Britney Spears has Sam Asghari’s support from afar as she seeks treatment in a facility following her arrest on suspicion of a DUI.
On Wednesday (April 22), TMZ asked the former backup dancer for his thoughts on the news that his famous ex-wife had checked herself into a treatment center as he was walking into Mic Drop in West Hollywood. “I think it’s great,” he said in the video.
“Anything that has anything to do with healing and great things, as long as the person is in charge of that, it’s all great,” he continued, noting that he hasn’t spoken with Spears recently.
The pop star’s rep confirmed to Billboard on April 12 that she had voluntarily checked herself into a facility, providing no specific reason. The month prior, Spears was arrested in Ventura County, Calif., for a suspected DUI. She was booked on March 4 and released the following morning.
“This was an unfortunate incident that is completely inexcusable,” Spears’ rep told Billboard shortly after the arrest. “Britney is going to take the right steps and comply with the law, and hopefully this can be the first step in long overdue change that needs to occur in Britney’s life. Hopefully, she can get the help and support she needs during this difficult time.”
The Grammy winner and Asghari got married in 2022 after first meeting on the set of Spears’ “Slumber Party” music video. They separated the following year, and their divorce was finalized in December 2024.
After Spears was arrested, the fitness model said on Fox News, “When it comes to people making mistakes, I understand that, but I think everybody deserves privacy. And I hope the press has learned from the past [and] that they give her the privacy that she needs.” To date, Spears has not made any public statements about her arrest or her treatment.
