Adnan Ghalib has revealed that he's taking a break from his LA paparazzi from being a photographer because he’s received several threats since splitting from Britney Spears.

The pap is alleged to have been trying to auction a sex tape of him and Brit, 26.

But rumour has brought him a lot of unwanted attention.

‘I have had calls about it from all over the world. In light of the constant calls about the sex tape and threats, I’m taking a break from the industry and keeping a low profile,’ he says.

In April, it was reported that Adnan, 36, was stabbed in the arm - claims that were never verified by police records.

‘Yes, I was injured by an attacker,’ he confirms. ‘This is still being investigated. I can’t say much about that cowardly attack other than a) you better come a lot stronger than that if you want to make a point, and b) most will be surprised by those behind it. Very Wizard Of Oz-ish.’
