Brit's on-off boyfriend, paparazzo Adnan Ghalib (above right), blames her maybe manager, Sam Lutfi (above left), for coming between them. (Apologies for the ambiguities, but either relationship could change by the time we finish typing.)

The shutterbug posted a statement on his agency's Website last night, during all the drama (get the deets in our news story), denying he tried to break into her house and accusing Sam of verbally abusing Brit to the point of tears.

He went on to say (all in the third person) that Britney called him for help, but "he was denied access as Sam Lutfi had informed the guards that he was not allowed entry. When Adnan then tried to call Britney, it seems that Sam had turned all of her cell phones off."

We feel for the guy, we do. He simply wanted to see his girlfriend. It's just that later that same night, Adnan was zipping around L.A. with Britney in his car, driving at speeds of up to 120 mph.

So, we gotta ask, who's actually putting the pop tart in more danger?
