"Britney Spears&amp;apos; ex-boyfriend Adnan Ghalib showed his support for her ex-manager, Sam Lutfi -- or at least his side of the story -- in court on Tuesday.\r\nThe paparazzo, whom Britney dated for a brief time beginning in December 2007 -- shortly before her infamous meltdown -- answered questions under oath in Lutfi&amp;apos;s trial against her parents Jamie and Lynne Spears Tuesday, Oct. 30.\r\n\r\nTMZ reports that Ghalib alleged under oath that Lynne tried to coerce him into publicly blaming Lutfi for Britney&amp;apos;s troubled behavior. (The photographer didn&amp;apos;t address whether or not he did as he was told).\r\n\r\nBritney&amp;apos;s father Jamie testified next, responding to Lutfi&amp;apos;s allegations that the X Factor judge&amp;apos;s legal conservator had once punched him during an argument. Jamie, for his part, explained that he &amp;quot;touched&amp;quot; Lutfi during a spat, but that it wasn&amp;apos;t the violent hit Lutfi claimed.\r\n\r\nLutfi is currently suing the Spears family for the backpay he feels he&amp;apos;s owed as her former manager (the couple denies he worked for their daughter in any official capacity), as well as libel, citing Lynne&amp;apos;s claims in her memoir Through the Storm that Lutfi kept Britney from her family -- and kept her drugged."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
