Sam Asghari on Britney Spears' Arrest: 'When It Comes to People Making Mistakes, I Understand That'

  • On Thursday, March 5, Sam Asghari, actor and Spears' ex-husband, declined to comment further on Spears' legal trouble and urged privacy, warning the press could harm someone recovering.
  • After meeting in 2016, the couple married in June 2022 and Asghari filed to dissolve their 14-month marriage in August 2023, finalizing the divorce in May 2024.
  • Police say the pop star was seen driving erratically in a black BMW 430i, showed signs of impairment, took field sobriety tests, and was booked and released early Thursday morning.
  • A representative for Britney Spears said the arrest was an 'unfortunate incident' and confirmed she will comply with the law; records show her court date is May 4, and her sons will spend time with her.
  • Asghari has a history of publicly supporting Spears, posting on Instagram that 'We will hold onto the love and respect we have for each other, and I wish her the best always' during her conservatorship.
