\n\t\u201cMy full attention has gone to Iran at the moment,\u201d he said, keeping his voice level. \u201cWhen 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.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tSpears was arrested Wednesday in Ventura County, California,\u00a0as confirmed by Billboard<\/em> via records posted by the county\u2019s Sheriff\u2019s Office. According to the Sheriff\u2019s Office, the \u201cI Wanna Go\u201d singer was arrested Wednesday at 9:28 p.m. PT and booked at 3:02 a.m. PT. She was released at 6:07 a.m. PT on Thursday, and her court date is currently scheduled for May 4.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThis was an unfortunate incident that is completely inexcusable,\u201d a rep for Spears told\u00a0Billboard<\/em>\u00a0in a statement. \u201cBritney 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\u2019s life.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tNo stranger to legal troubles, Spears found herself enveloped in a hit-and-run case in 2007, which was eventually dismissed the following year and gave way to her highly controversial 13-year conservatorship. More recently, Variety<\/em> reported<\/a> that the Grammy winner sold the rights to her entire music catalog to Primary Wave, with BBC<\/em> adding<\/a> that the deal was finalized Dec. 30 with a value of roughly $200 milllion.<\/p>\n

\n\tThough the last part of the conversation echoes Asghari\u2019s reality television stints, he spent most of his Fox News appearance speaking on behalf of Iranians and Iranian-Americans who are in support of the American-Israeli strikes that began devastating the country on Feb. 28.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cIt\u2019s been 47 years since the Iranian people have been fighting this fight against the regime. They wanted nothing to do with this government,\u201d said the 32-year-old, who was born in Tehran and moved to the States at age 12. \u201cThe difference between Iran\u2019s government and its people is miles far\u2026 our understanding, our culture, even the language they speak is completely different. The people of Iran are in love with America. They love America just like I do\u2026 I\u2019m happy this situation is happening to make it clear to this world that we stand with America and we stand with the free world.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tSpears and Asghari met on the set of her 2016 \u201cSlumber Party\u201d music video and got engaged in September 2021. The couple signed a prenuptial agreement, famously endorsed<\/a> by Oscar winner Octavia Spencer in Spears\u2019 Instagram comments. In April 2022, Spears announced she was pregnant with her third child and Asghari\u2019s first, but miscarried a month later. After marrying on June 8, 2022, the couple stayed together for a year before separating in July 2023, with Asghari filing for divorce the following month, citing irreconcilable differences. Spears and Asghari\u2019s divorce was officially finalized on Dec. 2, 2024, the superstar\u2019s 43rd birthday.<\/p>\n
