Britney Spears’ estranged husband Sam Asghari has broken his silence after he filed for divorce from the singer.
29-year-old Asghari confirmed his marriage to the 41-year-old singer had hit rock bottom.
The duo were together for six years but had only been married for 14 months.
“After 6 years of love and commitment to each other my wife and I have decided to end our journey together. We will hold onto the love and respect we have for each other and I wish her the best always,’ adding: ‘S**t happens. Asking for privacy seems ridiculous so I will just ask for everyone including media to be kind and thoughtful,” Asghari wrote on Instagram.
Insiders on Thursday told TMZ that Asghari had suspected that Britney Spears had cheated on him with a staffer at the Southern California home they shared, and that video footage shot on the property implicates her in being unfaithful.
According to the source, Asghari described his estranged wife as being in ‘a fragile and hyper-sexualized state’ after she asked a staffer to film her while she was naked.
Spears’ alleged behavior was described by a source to the outlet as risky ‘to her own safety;’ and that her infidelity was what persuaded Asghari to move forward in his divorce filing.
This comes amid reports Spears got physical with Asghari several times and once gave him a black eye as he slept.
Asghari reportedly told friends that the pop princess would attack him during their six years together, adding there were numerous fights where security had to step in between the pair.
The 29-year-old was taken aback after his estranged wife started punching him as he was sleeping in their bed. He was pictured with bruising on his arms and face earlier this year, with sources saying the dates coincide with the alleged attack.
The 41-year-old singer is also accused of ‘flying off the handle’ at the smallest things, which left Asghari terrified.
