\nSam Asghari is reflecting on the toxic part of his marriage to Britney Spears.\n
\u201cOne day I start learning about what the conservatorship is, and that\u2019s when I was like, \u2018Wait a minute. I thought I\u2019m in America. What do you mean someone over the age of 18 needs permission from their parents?\u2019 \u201d Asghari said on Sunday\u2019s episode of Kate and Oliver Hudson\u2019s \u201cSibling Revelry\u201d podcast.\n
The \u201cTraitors\u201d star, 30, added, \u201cThat was the most difficult and weird spiral thing that I\u2019ve witnessed in my life.\u201d\n
Asghari, who was married to Spears from 2022 to 2024, said at the time, all he could do was be there for the pop star, 43.\n
\u201cI think the best thing to do is to provide support in that moment and that\u2019s what I did, I provided as much as I could,\u201d he told Kate and Oliver.\n
\u201cThis was my experience in life that I had to go through very gently because if you do anything wrong, you say the wrong thing\u2026\u201d\n
\n
Asghari supported Spears during the \u201cFree Britney\u201d movement as she fought to be released from the court-mandated conservatorship that was in place for 13 years.\n
The conservatorship, spearheaded by the artist\u2019s father, Jamie Spears, was in place from 2008 until its termination in November 2021.\n
\u201cOne of the hardest things, I think, to deal with when you go into entertainment is your parents and the people around you, and everything that happens, and everybody that comes into your life that\u2019s taken advantage \u2014 that damages you because those are the people that are closest to you,\u201d Asghari continued.\n
\n
\u201cUsually, the people that are around you, the people that you allow into your circle, you kind of are vulnerable to them. They take an advantage because they think, you know, you owe something to them or something, which is so ridiculous,\u201d the \u201cBlack Monday\u201d alum said.\n
Despite splitting up after seven years together, Asghari made it clear he doesn\u2019t have any regrets.\n
\u201cI\u2019m always gonna be grateful and happy that it ever even happened,\u201d he admitted.\n
During Spears\u2019 bid to end her conservatorship, the \u201cToxic\u201d singer was vocal about the alleged restrictions placed upon her. At one point, Spears detailed being prohibited from removing her IUD, even though she wanted to try having kids with Asghari.\n
\n
Ashgari filed for divorce from the superstar in 2023, with Spears opening up about her then-husband\u2019s decision soon after.\n
\u201cAs everyone knows, Sam and I are no longer together \u2026 6 years is a long time to be with someone so, I\u2019m a little shocked,\u201d she posted alongside a video of herself dancing at the time.\n
\u201cI\u2019m not here to explain why because it\u2019s honestly nobody\u2019s business !!! But, I couldn\u2019t take the pain anymore honestly !!!\u201d Spears added. \u201cIn some sort of telepathic way I have been receiving so many messages that melt my heart from friends and I thank you !!!\u201d\n

Asghari, meanwhile, went public with girlfriend Brooke Irvine earlier this year, with the two being spotted out and about in Hollywood.\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
