00:00 Britney Spears and Sam Asghari call it quits
00:07 Britney Spears was caught looking very sad and exhausted after her messy split with her
00:12 husband Sam Asghari.
00:16 After being married for only a year, Britney Spears and Sam are getting a divorce.
00:21 It is official.
00:29 Following the announcement of their split, Britney was spotted at Dave's Hot Chicken
00:33 in Oxnard, California.
00:36 When she left the restaurant, she had a raspberry lemonade drink in her hand and her security
00:41 team was also with her.
00:43 This was around midnight.
00:45 There are a lot more reports coming out saying that their divorce is becoming really messy
00:51 and contentious.
00:54 Britney Spears is a successful pop star and has a net worth of $70 million.
01:05 But she faced some legal fees and had to dish out child support payments to her ex-husband
01:10 Kevin Federline over the years.
01:20 So that number is estimated to be closer to $60 million.
01:29 So she recently broke her silence about the split and expressed that she was a little
01:34 shocked about this.
01:41 And that's why she's looking very downcast and exhausted.
01:46 Britney had her blonde hair down, light makeup on, and she was rocking the no bra look.
01:52 She wore an off the shoulder sweater, black jeans and sandals.
01:56 She's probably just like in her brain, you know what, I don't give a f about anything.
02:00 I don't give a f about anyone.
02:08 I don't care how I look.
02:09 I don't care who sees me.
02:11 I'm going to go get myself some food and some drinks.
02:14 And I don't even care if it's midnight.
02:17 Because that's the thing, who wants to be dealing with a messy divorce?
02:24 Over on Instagram, Britney had posted a video of herself dancing in her living room along
02:28 with a heartfelt message in the caption.
02:35 And she spoke about things being very difficult right now, even though on social media things
02:39 may appear perfect.
02:41 It's far from the truth.
02:46 Over time, Britney has spoken about how sharing videos of her dancing has been a way for her
02:53 to heal after gaining freedom from her conservatorship.
02:58 But despite the situation, she remains very positive and reminds her fans that love should
03:04 be unconditional.
03:06 And she's determined to stay strong in this situation.
03:09 As it stands right now, Britney and Sam are no longer in communication and they no longer
03:13 live together.
03:15 Their relationship took a really bad turn after Sam moved out and they haven't talked
03:19 since.
03:20 Now their legal teams handle all of their communications and negotiations and other
03:24 matters for them.
03:26 And Britney's post about this comes after reports that she had physically attacked Sam
03:32 while he was sleeping, as well as gave him a black eye, as well as she was accused of
03:38 cheating on him.
03:40 And apparently, all of this happened multiple times throughout their relationship.
03:47 According to sources, Sam told friends that there were many fights during their seven-year
03:52 relationship and security often had to intervene.
03:57 In Sam's divorce papers, he's requesting that Britney pays him spousal support to cover
04:03 his legal expenses, as well as provide him with separate assets and certain items.
04:09 There are some concerns, though, that this could even include the two dogs that he had
04:15 given to Britney, according to one source.
04:18 But an insider of the Spears family shared that Britney, who has hired a well-known and
04:24 tough Hollywood divorce attorney, Laura Wasser, is feeling pretty confident that her legal
04:29 team will be able to handle any claims that Sam might make on her money or her assets.
04:36 The source also mentioned that there's one asset that Britney is ready to return, and
04:40 that's her engagement ring.
04:42 Of course, toss it back to him, Britney.
04:46 As much as Britney may have her issues and may even need more healing from her past and
04:52 rebuild herself mentally, it's great that she took action to protect her money and protect
04:57 herself before getting married because this could have been a lot worse for her.
05:03 After the years and years of her father milking her for her money, and then her ex-husband
05:08 Kevin Federline doing the exact same thing, she made the smart decision here.
05:13 And Sam is desperately trying to get a piece of her wealth, which is really shady, but
05:18 it looks like he's not going to get anything at all.
05:21 After confirming her divorce to Sam Asghari on social media, Britney Spears waited no
05:25 time to let the world know she's ready to party again.
05:29 Britney Spears has already moved on from Sam Asghari, but fans are worried that she's
05:33 just spiraling and looking for a rebound relationship or relationships.
