LUFTI TELLS WALTERS THAT SPEARS IS IN TREATMENT
Barbara Walters received a call from Britney Spears’s manager and "very good friend" Sam Lutfi, the TV host told her cohorts on Monday’s "The View" — reporting that Lutfi said the pop star was seeking help for what Walters termed "mental issues which are treatable."
"She has been to a psychiatrist," Walters, 78, said, recounting Lutfi’s explanation over the phone. "She, I assume, is starting some kind of treatment."
