It looks like Britney Spears has a lot of support in her corner following her highly public divorce from Sam Asghari.

On Wednesday night, a source had told Page Six that the 29-year-old actor was reportedly “attempting to negotiate concessions beyond his prenup and threatening to go public with extraordinarily embarrassing information about Britney unless he gets paid.”

This comment has not sat well with fans and friends alike, and although Sam later insisted that he would not challenge the prenup, it hasn’t stopped famous friends from making it clear who they were supporting in the split.
