Britney Spears explodes at 'two a**hole exes' in shock post after Sam Asghari's brutal dig
Britney Spears didn't hold back in a fiery Instagram post shared just hours after her ex-husband Sam Asghari took another brutal jab at their short-lived marriage. Nearly two years after their split following 14 months as husband and wife, the pop star, 43, took to social media on Wednesday with a searing message directed at two unnamed former partners. 'I dated two f****** complete a*******,' she wrote. 'I realized I loved their dogs more than them and I think it's because their dogs bowed to me every time I entered the room!!!' The Toxic singer — who's previously been in high-profile relationships with Justin Timberlake and Kevin Federline — didn't hold back in describing the emotional toll those connections took. 'Now the guys were of course cruel humans that never even acknowledged me,' she continued. 'And never held my hand in the car for 6 years !!! I choose animals over people anyday!!!' Britney, who shares sons Sean Preston, 19, and Jayden, 18, with Federline, also hinted that the post came on the heels of personal struggles. 'I'm so turned off by humanity and the way people have literally … I have no words !!!' she added, calling it an 'extremely shady week.' Less than a day before Britney's Instagram post, Sam opened up about their brief marriage and how it impacted his career — both positively and negatively. 'I can't sit here and lie and say, "It wasn't good for me,"' he told Page Six. 'When you're in such a public relationship, that gives you that platform — it sort of gave me that platform for who I am.' While Asghari acknowledged that being in the spotlight helped elevate his profile, he also admitted it created challenges. 'Did it make me, you know, have to work harder to prove myself? Absolutely,' he added. Asghari went on to reveal that casting directors sometimes hesitated to hire him, worried about hiring 'someone that's a cheesy trainer' simply because he was 'associated with a pop star.' In a separate interview last month, Sam spoke out about their divorce and revealed he had pushed for a prenup before their 2022 wedding, citing the difficult treatment Britney has endured throughout her life. The Toxic singer — who's previously been in high-profile relationships with Justin Timberlake and Kevin Federline — didn't hold back in describing the emotional toll those connections took 'I wanted to make sure she's protected, because throughout her life, everybody—I don't know one person that's ever been in her life that didn't take advantage of her,' the Traitors alum said on a June 2 episode of Trading Secrets. 'It's very sad. I wanted to make sure that I'm the person that don't do that.' Addressing rumors that he may have exploited Britney during their relationship, Sam explained that their romance grew naturally after meeting on the set of her Slumber Party music video. 'Looking from an outside perspective, I see there's an age difference,' he admitted. 'There's a fame difference, there's this, there's that. But realistically, we met as costars.' Although Britney didn't name the exes she referenced in her recent shocking Instagram post, fans quickly speculated about which of her high-profile relationships she might have meant. The pop icon rose to fame in the late 1990s and has had several widely publicized romances over her decades-long career. One of her earliest and most talked-about relationships was with Justin Timberlake, her former Mickey Mouse Club co-star. The pair began dating in 1998, becoming one of the era's most celebrated couples. Their four-year romance produced memorable moments — including their matching double denim looks on the red carpet at the 2001 American Music Awards. Their breakup in 2002 dominated headlines, especially after Timberlake released his hit single Cry Me a River. The accompanying music video and Timberlake's actions post-split fueled rumors that Spears had been unfaithful, though these claims were never confirmed. Years later, Timberlake faced backlash over how he handled the media narrative surrounding Spears after their split, especially following the 2021 documentary Framing Britney Spears. In response, the singer issued a public apology to his ex, acknowledging his role and expressing regret. 'I've seen the messages, tags, comments, and concerns and I want to respond,' Timberlake wrote on Instagram in February 2021. 'I am deeply sorry for the times in my life where my actions contributed to the problem, where I spoke out of turn, or did not speak up for what was right. I understand that I fell short in these moments and in many others and benefited from a system that condones misogyny and racism.' Spears herself reflected on their relationship in her 2023 memoir, The Woman in Me, where she made headlines by revealing Timberlake had once urged her to get an abortion. While Timberlake has not publicly responded to the memoir, he seemed to make a pointed comment before performing Cry Me a River during a January 2024 concert, saying he'd 'like to take this opportunity to apologize to absolutely f–king nobody.' Following Timberlake, Britney was romantically linked to actor Colin Farrell. The two reportedly met on the set of S.W.A.T. in early 2003. Fans were surprised when they appeared together at the premiere of his film The Recruit in February that year. Despite photos showing them close and affectionate, Farrell downplayed their relationship in an interview with Entertainment Tonight at the time, saying, 'She's just a mate. Seriously, we just met a week ago, [we're] having a laugh.' Britney later spoke about their time together in an interview with W Magazine, admitting, 'Yes, I kissed him … He's the cutest, hottest thing in the world — wooh! … But it was nothing serious.' In 2004, after her brief marriage to childhood friend Jason Alexander, Spears announced her engagement to backup dancer Kevin Federline. They married in September 2004 and had two sons together: Sean Preston (born 2005) and Jayden (born 2006). Their marriage ended in divorce after three years, leading to a lengthy and contentious custody battle, further complicated by Spears' widely publicized conservatorship. In 2023, Federline moved to Hawaii with their children. After her split from Sam Asghari, news surfaced that Britney was involved with Paul Richard Soliz. The brief relationship was reportedly stormy, including an alleged altercation at the Chateau Marmont in May 2024 that left Spears with a foot injury—though she claimed the fight was 'fake.' By July 2024, the Toxic singer declared herself 'single as f***' on Instagram and vowed she would 'never be with another man' for the rest of her life.

