Cousin hits out at Britney's boyfriend

Britney Spears' cousin and former assistant Alli Sims has hit out at the singer's new boyfriend Adnan Ghalib.

Sims admitted that she does not want the paparazzi boss to be in Britney's life any longer, accusing him of having "bad intentions".

"I do not think Adnan is a good person," Alli told Us Weekly. "I think he only has bad intentions. He has given me a weird feeling and creeped me out. I wish he would just go away."

Sims also insisted that Britney's current personal problems have not been triggered by drug use.

"I do not think that is the issue at all," she said. "I was with her for eight months pretty much every day and never witnessed anything like that - and I lived there."
