Welcome back to Billboard News. I’m Tetris Kelly, and it’s Thursday, August 17th. And we’ve got to talk about all the new details of Britney’s divorce. Britney Spears is rumored to be headed for divorce, and there are so many stories out there, including allegations of cheating. Is Sam fighting the prenup? I’m ready to go to war for Britney, but let’s get through what we know first. On Wednesday, TMZ reported that Sam Asghari has filed for divorce from his wife after 14 months of marriage, citing irreconcilable differences and listing the date of separation as July 28th. The outlet also reports he moved out last week after a blowout fight after accusing Britney of cheating. That accusation could have to do with the ironclad prenup you may remember Octavia Spencer warned Britney to get, and Sam jokingly posted about protecting his assets. Now rumors are that he’s contesting the prenup, asking for spousal support and attorney fees or things could get ugly. As for Britney, Page Six has reported she’s hired celebrity powerhouse attorney Laura Wasser, who has repped Angelina Jolie, Hilary Duff and more. Britney was also seen driving without her wedding ring and posted to Instagram about horses — an unbothered queen. I’ve said it. We’ve all said it 1,000 times. Can people just leave Britney alone? Wishing her the best and hoping she can find good people for her life that don’t just want a piece of her.