05:38 "I invited my fav boys over and played all night."
05:42 Now, Britney Spears first posted a video on her Instagram where she is seen playfully
05:48 rolling around in bed without a top on.
05:51 And this comes after her husband Sam Asghari filed for divorce.
06:03 In the video, Britney is wearing pink underwear and black knee-high boots, lying on a white
06:08 comforter.
06:09 And "I Put a Spell on You" by Annie Lennox plays in the background of the clip.
06:20 But then, this is where things get a little more strange.
06:23 She also shared another video on a night out with a group of men.
06:28 In one scene, one of the men is actually seen licking her leg.
06:33 It seems like she might be referring to her late night out when she visited Dave's Hot
06:38 Chicken in Oxnard, California, where she was captured looking very, very tired by paparazzi
06:44 with that lemonade drink in her hand.
06:47 And on this posted video, where she's with a group of guys and the guy is licking her
06:50 leg, this is what the caption said.
06:59 I knew the pops were tipped off because the car I was in was never used before.
07:04 So how was I followed?
07:06 Malibu Canyon Road is the most horrible road ever to drive on.
07:10 So what does a bitch like me do?
07:13 "I put my green dress on and show up at my friend's place.
07:15 I invited my fav boys over and played all night."
07:18 Alright, ok, a little interesting here.
07:21 It doesn't appear that Britney is actually fully taking in what's happening in her life
07:25 at all and she's not even really processing it.
07:30 Clearly, this is a shot at Sam.
07:33 And I also know that she said before that her dance videos are something that help her
07:38 heal so that's why she keeps posting them.
07:40 But at the same time, she's also said that things aren't 100% ok with her despite what
07:45 people might see on her social media.
07:48 And normally when people are going through a divorce, they take some time away from social
07:52 media.
07:53 You know, they surround themselves with close friends and family and just process things
07:58 and not necessarily posting with a bunch of people.
08:08 Maybe these are close friends to Britney but she's already getting like uncomfortably close
08:12 to other men even if they're really close friends.
08:16 And not to mention that Britney has also been accused of cheating on Sam.
08:21 But maybe people are just looking into the situation too much.
08:24 Maybe they're digging a little too deep and just making up some rumors here.
08:29 Maybe they're reading into the situation a little too deep.
08:32 Because Britney Spears or her representatives haven't flat out denied these cheating claims
08:37 yet.
08:38 But maybe Britney could just be having some fun trying to get her mind off of the stressful
08:42 divorce that she's going through.
08:43 But I wanna know what you guys think about this.
08:47 Are people reading into this a little too much or do you think Britney Spears is just
08:50 having a little fun?
08:52 In any case, one source told the US Sun publication the following
08:57 Her behavior has become concerning and everyone is worried about her.
09:00 She has been acting increasingly erratic and is in a vulnerable state.
09:05 Sam was bearing the brunt and it proved too much.
09:09 It's also plunged to a new low and it's sad to see.
09:13 Also according to TMZ, there were suspicions from Sam Asghari that Britney Spears might
09:18 have been unfaithful to him.
09:21 Yeah.
09:22 TMZ says that Sam caught her cheating with a male house staff member.
09:25 Adding Britney had asked at least one staffer to shoot naked video of her.
09:28 And to get into this a little bit more, he specifically believed that he cheated on him
09:32 with a staff member at their home in Southern California.
09:36 And also he said that footage from the property seemed to suggest that Britney was involved
09:42 in this whole cheating situation.
09:45 Sam was also concerned that Britney, who was described as being in a vulnerable and hyper
09:50 sexualized state, had also asked a staff member to record her without clothes on.
09:57 Personal life is gonna be really really beautiful.
09:59 We got married.
10:00 We moved.
10:01 Sources also mention that Britney Spears' behaviour was seen as risky for her own well-being,
10:07 and her alleged infidelity played a role in Sam's decision to file for divorce.
10:12 Despite the divorce, Britney seems to have moved on quickly and was seen spending time
10:18 with male friends in the video that she shared on her Instagram.
10:42 Here are all of the signs that Britney Spears and Sam Asghari's marriage was doomed to
10:47 fail from the start.
