Britney and Adnan on January 15
Britney’s paparazzo boyfriend Adnan Ghalib worked as a doorman and lap dance supervisor at a strip club in San Francisco in 2000, and one of the strippers who used to work with him told the National Enquirer that he was pocketing cash behind his employer’s backs and would sleep with anything that moved. Adnan would watch the girls give lap dances and worked out a deal with them so that they didn’t report their earnings to the club in return for giving him cash. What’s more is that he would sneak quickies with the strippers and supposedly slept with more than 10 women in a week. He was also supposedly addicted to crystal meth:

Ghalib worked as both a doorman and a “lap dance counter” at the Roaring 20’s club around the year 2000.

“Adnan was a shifty character. You needed to watch him 24/7, because he’d cheat you blind,” an ex-stripper at the club, who went by the stage name Trinity, told The Enquirer in an exclusive interview.

Ghalib, now 35, started out earning $9 an hour as the club doorman, but quickly worked his way up to “lap dance counter,” keeping track of strippers’ private lap dances for the club, according to Trinity.

Adnan found a way to make the job more lucrative for himself, said Trinity.

“Typically, the stripper and the club split the lap dance fee, which is usually $40. The more lap dances a stripper can do privately, the more money she and the club earn.

“And when Adnan saw how much money was changing hands, he wanted a piece of the action. He pressured girls into giving him cash kickbacks in return for not reporting some of their private dances.”

At other times, Ghalib demanded sexual favors instead of cash, according to Trinity and another source…

“His favorite place to have sex with the girls was the general manager’s office.

“The manager made a nightly money drop at the local bank - and Adnan knew the trip took about 15 minutes. Hed’ pull a girl in to the manager’s office and be out before the guy got back.

“As far as I know, Adnan still holds the club record for sleeping with 10 different strippers in a single week.”

In an inset story underneath this article they state that Adnan quit his job in February, 2001, after he pistol-whipped a patron who was arguing with him. Adnan beat the shit out of the guy, and when he looked like he was reaching for something Adnan pulled out the gun and started smashing him in the face with it. It accidentally fired, and although no one was hurt or charged with anything, Adnan was questioned by police and that was enough to scare him into quitting the job.

It sounds like Britney found a real winner, although somehow Adnan is less creepy than that Sam Lutfi character who bragged about drugging her food. If Adnan is the type of person to work in a strip club, steal from his employers and demand sexual favors you know he’s plotting ways to get a hold of some of Britney’s fortune. He was even married when he hooked up with her.

Britney supposedly broke up with Adnan after discovering sexy text messages sent by another woman. She is said to have thrown his iPhone into the pool after demanding to know who sent the messages. Since this story originated in the British tabloid press, chances are high that it’s completely made up, but hopefully it’s true. Britney is also rumored to be pregnant with Adnan’s baby, but that seems like little more than speculation based on her recent weight gain.
