Disgusted with the way paparazzi have hounded Britney Spears even in her darkest moments, a photographer has quit from his famous photo agency.

Nick Stern reportedly resigned from the Splash agency yesterday, blasting paparazzi for being "completely out of control."

"Directly or indirectly, Britney is going to come to some horrific end, or a member of the public wlll," Stern, 43, reportedly told a British tabloid.