10:52 First up, Britney has a history of cheating, or at least cheating allegations thrown at
10:57 her.
10:58 For years there have been rumours about Britney's faithfulness in her relationships.
11:03 Like after she broke up with Justin Timberlake in the early 2000's, he released a song
11:08 that some thought might be about her.
11:15 And then people speculated that she had cheated on him with Wade Thompson, which supposedly
11:20 was the one that inspired the song.
11:27 Now this wasn't the only time that Britney Spears faced rumours of cheating.
11:31 When her relationship with Kevin Federline, the father of her kids, ended, similar rumours
11:36 started circling about her as well.
11:39 And then Britney quickly got together with JR Rodham, which added to the cheating allegations.
11:45 Now cheating is thought to be a significant factor in her split with Sam Asghari, and
11:50 it's been reported that Sam confronted Britney with accusations of cheating.
11:59 And although it's not known if these rumours are 100% true, their argument over this was
12:05 described as very intense and it led to the end of their relationship, according to various
12:11 sources.
12:12 There's also the fact that Britney has changed a lot, especially post conservatorship.
12:21 Britney and Sam have been together for about 7 years total, and when they first got together,
12:27 Britney was under a conservatorship that prevented her from getting married.
12:31 However, Sam was somebody who supported her during this time as she dealt with her legal
12:37 challenges and her family issues and all of that.
12:40 And when they eventually did get married, experts think that they went through a period
12:44 of intense happiness, of course that's called the honeymoon phase, but now that Britney
12:49 is enjoying her newfound independence and no longer under the conservatorship, she's
12:59 likely experiencing a whole lot of personal growth and personal change.
13:03 Additionally, the honeymoon phase tends to fade over time, which can reveal any hidden
13:09 problems within any relationship.
13:11 In speaking about this, one of the experts said, "Britney, who has had more freedom
13:16 to go where she wants and post on social media how she likes, might feel more independent
13:21 than ever.
13:22 It's possible that her newfound freedom has created some tension in the relationship."
13:27 Another big sign was that Britney Spears' family didn't even attend her wedding.
13:36 The pop princess then revealed her brother was never invited to her wedding, despite
13:40 reports.
13:41 Britney Spears and Sam got married in June of 2022, with only a small group of guests
13:46 present at the wedding.
13:47 People noticed that Britney's family, including her parents Jamie and Lynn Spears, and her
13:52 siblings Jamie Lynn Spears and Brian Spears were not there.
13:56 Even her two sons from her previous marriage with Kevin Federline didn't attend at all.
14:06 And it's also not even clear if Sam's parents attended, but at least two of his
14:10 older sisters, Faye and Maddie, were present at the wedding.
14:14 Another sign is just that they are in two different phases of their life.
14:19 Like when Britney Spears and Sam met, they were at different points in their careers,
14:23 partly because of their 13 year age difference.
14:26 Sam auditioned for Britney's music video Slumber Party back in 2016, while he was still
14:35 building his career through small roles, including in Fifth Harmony's music group.
14:42 On the other hand, Britney was already a well-established and well-known artist, with a Las Vegas residency
14:48 and a successful career.
14:50 And over the years, Sam supported Britney as she performed and made music, while he
14:55 was working to establish himself in the entertainment industry.
15:02 As Sam started getting roles in major films, Britney had been navigating her way out of
15:07 her conservatorship and was considering retirement.
15:11 So that right there shows that they are in two different places and maybe what they wanted
15:16 out of life just completely clashed.
15:18 They also lost a child, and this is one of the potential signs and challenges that this
15:22 relationship was doomed to fail.
15:25 Britney and Sam expressed their desire regarding having children.
15:30 And while Britney Spears expressed a possibility of wanting more children in the future, her
15:34 age might have posed some uncertainties about that possibility.
15:38 However, she was open to the idea and she does have two other children, but she doesn't
15:44 have any children with Sam.
15:46 And just before their wedding, Britney Spears announced her pregnancy, indicating that they
15:52 were attempting to start and build their family together.
15:56 But unfortunately, about a month later, the couple shared the sad news that they had experienced
16:01 a miscarriage and they released a joint statement about their loss on Instagram.
16:06 This was just a look at the signs that showed that Britney Spears and Sam Asghari's relationship
16:12 was doomed to fail.