Sam Asghari insists he had to 'work harder' as an actor because of Britney Spears marriage
Sam Asghari has insisted he had to "work harder to prove himself" after marrying Britney Spears. The 31-year-old model and actor met his ex on the set of her 'Slumber Party' music video in 2016, and they tied the knot six years later, before separating in August 2023 and finalising their divorce in May 2024. Speaking to 'Page Six Radio', he said he "absolutely [had] to work harder to prove myself.' He was also working as a waiter and for his own Asghari Fitness brand, with some casting agents seeing him as a "cheesy trainer". He added: ''Oh, and he's associated with a pop star, which is also cheesy as well.' Or 'can we see him as a character?' There was that line as well." However, Sam acknowledged that there were advantages to being in a high profile romance with the 'Toxic' pop star. He said: 'I can't sit here and lie and say, 'It wasn't good for me'. "When you're in such a public relationship ... it sort of gave me that platform for who I am.' However, he recently rubbished the suggestion that he tried to take advantage of Britney's fame and success. Sam told the 'Trading Secrets' podcast: "I never get mad at the general public or fans or people that are seeing your life from a distance, especially now that I'm not in a relationship for over two years or a year and something. "Looking from an outside perspective, I see there's an age difference, there's a fame difference, there's this, there's that. But realistically, we met as co-stars." Despite this, Sam insists he's not worried about the opinions of fans. He explained: "It's all for me. So it's not really focused on the fans or whoever … My career is always going to be, I'm always going to do things that's going to benefit the fans and people that are watching me. And I want to be a good example. But at the same time, it's because that makes me feel better."

Sam Asghari & Brooke Irvine on Date After Britney Spears' Airplane Antics
Sam Asghari's living his best life -- cruising around L.A. with his new girl Brooke Irvine, while his ex Britney Spears is catching heat for trying to spark a cig mid-flight. The actor and his real estate GF were spotted at a gas station in L.A. Friday checking out a friend's phone ... and, looking pretty serious, we gotta say. Unclear what they were checking out -- it almost certainly wasn't Sam's rippling biceps which were on display -- but, the two weren't busting up laughing over whatever it was. Sam and Brooke then turned away from the phone and looked down the road ... so, maybe they were stopping for directions in the internet age -- no physical maps, just good old-fashioned cellular GPS. Their sunshine-filled afternoon out comes just hours after we broke the story about Britney's actions up in the air between Cabo, Mexico and Los Angeles ... when it seems she had a bit too much to drink and lit up a cigarette mid-air. Our sources say flight attendants rushed over to Britney and asked her to put the cig out ... which she did. Though, we're told she didn't make it easy on the staff. Authorities met her at the airport and warned her about her actions, our sources say ... but let her go without further incident. Pics from inside the plane -- before it took off -- captured Brit looking a bit disheveled. Britney fired back at claims she was "difficult," saying on IG that she found the whole incident "incredibly funny" ... adding that she didn't think she was doing anything "Criminal" -- 'cause she really thought she could smoke on this jet! Britney and Sam separated back in August 2023 after a little more than a year of marriage. They finalized their divorce in May 2024. Spears had an on-again, off-again relationship with Paul Soliz that some may use her song "Toxic" to describe ... due to their major blow-ups in the past. Asghari's spent nearly a year with Irvine at this point ... and they've been spotted enjoying a series of outdoor activities together. Bottom line -- Sam's out here pumping gas and flexin', while Britney's getting grounded by the FAA. To each their own, we suppose.
