Britney Spears Blames Her Mom While Showing Off Ankle Injury

Pop star Britney Spears took to Instagram on May 2 in order to show off her ankle injury.

Although the incident happened on the same day her divorce was finalized, the 42-year-old pop star did not blame her ex-husband Sam Asghari for the mishap.

“It’s so bad. F---ing idiot here tries to do a leap in the living room at the Chateau and I fell and embarrassed myself. And, uh, that’s it,” she continued. “Paramedics came to my door illegally, of course, cause this huge scene, which was so unnecessary when all I needed was ice.”

Britney Spears Finalized Her Divorce With Sam Asghari

On May 1, Britney's lawyers submitted a Stipulated Judgement to a judge. On May 2, a judge signed off on the divorce and declared that Britney and Sam will be legally single as of December 2, 2024, which marks Britney's 43rd birthday.

The former couple met in 2016 on the set of her "Slumber Party" music video and proceeded to date for several years. The two tied the knot in June 2022, only a few months after her controversial 13-year conservatorship was struck down by a judge in November 2021.

However, in August 2023, Sam filed for divorce citing "irreconcilable differences" as the reason for the split. He listed the original date of separation as July 28, 2023; however, according to the latest filing, the date of separation was updated to July 30, 2023.

Due to the prenup, Britney is not going to pay spousal support to Sam Asghari.
