Britney’s Ex Just Responded to Rumors He’s ‘Threatening’ Her For More Money

Britney & Sam’s prenup

A source told Us Weekly in May 2022 that prenup negotiations between Britney and Sam were taking “longer than usual.” “The talks have been taking longer than usual,” the insider said. “Sam wants substantial increases for every five years they are married, should it end.” The source claimed that the discussions were taking “longer than usual” because Sam “doesn’t” want to “end up penniless if they separate.” Despite the lengthy negotiations, the insider added that Britney and Sam’s legal teams remained “respectable” throughout the process.  “Britney’s staying out of the entire process,” the source said. “She’s just letting her lawyers hash it out with Sam’s team.”

According to Us Weekly, Britney and Sam’s prenup states that Sam will receive “$1 million per every two years of their marriage,” with a cap of $10 million after 15 years. Sam also waived any claims to Britney’s music catalog and his name wasn’t on the deed of their shared home. Instead, the couple agreed to put the house into a limited liability company (LLC.) A source told Us Weekly at the time Britney and Sam signed their prenup that Britney found the details of the document “overwhelming.”

After Britney and Sam’s separation in August 2023, a source told Page Six that Sam was “attempting to negotiate concessions beyond his prenup and threatening to go public with extraordinarily embarrassing information about Britney unless he gets paid.” The inside continued, “So that’s what Sam is focused on.”

Another source claimed that Britney’s team has “protected” her amid her divorce from Sam and that “parting will be respectful.” “It’s blackmail and it’ll never happen,” the source said. Another source confirmed to Page Six after Britney and Sam’s wedding in 2022 that their prenup is in her favor. “Britney and Sam signed a prenup in her favor,” the insider said. “Any money she made before the wedding is protected.”

Sources told TMZ that Sam will not receive any payout per the prenup. He will not get spousal support, but he can keep the gifts that Britney gives him. The insiders told the gossip site, “Sam has A LOT of first-hand knowledge about Britney, their relationship, their arguments, her challenges, etc., and if there’s even a possibility any of that might become public, Britney will gladly pay Sam for peace of mind.” In turn, Sam knows a lot about their relationship and Britney’s personal life and she would have to write him a check. The settlement also includes a confidentiality clause that will require Sam to return any money he gets if he violates the NDA.

Sam Asghari Divorce Response

When news broke of their divorce, Sam made a statement on his Instagram stories on August 17, 2023. “After 6 years of love and commitment to each other my wife and I have decided to end our journey together,” he wrote. “We will hold onto the love and respect we have for each other and I wish her the best always. Shit happens. Asking for privacy seems rediculous [sic] so I will just ask for everyone including media to be kind and thoughtful.”
