As Sam Asghari files for divorce after just 14 months of marriage, it seems he’s not happy with his prenuptial agreement, which would leave him without a financial sum from the pop star’s fortune, according to TMZ.
Our sources say there's a big reason Britney might feel compelled to write him a substantial check. https://t.co/eQbSeLReZn
This is because, according to the contract, Asghari would be entitled to no financial compensation, no amount in alimony and would not be allowed to divulge any personal information about his ex-wife’s private life thanks to a concrete NDA, but…

…Spears’ ex is reportedly still looking for a way to thwart the prenup.
According to TMZ, Asghari’s divorce papers filed earlier this week include a request for alimony.

Sam could use blackmail to get what he wants. The fact that he holds a lot of confidential information about the star could force Spears to pay him a large sum of money… in exchange for his silence!
But first, he’ll have to circumvent, or violate, her non-disclosure agreement (NDA).

The story of Michael Oher and the Tuohy family, depicted in the 2009 film The Blind Side and starring Sandra Bullock, has made headlines in recent days as the former NFL star accuses his adoptive family of taking financial advantage of him.
Tuohy family lawyer responds to Michael Oher’s allegations:
“When we’re talking about a conservatorship, we’re not talking about high-profile Hollywood cases. We’re talking about a family trying to help someone in need…They treated him like a son…They don’t need his money.” pic.twitter.com/e47muxkLdL
But, while Michael Oher claims that the parents who were supposed to have adopted him would have instead taken advantage of him and his success via a guardianship contract, the family counters by claiming that Oher would have instead tried to extort $15 million from them just before these allegations were made public!
«The idea that the family ever sought to profit off Mr. Oher is not only offensive, it is transparently ridiculous.» says the lawyer representing the Tuohys.

«In reality, the Tuohys opened their home to Mr. Oher, offered him structure, support and, most of all, unconditional love. They have consistently treated him like a son and one of their three children. His response was to threaten them, including saying that he would plant a negative story about them in the press unless they paid him $15 million.» say the Tuohy’s lawyers.
According to Page Six, a source close to Bullock says she is absolutely distraught by the allegations and heartbroken.
«There was so much hard work put into the film that they all though was the truth and now that has been questioned, it just upsets Sandra to no end that a time in her life was so special, is now shadowed with a completely different perspective.» says a source close to the star.
This scandal comes at a very bad time for the star, who has just lost her longtime boyfriend Bryan Randall, who died after a tough battle with ALS.
While Elon Musk seems to have finally backed out of the fight he’s been planning with his rival for months, Mark Zuckerberg seems to have already put Musk on the back burner and is actively looking for a new fight…with anyone, really.
According to TMZ, Zuckerberg has even asked UFC president Dana White to find him an opponent, and according to White, there’s no shortage of replacement candidates.
Even if Zuckerberg isn’t yet the caliber of professional fighter with a lot of experience, it would still be very possible to see him fight someone new to the business.
This new development lends further support to the theory that it was Musk, of all people, who chickened out!
