Sam Asghari is coming for the New York Times after alleging they broke an agreement
Los Angeles, California – Sam Asghari, the infamous fiancé of Britney Spears, is claiming that the New York Times broke an agreement when It came to the publication's profile of the actor.
On November 13, the New York Times ran a feature story on Asghari, titled, "More Than Mr. Britney Spears."
By the looks of his Instagram, the personal trainer and actor was not thrilled with the headline or the context of the piece itself.
On Monday, Asghari wrote a message on his Instagram Story calling out the publication for allegedly breaking a written agreement they had previously made.
"I have great respect for ethical journalism and every other publication in six years has honored the same agreement that [the] New York Times broke," Asghari wrote.
Along with the on-screen text, the 27-year-old included a screenshot of what appears to be part of the agreement he claims was broken, which states that the story should be about his life, "As a personal trainer and actor," and thus, "It would not include coverage of his fiancé or her conservatorship."
The New York Times article in question was published several hours after the news broke that his famed fiancé's conservatorship had officially been terminated, and openly references Spears' ongoing legal battles.
If Asghari and the publication did in fact agree to not mention Spears at all, then Asghari certainly has some ground to stand on with his complaint regarding the article.
"I'm always learning," Asghari wrote. "In this case, I was surprised even the most reputable publication [would] break a written agreement."
Despite whether his feelings about the piece are valid, fans of Spears were quick to remind Asghari that the New York Times might've played a hand in freeing Spears from her 13-year conservatorship.
Some even insinuated that Asghari himself might not be the loving fiancé he's made out to be, but rather a wolf in sheep's clothing.
One Twitter user wrote, "You need to ask yourselves why Scam Asghari and his partner Maxi are trying to influence their followers to send hate to @nytimes when it was their evidence that literally got Jamie removed? Keep telling on yourselves."
While there have been questions raised about Asghari's authenticity when it comes to his relationship with Spears, there has been little to no evidence to back up such claims. At least, not yet.
