The relationship between actor Sam Asghari and singer Britney Spears is making headlines due to a new TV special that plans to focus on the past year and a half of Britney's life after her conservatorship ended.
Part of the special plans to focus on the 41-year-old pop star's marriage to the actor. Sources claim that their relationship is in trouble, especially after the two were both photographed separately without wearing the wedding rings.
Sources Claim Britney Spears And Sam Asghari's Marriage Is 'So Volatile Security Has Had To Step In'
A new TV special called “Britney Spears: The Price of Freedom,” which airs Monday night on Fox, focuses on Britney’s life after her conservatorship. The special will focus on Britney’s career, her mental health, and her marriage to the actor, which took place last June in the backyard of her Thousand Oaks mansion. According to TMZ:
“We're told Britney has gotten physical with Sam and screaming matches have been frequent. We're also told things have gotten so volatile security has had to step in. Our sources say Sam doesn't stay at their home much anymore and it's especially alarming because of how she has come to rely on him.”
Despite these new reports, the couple has taken to social media to post a much prettier picture of their relationship. Even though Britney has not posted anything with Sam recently, the former personal trainer took to Instagram on Friday to share a video of the two hiking in California, captioning the clip, "Hiking with my woman."
Britney and Sam Were Photographed Without Their Wedding Rings In March
However, back in March, the two were photographed separately without their wedding rings on. Britney did not bring her wedding ring on vacation with her longtime manager Cade Hudson. Sam was also spotted running errands in Los Angeles also without his wedding ring.
Shortly after the photographs surfaced, a rep for the Iranian actor, Brandon Cohen, told Page Six that their marriage is still going strong even though the couple was not wearing their wedding rings. The BAC publicist said that the actor took off his ring because he is currently filming a movie.
Sam Asghari Fired Back At 'Disgusting' TV Special Made About Britney Spears
On Sunday night, Sam posted two videos on his Instagram Stories to denounce the latest "documentary" made about Britney's life. “The last thing I want to do is speak on my wife’s behalf. I would never do that. I respect her privacy," he began. "That’s why I don’t talk as much and I found it absolutely disgusting for the people that would, in her life at the time, when she didn’t have a voice, they went and told her story like it was theirs.”
“It was absolutely disgusting. And how are you going to take the most influential person of our generation, the princess of pop, America’s sweetheart, and put her in prison, where her father tells her what to do, what water to drink, who to see, and use her as a money-making machine,” he continued. “And then, all of a sudden, after fifteen years, when she’s free after all those gaslighting, and after all those things that went down, now, you’re going to put her under a microscope and tell her story? No. No.”
He added a second video to his Instagram Stories a few minutes later. “No, that’s also disgusting so don’t do that. And don’t believe what you read online,” he added. “Ninety-nine percent of the time, those are all click baits for you to click and for them to make money and that time is over. You know, we’re not gonna allow that and that should stop,” he concluded. “It should stop. Absolutely. The gaslighting and all that s**t? Gotta stop.”
Although Britney has not responded to allegations about her relationship with Sam, she has fired back on reports that she consumes caffeine drinks "by the gallon" and consumes coffee, Red Bull, and various other caffeinated beverages "non-stop."
In an Instagram post shortly after the allegations were made, Britney admitted that green tea is her "prized possession" but insisted that she doesn't even like Red Bull.
"You clever little turds … Sorry but I never stay up late with Red Bull !!!" she wrote. "It is absolutely the worst drink ever … I make jewelry, candles, and doll clothes for my friend’s daughter … I don’t like people in [the] media bullying me and saying hateful things."
