Sam Asghari Speaks Out on Britneys DUI Arrest

Towards the end of the conversation, the star stressed that the 'Iranian people are completely different from the government.'

Asghari added, 'Hopefully the Iranian people are able to get their freedom and get their country back.

'So, I just hope less and less casualties of civilians. Nobody deserves death and hopefully that happens.'

Asghari was born in Tehran, Iran, in 1994 before later moving to the United States at the age of 13.

The former couple tied the knot in June 2022, but just over a year later Asghari filed for divorce, citing 'irreconcilable differences.'

The pair eventually reached a settlement in May 2024 and finalized their divorce in December of that year.

Asghari's comments come as insiders told TMZ that Spears had recently dismissed members of her sobriety team just weeks before the DUI arrest.

Sources claimed the shake-up occurred after the singer struck a lucrative deal and returned home to Los Cabos, Mexico.

According to the outlet, several others tasked with looking after the pop superstar were also let go - including security personnel who had been keeping a close watch on the singer.

Shortly after the 911 dispatch call was made public, a source told TMZ that, in addition to suspected DUI, an unknown substance was reportedly found in Spears’s car and will be included in the arrest report.

Following the arrest, a representative for the singer told the Daily Mail: ‘This was an unfortunate incident that is completely inexcusable. Britney is going to take the right steps and comply with the law, and hopefully, this can be the first step in the long-overdue changes that need to occur in her life. 

'Hopefully, she can get the help and support she needs during this difficult time.

‘Her boys are going to be spending time with her, and her loved ones are going to come up with an overdue plan to set her up for success and wellbeing.’
