Britney Spears Thanked Her Fans For Their Support Amid Her Split From Sam Asghari

This past week, it was reported that Britney Spears and Sam Asghari will be splitting up after six years together and 14 months of marriage. Since the news broke, their impending divorce has been plagued by several rumors, including rumors that Asghari is attempting to extort Spears, and reportedly claiming that Spears beat him while he was sleeping.

But despite these reports, Asghari seemed to be at peace with the split when he took to his Instagram story to share the news. Spears herself took to Instagram last night, sharing a video of herself dancing, and thanking fans for their support.

“In some sort of telepathic way, I have been receiving so many messages that melt my heart from friends and I thank you!!!,” said Spears in the post’s caption. “I’ve been playing it strong for way too long and my Instagram may seem perfect but it’s far from reality and I think we all know that.”

“As everyone knows, Hesam and I are no longer together … 6 years is a long time to be with someone so, I’m a little shocked but … I’m not here to explain why because its honestly nobody’s business !!! But, I couldn’t take the pain anymore honestly !!! In some sort of telepathic way I have been receiving so many messages that melt my heart from friends and I thank you !!! I’ve been playing it strong for way too long and my Instagram may seem perfect but it’s far from reality and I think we all know that !!! I would love to show my emotions and tears on how I really feel but some reason I’ve always had to hide my weaknesses !!! If I wasn’t my dad’s strong soldier, I would be sent away to places to get fixed by doctors !!! But that’s when I needed family the most !!! You’re supposed to be loved unconditionally … not under conditions !!!! So I will be as strong as I can and do my best !!! And I’m actually doing pretty damn good !!! Anyways have a good day and don’t forget to smile !!!”
