Sam Asghari slammed TMZ’s “disgusting” TV special about his wife, Britney Spears, ahead of its release Monday evening.
“I found it absolutely disgusting for the people who were in her life when she didn’t have a voice, they went and told her story like it was theirs,” Asghari began in a video posted to his Instagram Story Sunday night.
“It was absolutely disgusting.”
The personal trainer-turned-actor then recalled the “Toxic” singer’s treatment under her former conservatorship, during which she had no control over her life.
“How are you going to take the most influential person of her generation, the Princess of Pop, America’s sweetheart, and put her in prison where her father [Jamie Spears] tells her what to do, what water to drink, who to see and use her as a money-making machine?” Asghari asked his viewers.
Asghari, 29, took aim at the outlet for putting Britney, 41, “under the microscope” when she is finally free from her family and management’s control and encouraged readers not to fall for “clickbait” stories.
“All of a sudden — after 15 years when she’s free after all those gaslighting, all those things that went down — now you’re going to put her under a microscope and tell her story?” he asked, rhetorically.