16:14 I'm curious to know what you guys think about this.
16:17 Are there any more signs that you noticed?
16:19 Join the conversation down below and thanks for hanging out with me in another video here
16:24 on FTD News.
16:25 I'll catch you guys in the next one.
16:37 Here are all of the signs that Britney Spears and Sam Asghari's marriage was just doomed
16:41 to fail from the start.
16:46 First up, Britney has a history of cheating, or at least cheating allegations thrown at

18:07 There's also the fact that Britney has changed a lot, especially post-consumption.
18:14 Britney and Sam have been together for 7 years total, and when they first got together, Britney
18:21 was under a conservatorship that prevented her from getting married.

21:50 But unfortunately, about a month later, the couple shared the sad news that they had experienced
21:56 a miscarriage and they released a joint statement about their loss on Instagram.
22:10 Ok this might creep you out.
22:12 Britney Spears posted another video dancing and it's straight up creepy guys.
22:17 Check it out.
22:18 Do you think it's creepy?
22:19 Yeah, I know right?
22:20 Those were knives in her hands.
22:22 Like they couldn't be real.
22:24 No no.
22:25 They couldn't be real, right?
22:32 But then fans noticed something a little strange in a follow up video that she posted.
22:37 Britney Spears seemed to have gotten some cuts on her body while dancing with these
22:42 knives, allegedly.
22:44 In the newer video of her dancing that she posted to Instagram, Britney had a white bandage
22:50 around her arm.
22:57 As well as she also showed what looked like a cut on her upper thigh as she danced in
23:03 a polka dot top with a white bikini bottom.
23:07 And on that video, this is what she captioned it on Instagram.
23:11 My pretty woman top kinda cool after my briefing on polka dots.
23:16 Swipe to see both.
23:18 Ok so she's getting some attention here but her fans started getting really concerned
23:24 and just bombarding her with comments.
23:27 Because the visible injuries appeared the day after, Britney caused a lot of concern
23:31 among her fans when she shared that video where she was dancing with those two knives.
23:36 And in the video, Britney, she seems smiling and she's dancing like she normally does in
23:43 her Instagram videos.
23:44 And she's wearing the same outfit from the video before so it made people think like
23:49 hey, is she actually hurting herself here?
23:53 What's going on?
23:54 And one thing that caused people to get even more concerned is that at first the caption
23:58 of that video said "I started playing in the kitchen with knives today."
24:03 Yeah, I'm literally getting horror movie vibes here.
24:08 However, she later updated that caption to reassure everybody and this is what she said.
24:13 Don't worry, they are not real knives.
24:16 Halloween is soon.
24:18 I don't know about that one, Britney.
24:21 You know, you're saying that the knives aren't real but the only thing that doesn't seem
24:24 real is the caption.
24:26 The fact that she had to update it after everybody got so concerned.
24:30 But guys, what do you think?
24:32 Real or fake when it comes to the knives?
24:40 Strangely enough though, this isn't the first time that Britney Spears has been associated
24:44 with knives.
24:45 This is not a new thing at all and the story gets a little more creepy.
24:49 So we go back to May of 2023 where TMZ reported in the documentary Britney Spears, The Price
24:55 of Freedom
25:02 that Britney Spears had a long-standing fascination with knives and she would keep them under
25:07 her bed.
25:08 According to the documentary, Britney Spears lives in constant fear that somebody might
25:13 break into her home at night and restrain her and take her to a psychiatric ward.
25:19 So this got so concerning that towards the end of her 13-year conservatorship, access
25:30 to knives was restricted for Britney.
25:33 When her husband, Sam Asghari, was warned that he should "be afraid to sleep without
25:42 one eye open if she gets pissed."
25:45 Why?
25:47 Because she's more than capable of hurting him.
25:51 Also Britney Spears' younger sister, Jamie Lynn Spears, claimed in her 2022 memoir, Things
25:57 I Should Have Said, that her older sister, Britney, locked them in a room one time and
26:02 she threatened her with the knife.
26:05 Britney of course has denied these allegations.
26:09 To address those allegations, Britney wrote in a now-deleted tweet back in January of
26:14 2022, saying this, "I've never been around you ever with a knife or would I ever think
26:20 to do such.
