"Britney has been banned from reading about the trial for her own good. They are trying to protect her from all this," thesun.co.uk quoted a source as saying.

The spears are being sued by Briteny's former manager Sam Lufti sues the singer?s family, claiming he was wrongly blamed for her falling apart in a book by her mum Lynne.

"It will be terrible for her recovery if she reads about her worst days all over again," said the source.
