It has been alleged that Asghari is attempting to alter the terms of the prenuptial agreement that he and Spears previously agreed upon.

The insider told the publication the 29-year-old star is “attempting to negotiate concessions beyond his prenup and threatening to go public with extraordinarily embarrassing information about Britney unless he gets paid.”

Britney hired her in 2008 when she was in a custody battle with her ex-husband Kevin Federline for their two sons, Sean Preston (now 17) and Jayden (now 16).

The outlet notes they don’t know if the rumor was true, but the 29-year-old believed it, and they had a “huge fight.” Insiders said he even moved out of their house and has been living in own his place.