26:22 The only knife I ever saw you with at home was cutting the biggest pieces of squash I
26:28 ever saw in my life and it was way too big for me to cut."
26:32 Britney Spears also posted another follow up video of her dancing, with no knives this
26:37 time and no apparent marks on her body.
26:41 In the caption, she told everyone, "Lighten up about the knives.
26:45 I'm copying Shakira."
26:47 This by the way, was a reference to Shakira's performance at the 2023 MTV VMAs where she
26:53 performed with knives.
26:55 After confirming her divorce to Sam Asghari on social media, Britney Spears waited no
26:59 time to let the world know she's ready to party again.
27:03 Britney Spears has already moved on from Sam Asghari but fans are worried that she's
27:07 just spiraling and looking for a rebound relationship or relationships.
27:12 "I invited my fav boys over and played all night."
27:16 Now, Britney Spears first posted a video on her Instagram where she is seen playfully
27:22 rolling around in bed without a top on.
27:25 This comes after her husband Sam Asghari filed for divorce.
27:37 In the video, Britney is wearing pink underwear and black knee high boots, lying on a white
27:42 comforter.
27:43 "I Put a Spell on You" by Annie Lennox plays in the background of the clip.
27:53 But then, this is where things get a little more strange.
27:56 She also shared another video on a night out with a group of men.
28:02 In one scene, one of the men is actually seen licking her leg.
28:07 It seems like she might be referring to her late night out when she visited Dave's Hot
28:12 Chicken in Oxnard, California where she was captured looking very tired by paparazzi with
28:18 that lemonade drink in her hand.
28:20 And on this post of this video where she's with a group of guys and the guy is licking
28:24 her leg, this is what the caption said.
28:33 I knew the pops were tipped off because the car I was in was never used before.
28:38 So how was I followed?
28:39 Malibu Canyon Road is the most horrible road ever to drive on.
28:44 So what does a bitch like me do?
28:46 "I put my green dress on and show up at my friend's place.
28:49 I invited my fav boys over and played all night."
28:52 Alright, ok, a little interesting here.
28:55 It doesn't appear that Britney is actually fully taking in what's happening in her life
28:59 at all and she's not even really processing it.
29:03 Clearly, this is a shot at Sam.
29:07 And I also know that she said before that her dance videos are something that help her
29:12 heal so that's why she keeps posting them.
29:14 But at the same time, she's also said that things aren't 100% ok with her despite what
29:19 people might see on her social media.
29:22 And normally when people are going through a divorce, they take some time away from social
29:26 media.
29:27 You know, they surround themselves with close friends and family and just process things
29:32 and not necessarily posting with a bunch of people.
29:42 Maybe these are close friends to Britney but she's already getting uncomfortably close
29:46 to other men even if they're really close friends.
29:50 And not to mention that Britney has also been accused of cheating on Sam.
29:54 But maybe people are just looking into the situation too much.
29:58 Maybe they're digging a little too deep and just making up some rumors here.
30:03 Maybe they're reading into the situation a little too deep.
30:06 Because Britney Spears or her representatives haven't flat out denied these cheating claims
30:11 yet.
30:12 But maybe Britney could just be having some fun trying to get her mind off of the stressful
30:16 divorce that she's going through.
30:17 But I wanna know what you guys think about this.
30:25 In any case, one source told the US Sun publication the following
30:30 Her behavior has become concerning and everyone is worried about her.
30:34 She has been acting increasingly erratic and is in a vulnerable state.
30:39 Sam was bearing the brunt and it proved too much.
30:42 It's also plunged to a new low and it's sad to see.
30:47 Also according to TMZ, there were suspicions from Sam Asghari that Britney Spears might
30:52 have been unfaithful to him.
30:54 Yeah.
30:55 TMZ says that Sam caught her cheating with a male house staff member.
30:59 Adding Britney had asked at least one staffer to shoot naked video of her.
31:02 And to get into this a little bit more, he specifically believed that he cheated on him
31:05 with a staff member at their home in Southern California.
31:10 And also he said that footage from the property seemed to suggest that Britney was involved
31:16 in this whole cheating situation.
