," and that "she's been having trouble sleeping."

This is so heartbreaking. It’s so good to get regular updates on her. Keep the Britney News coming WKRG! I think you are the Gulf Coast’s most reputable news source!
