Britney Spears, the legendary pop princess is reportedly divorcing her husband Sam Asghari after barely a year of marriage, and the internet, as per usual, has some crazy theories about the possible reasons for this unexpected turn of events.
2023 has been full of break ups and divorces in the show business. The ‘trend’ that started with Shakira’s divorce from Gerard Piqué has reached Sofía Vergara and Joe Manganiello, Ariana Grande and Dalton Gomez, Ricky Martin and Jwan Yosef, among many others. Britney Spears is the newest addition to the list, and seems like it will be one of the most controversial ones, given the drama about the #FreeBritney movement and the conservatorship that the singer was under for many of the years.
TMZ, the website that broke the news, hinted that Asghari asked for the divorce due to some serious cheating allegations. The infamous news outlet claims that Sam started a ‘nuclear argument’ with Britney after he allegedly learned she was cheating on him.
The public has other theories though. Some internet users claim their break up was just matter of time and it was predictable due to Britney’s ‘erratic and ridiculous’ behavior, which is especially notorious on her social media, where she’s been seen on multiple occasions making strong accusations, stripping down and dancing in a rather unusual way. Asghari could have grown tired of her attitude, according to internet users.
Britney’s heartbreaking miscarriage in early 2022 has also been introduced into the conversation, as fans wonder if the lack of children between them made a number on their relationship. The prenup scandal in 2021 has also been brough up, as the couple allegedly had a difficult time getting the prenup numbers decided, which could have been part of the reason why they took more than 5 years of dating to get engaged.
This also brough up a meme of that year, when the American actress Octavia Spencer warned Britney on her social media post about their engagement, warning her to make him sign a prenup, which you’ll find below.
