LOS ANGELES — Britney Spears’ friend Sam Lutfi told Barbara Walters in a phone call over the weekend that the pop star has been to a psychiatrist for “mental issues which are treatable,” Walters said Monday on “The View.”
Lutfi, described by Walters as Spears’ “manager and very good friend,” also said that Spears has been suffering from mood swings and has had trouble sleeping.
Lutfi also told Walters that Spears is in touch with her mother — who arrived in Los Angeles Sunday night — and that she has been very supportive.
