Britney Spears' cousin Alli Sims believes her alleged photographer lover "has bad intentions".

The 'Gimme More' singer and British paparazzo Adnan Ghalib have become inseparable in recent weeks, and he has reportedly taken on Alli's former role as Britney's personal assistant, but Alli is worried he is a negative influence.

She said: "I do not think Adnan is a good person. 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."

Alli, 26, is worried about Britney - who has been denied all contact with her sons Sean Preston, two, and 16-year-old Jayden James after her recent meltdown - but insists the 26-year-old singer is a good mother.

She added to Us Weekly magazine: "When you go through your whole life just listening to what everybody tells you to do, you get to the point where you're not used to having to decide what is really important for yourself.

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

"She adores her boys and is just really upset about not being able to spend time with them. I wish people would give her a break and lay off her."

Contrary to reports, Alli was not in the house with Britney on January 3 when she refused to return Sean and Jayden to their father Kevin Federline at the end of her supervised visit.

The 'Piece of Me' singer had three supervised visits with her sons a week, including one overnight stay, but these were removed in an emergency court hearing.

The next hearing in her custody battle with ex-husband Kevin custody battle has been set for February 19.