31:19 Sam was also concerned that Britney, who was described as being in a vulnerable and hyper
31:24 sexualized state, had also asked a staff member to record her without clothes on.
31:31 Personal life is gonna be really really beautiful.
31:33 We got married.
31:34 We'll move.
31:35 We'll move on.
31:36 Sources also mention that Britney Spears' behaviour was seen as risky for her own well-being,
31:40 and her alleged infidelity played a role in Sam's decision to file for divorce.
31:46 Despite the divorce, though, Britney seems to have moved on quickly and was seen spending
31:52 time with male friends in the video that she shared on her Instagram.
31:57 So it looks like various different sources think that this video really supports Sam's
32:03 claim that Britney actually cheated on him.
32:12 Oh boy, Britney Spears has been spending time with her former housekeeper, Paul Richard
32:17 Solis, and this guy has a criminal history.
32:21 Some people say that she's dating him while she's going through her divorce now with Sam
32:26 Asghari.
32:27 And finally, Britney Spears' husband, Sam Asghari, has filed for divorce after 14 months
32:32 of marriage.
32:33 But there's conflicting information from different sources.
32:36 One source said that Britney didn't cheat, but they're together.
32:40 Another source said that they aren't dating anymore.
32:43 She came back from Mexico where she was and they decided to call it off.
32:48 But the initial source insists that they actually are still a couple.
32:52 And if that's the case, guys, I want to know, how do you feel about this?
32:55 Is this another horrible decision that Britney's making for herself?
32:59 According to some reports from the Daily Mail, Britney Spears and Paul Solis had a short
33:05 romantic relationship, but they have already ended it and are not communicating with each
33:15 other anymore.
33:18 But honestly, in my opinion, I think that they actually are seeing each other, even
33:21 though some sources are saying that they've called it off, they're not dating anymore.
33:26 Because if you're Britney and Paul, the last thing you want to do is have the media
33:29 hounding you, asking you questions about your love life and just going through all that.
33:33 You don't want to deal with that.
33:35 So why not just tell some of your sources to be like, tell the media that we're not
33:39 dating no more.
33:41 Like tell them to chill.
33:44 Britney Spears and Paul Solis, they were seen together on various outings in late August
33:48 of 2023, including a visit to Starbucks when they grabbed a coffee.
33:53 And one of the sources suggests that the reason why they haven't been seen together more
33:58 recently could be for the fact that Britney went to Mexico and he wouldn't be able to
34:03 leave because of his legal issues.
34:06 Paul Solis was fired by the Spears household, by the way, and they say that this is likely
34:11 because his criminal history came to light and he's faced multiple misdemeanor charges
34:16 and even a felony in the past.
34:18 His record includes disturbing the peace conviction and a dismissed child endangerment charge
34:23 in 2014, as well as driving without a license conviction in 2016 and a felony possession
34:30 of a firearm conviction in 2022.
34:34 People close to Britney Spears, they were reportedly very concerned about her relationship
34:39 with Paul Solis, believing that he just wasn't good for her at all.
34:44 They're saying, stay away, Britney, stay away.
34:47 Despite their lack of support as a couple, Britney continued to see him, albeit very
34:51 briefly though, because she felt he acted as her protector and provided her with a sense
34:57 of comfort.
35:01 Paul Solis had previously worked as a housekeeper for Britney and what he would do is clean
35:06 bathrooms as well as perform other tasks around the house.
35:10 More specifically, with his criminal history, Paul Solis was convicted back in 2004 of possession
35:16 of methamphetamine with the intent to sell and received a four-year sentence in state
35:23 prison.
35:24 Then, fast forward in 2019, he was arrested for disturbing the peace through offensive
35:29 words and spent two days in LA County Jail and he was placed on probation and mandatory
35:35 supervision for 36 months.
35:38 And more recently, in December of 2020, Paul Solis was arrested for possession of a firearm
35:44 as a prohibited person.
35:46 In early 2023, he served the three-month jail sentence for that offense and he had a probation
35:53 violation hearing in September of 2023 and expressed his desire to improve his public
35:59 image as he left the courtroom.
36:02 So is this just another guy that is going to get tangled up with Britney, milk her for
36:08 her millions of dollars?
