Transcript

00:00Britney Spears' marriage to Sam Asghari,

00:03look, we saw some elements of it play out,

00:06but really, they were very private,

00:09and we don't know a lot about what happened

00:13within their, you know, within their house.

00:16We certainly had some reporting that we had done

00:19about Sam feeling afraid, that there were moments

00:23where he discovered Britney was sleeping

00:25with a knife under the bed,

00:27and that there was alleged domestic violence between them,

00:32that she was striking him.

00:34But he's never really spoken about any of that.

00:37So he went on the Sibling Revelry podcast,

00:40it's Oliver Hudson and Kate Hudson's podcast,

00:43and finally opened up about some of it.

00:46Now, I think it was interesting here,

00:48he does not say anything about Britney,

00:50and I think that's part of the terms of the divorce.

00:52I would imagine that they can't make any disparaging

00:55comments about each other,

00:56but he does have a lot to say about the world around Britney

00:59and what it was like for him to step into that.

01:01Remember, they met on a music video,

01:04one of her music videos, he was a dancer.

01:08Is he a dancer?

01:09He was a model.

01:10He was a model, yes.

01:11Sorry, I don't wanna get that, he was a model.

01:13But here's what he said once they got together,

01:17the things that were really shocking to him.

01:19There's seven years worth of relationship

01:22that comes from the music video,

01:24and a marriage, and a lot of experiences,

01:28and a lot of experiences,

01:33which I like to call it a crash course in Hollywood.

01:35One day, I started learning about

01:37what the conservatorship is, and things like that.

01:40That's when I was like, wait a minute,

01:42like, I thought, I'm in America.

01:44When you meet someone over the age of 18,

01:46needs permission from their parents,

01:48and all this ridiculous thing.

01:50That was by far the most,

01:54I'm not gonna say difficult,

01:55because I don't think anything's difficult.

01:57That was the weirdest thing to deal with.

02:00It really is amazing to, honestly,

02:02I feel like I don't even know his voice that well,

02:04because he never spoke, and he wasn't allowed to speak,

02:07and you couldn't get into his world

02:10and find out about these two.

02:11So to hear him talking,

02:13like makes me wanna go listen to the full episode.

02:14I've heard clips here and there,

02:15but I wanna go listen to what he has to say for some reason.

02:18I feel, on one hand, I feel sorry for him,

02:21because that is a lot to suddenly deal with.

02:24I don't really, I'm sorry, I don't get the,

02:26I didn't know any of this.

02:28I mean, at the point when they got together,

02:30Brittany had been under the conservatorship for a while.

02:33She had had previous relationships.

02:36She had an engagement that ended

02:39before they got to the altar.

02:40So there had been plenty out there

02:44about Brittany's life, and about the conservatorship,

02:46and the fact that-

02:47People on the planet, of course,

02:48he's gonna know something about her.

02:50I'm sorry, this is like Meghan Markle going,

02:53I didn't know anything about Prince Harry.

02:56I didn't know about his family.

02:58Come on, how did he not know?

03:01Can't play dumb at all levels.

03:02And I get he didn't know the details,

03:04but everyone knew that she was under conservatorship,

03:05and that her decisions, or her finances,

03:09her personal decisions as far as medical decisions,

03:13were all made by the conservatorship.

03:15And also, to go back to Dax's point

03:17of him not really being able to talk,

03:19our understanding is that Sam,

03:21when they finalized this divorce,

03:23he signed an NDA that he wouldn't ever talk about Brittany.

03:27Because we had done that story back a few months ago

03:30when we knew he was going off

03:31to film the Traders reality show,

03:33and we knew that when he went to go film that show,

03:36he was not gonna be able to talk about her, even positively.

03:39And people that have watched the show now,

03:41because it is currently airing,

03:43say that Brittany has been brought up

03:45as a topic on the show,

03:46and he kind of diverts the conversation off of Brittany,

03:49which makes you assume that that NDA is still in place.

03:53I spoke to Sam's manager this morning,

03:55and he's very insistent that these interviews that Sam,

04:00or this podcast that Sam did,

04:02is not at all a dig at Brittany,

04:04but he did also tell me that there is more

04:07that's gonna come out from this podcast, apparently.

04:09So I'm curious, I guess the question

04:11that I've gotta now go back and ask is,

04:13well, what's going on with the NDA?

04:14Because he's talking about her,

04:15but he wouldn't talk about her on the reality show.

04:17Yeah, I think he is walking a fine line, right?

04:20He's not speaking about,

04:22he didn't say anything about Brittany.

04:23He said, at least to this point,

04:25he's just talked about the people around her,

04:27and how it impacted him.

04:29When you have him on the Traders show,

04:31isn't that hard to hire someone

04:33knowing they can't talk about the one thing

04:34everyone wants to know about?

04:36Because then it's like,

04:37what's the point of having him on the show?

04:39I think for him, there's a lot of exit stage left,

04:42I'm out of that conversation.

04:43Hi, my name is Zakiya, I'm located in Arizona.

04:47And I feel like Sam must have really felt powerless

04:51and lost on how to support his then wife, Brittany Spears,

04:55during this conservatorship

04:57that took away her basic human rights.

05:00He must have felt like an outsider looking in,

05:04because he wasn't able to support Brittany,

05:06because she didn't have control

05:07over all the aspects of her life.

05:09Yeah, I think he wanted the things,

05:12maybe the things he wanted to do, he couldn't,

05:14because that's just not in her power.

05:17But let's also say, Sam has gotten some benefit from,

05:22I'm not saying that's why he married her,

05:23but he's gotten roles now, and he's more recognized.

05:27I thought Brittany was doing really well

05:29when she was with him.

05:30She seemed very happy.

05:33There was a shift in her after they got divorced

05:35that I started to get more concerned about her,

05:37but I felt like when they were together,

05:38she seemed really good.

05:41That's one way to look at it. My opinion.

05:43That's your opinion.
