Fans Have Mixed Feelings About Sam Asghari Divorcing Britney Spears

ActorSam Asghari is giving his fans mixed feelings amid his divorce from pop star Britney Spears.

The former couple got married in June 2022 after meeting on the set of her "Slumber Party" music video in 2016. The 29-year-old actor later filed for divorce on August 16, citing "irreconcilable differences" as the reason for the split. However, in court documents obtained by The Blast, he listed the date of separation as July 28.

Many fans have a lot of questions about the nature of their relationship and can't help but wonder why the "Special Ops: Lioness" actor left the relationship only a little more than a year after they first got married.

Fans are clearly not sure how to feel about the former couple going their separate ways, with fans taking sides. Some fans feel that Sam was never right for Britney in the first place, while others feel that Britney might actually be the one at fault in causing the relationship to come to an end.

“Nobody would even know who you are if it wasn’t for Britney and I personally think that’s what it was all about for you. Of course, I don’t know that, but it sure feels accurate and if you take one cent from her during this divorce I and many others will have no doubt that your marriage to her was 100% usery and not love at all,” one user commented.

“He knew what he was getting into... if he truly cares for her he should just walk away and ask for nothing. Not one cent,” another user replied. “Every guy she gets with always, always wants something in return. He should be the bigger person and show everyone that he needs or wants anything in return but to wish her the best.”

“Idk. It happens all the time. I know many people who were together for years and years then got married and it imploded. That's why my partner and I haven't tied the knot after 23 years. Just watching all our friend's relationships end after they did,” another user speculated. “Also just the fact that we don't need a paper from the government to make our commitment ‘official.’ But yeah. The idea of a relationship ending soon after marriage isn't novel.”

“Glad you finally wised up and left the crazy train,” another user wrote, which generated a lot of backlash from Britney fans. “You people say this about anyone she has a relationship with…” another follower pointed out. “Why do you think he married her in the first place?? Duh... attention and fame,” another user wrote.

“Good for you man. Now go find yourself a real woman with class. I could only imagine what you went through. Ouffff!!!” another follower exclaimed. “Or another rich one,” another user shot back. “He got paid very well for it so I’m sure he’s not complaining,” another user alleged.

One netizen left a particularly harsh comment, writing, “AMEN … all one has to do is read all these really nasty posts here from the Brittany fan club. They are as crack a doodle as she is just nasty lowlife people. This man deserves a really great life after babysitting that mess for six years.”

However, not everyone agreed that Sam was blameless. “You used Brittney now you think you’re all that smh! She made you otherwise you would be where she found you. On to your next victim,” another user wrote. “She used him!! He finally realized she is not for him!!” another netizen argued.

“She chased after him....and yes, he's all that and some...why defend her, she's not that innocent...” another user wrote. “Used him for what? His amazing acting talents or all the money he probably stole from her?” another netizen asked.

Fortunately, it looks like a few fans of Britney are ditching the drama and unfollowing Sam so his posts don’t appear in their feed anymore. “Since you are not the bf of Britney anymore, I got nothing to do here,” one fan commented. “Unfollowing. Irrelevant now,” another follower agreed.

Considering how Britney usually deletes comments on her Instagram posts, it seems like only a matter of time until Sam does the same!
