Britney Spears' ex-husband Sam Asghari, who was married to the pop star for one year, reflected on Spears' recent arrest for an alleged DUI.
Britney Spears' ex-husband Sam Asghari is weighing in on the singer's recent arrest for an alleged DUI.
The Iranian American actor, who was married to Spears from June 2022 to August 2023, was asked about his reaction to Spears' legal trouble while doing press about the impact of the United States' growing war with Iran.
The Grammy-winning pop star was arrested by the California Highway Patrol on Wednesday, March 4, for allegedly driving under the influence, according to inmate records from the Ventura County Sheriff's Office previously reviewed by USA TODAY.
Spears was released from custody early Thursday morning. In a statement to USA TODAY on Friday, a representative for the singer said the arrest was an "unfortunate incident that is completely inexcusable," adding that Spears will "take the right steps and comply with the law."
"My focus has been on the Iran situation," Asghari, 32, said during an appearance on NewsNation. "As it goes [for] the past, I cannot skip the past. ... I think everybody makes mistakes, and everybody deserves privacy."
