Britney Spears, the pop icon arrested on suspicion of DUI in Ventura County last week, has drawn public defence from her ex-husband Sam Asghari, who likened her long-term mistreatment to the oppression of women in his native Iran.
The 44-year-old singer was pulled over driving erratically on 4 March 2026, booked early the next morning, and released after her blood alcohol tested below the legal limit. Asghari aired his views on 'Piers Morgan Uncensored' this week, insisting Spears remains a 'strong woman' capable of rebounding.