36:10 Because this just seems to be the trajectory that Britney Spears always finds herself on.
36:22 Or do you think that Paul Solis is just a guy that has had some rough run-ins in the
36:28 past with the law and he's trying to clean himself up and that's going to take some time?
36:33 I don't know guys, what are your thoughts about this?
36:36 Again, I personally think that they are still seeing each other and they're just saying
36:40 that they're not and trying to make it seem like they're not, but I could be wrong.
36:45 Again, we're getting multiple different reports from different sources about this, so there's
36:50 really no 100% definitive statement about whether or not they actually are still together,
36:57 but most reports are leaning towards them not actually dating anymore.
37:00 She posted a video dancing with two butcher's knives.
37:04 She's spinning them.
37:05 But when you hear them clang together...
37:08 So do you remember that Britney Spears dancing with the knives video?
37:12 So after that video, things then escalated quickly after people started to freak out,
37:17 especially after Britney posted a follow-up video.
37:27 And it showed what appeared to be some cuts and bruises on her skin.
37:32 And it turns out that it wasn't just her fans who got a little bit worried and creeped out
37:36 after seeing these videos, but somebody close to Britney actually called the cops on her.
37:42 The police took the call from somebody who's close to Britney Spears and they decided to
37:46 check in on her.
37:48 And Britney did post in an Instagram caption that the knives were fake, but still, you
37:53 know, the cops just wanted to make sure that everything was cool.
37:56 Captain Dean Worthy of the Ventura County Sheriff's Office, he confirmed to various
38:01 media outlets that one of their sergeants, who has dealt with many incidences involving
38:07 Britney over the years, went to her place.
38:10 And here's what the officer had to say about this.
38:13 Somebody close to Britney had seen the video posted on social media where she's dancing
38:18 and twirling with knives in her hands, and they were really concerned for her mental
38:22 well-being.
38:23 And Captain Dean Worthy, he stated that the police verified that the person who requested
38:29 the wellness check had a connection with Britney Spears and wasn't just simply some fan or
38:35 just some random person that was calling in, "Hey, we're concerned about Britney.
38:39 She posted this.
38:40 Can you check in on her?"
38:41 No.
38:42 He went on to say this.
38:43 "We would normally not respond to fans calling in about a celebrity unless we actually believe
38:47 that there is a credible threat.
38:49 However, we vetted this individual through LAPD and we determined this is someone who
38:54 knows Britney on a personal basis."
38:57 But then what happens next left a lot of her fans really confused and still a little bit
39:03 unsettled.
39:04 So get this.
39:05 When the police arrived at Britney Spears' residence in Thousand Oaks, California, they
39:09 communicated with the security staff through an intercom.
39:13 And the security staff informed them that Britney was fine and that there was absolutely
39:19 no issues.
39:20 However, they were reluctant to allow the officer to physically see Britney.
39:26 And they also said that Britney didn't want to talk to the police about this at the time.
39:31 So after talking to Britney Spears' attorney and her security, the police officer and the
39:37 rest of his team, they were satisfied that she was not in any harm or any danger or anything,
39:43 but they didn't actually see Britney for themselves.
39:47 And as you could imagine, you know, this divided her fan base because on one hand, this was
39:52 still a little bit concerning for many people because of course, you know, Britney's team
39:57 is going to say that she is fine and the cops never actually visually verified that she
40:03 was okay for themselves.
40:05 But then again, this is a cop that is relatively familiar with Britney and there's a lot of
40:11 fans that are saying that, well, people should just leave Britney alone.
40:14 Like if there actually was an issue with her, her team would say so.
40:19 You know, there's no conspiracy here.
40:20 No cover up.
40:21 Britney is fine and just trying to live her life and have some fun.
40:30 Either way, the cops determined that there was no criminal activity involved and they
40:35 didn't want to force their way into the home when there was no evidence of a crime.
40:40 So they left.
40:41 And a source close to Britney revealed that her actions, including dancing with knives,
40:46 was intentional and it was meant to pay homage to Shakira's 2023 VMA performance where she
40:53 also danced with knives.
40:55 And the source went on to explain that it was not a sign of distress or anything like
41:00 she's not mentally ill, but rather it was just a deliberate artistic expression that
41:05 was inspired by Shakira's performance.
41:08 To Britney Spears and some really, really good news for her.
41:12 Her memoir, The Woman in Me, which came out this week is doing gangbusters, as they say.
41:16 It is breaking records for memoir sales.
41:18 Britney Spears' memoir, The Woman in Me, has not just saved her career, but it perhaps
41:24 has saved her life also.
41:32 In a post that Britney made on her official X account, she expressed gratitude to her
41:37 fans and she claimed that her book, The Woman in Me, has broken records in the celebrity
41:43 memoir genre.
41:44 Will they sell them?
41:45 I don't know.
41:46 But the 400,000 is big.
41:47 Not as big as Prince Harry for the first week.
41:50 I think that was 1.3 million.
41:51 This suggests that her memoir has outsold Prince Harry's book, Spare, which set a Guinness
41:57 World Record back in January of 2023 as the fastest selling nonfiction book ever with
42:04 1.4 million release day sales.
42:08 And here's what Britney wrote on social media.
42:10 It's happening.
42:11 Britney's book is the highest selling celebrity memoir in history and it's only day one.
42:16 Thank you to the fans who have been so supportive.
42:19 Love you all.
42:25 Britney is also set to make some bank from her book sales because she's entitled to 25%
42:31 of the book's net profits.
42:41 And this percentage will take into account the 12.5 million dollar advance that she received
42:46 for the book.
42:47 Despite earlier reports saying that the advance was 15 million, it's now confirmed that it
42:52 was 12.5 million.
42:54 In the United States, The Woman in Me is currently retailing at Amazon at $23.05 and it's marked
43:01 down from the original price of $32.99.
43:03 And the Kindle edition is available for $16.99 while the audio CD is priced at $29.69.
43:20 With over 400,000 copies sold on release day and the sales trajectory that people are seeing,
43:27 the book will set a record for sure.
43:31 And it's going to be hard to beat this record when it sets it.
43:39 If we do the math, let's take the $23.05 for the hardcover copy alone and multiply that
43:45 by 400,000 copies sold, we have 9,222,000 in a single day.
43:51 And this does not include pre-sale numbers which saw 9 million copies being sold as well
43:57 as other formats like audiobooks and the Kindle version.
44:01 There was also another post on the account BritneyTheStan on October 19th, 2023.
44:07 And this is what the post said.
44:09 Britney Spears has already broken the Guinness World Record for fastest selling non-fiction
44:13 book of all time, which was set by Prince Harry with 3 million copies in the first week.
44:19 #TheWomanInMe has already sold 9 million in pre-orders alone.
44:25 So guys if this is true, Britney Spears is literally smashing records.
44:31 And this is just at the time of recording this video, so the release day sales most
44:36 likely is going to go up, especially when the publishing company, Simon & Schuster,
44:41 published the official report of like, this is the actual sales once we confirmed and
44:46 tallied everything.
44:50 With that said, of course the publishing company, Simon & Schuster, has to recoup the costs
44:55 of the 12.5 million dollars that they already paid to Britney, plus other costs related
45:00 to the production and distribution of the book.
45:07 And then after that, Britney Spears will be getting 25% of the net sales profits.
45:13 Not bad at all guys, not bad at all.
45:15 We've seen Britney really set herself up on a whole new trajectory.
45:20 And it's definitely a career saver and really a life saver.
45:24 A lot of people were concerned like she was going in the gutter.
45:27 This seems to be a big win for her and she really deserves it.
45:38 Especially when you consider that she's literally paying out $40,000 per month in
45:42 child support to her ex-husband Kevin Federline.
45:53 And also she's going through a divorce with Sam Asghari, which of course costs money.
45:58 Britney definitely knows that this is a big win for her and even in her memoir she wrote
46:04 this
46:05 In my 40s I'm trying things for what feels like the first time.
46:09 I feel like the woman in me was pushed down for so long.
46:13 Now finally I'm roaring back to life.
46:16 She also did say that she is, and I quote, "trying to rebuild my life day by day.
46:23 There's been a lot of speculation about how I'm doing.
46:26 I know my fans care.
46:28 I'm free now.
46:29 I'm just being myself and trying to heal."
