Britney Spears Posted A Fiery Message About Her Exes
Britney Spears was serious when she said "Don't you know that you're toxic?" in 2003.
Now, two years after Britney and Sam Asghari's divorce, after only 14 months of marriage, she shared a now-deleted message about two unspecified exes on social media while expressing her ability to connect with animals.
"I'm so turned off by humanity and the way people have literally … I have no words !!!" Britney began in the June 10 post.
"I dated two fucking complete assholes," she said, noting she had an "extremely shady week."
"I realized I loved their dogs more than them and I think it's because their dogs bowed to me every time I entered the room!!!"
"Now the guys were of course cruel humans that never even acknowledged me and never held my hand in the car for 6 years !!!" Britney added. "I choose animals over people anyday!!!"
Britney's had several high-profile relationships over the years, most notably with Justin Timberlake from 1999—2002.
Then, she married her backup dancer, Kevin Federline, with whom she shares two sons, Sean Preston, 19, and Jayden, 18. They divorced in 2007.
In 2016, Britney met Sam Asghari on the music video set for "Slumber Party," and they were married in June 2022. In August 2023, Sam filed for divorce.
On a June 2 episode of the Trading Secrets podcast with Bachelor alum Jason Tartick, Sam spoke about his divorce from Britney, saying he "wanted her to have a prenup."
"I wanted to make sure she's protected, because throughout her life, everybody—I don't know one person that's ever been in her life that didn't take advantage of her," Sam continued. "It's very sad. I wanted to make sure that I'm the person that don't do that."
Sam said he doesn't get mad at the fans or the public for their speculation about his relationship with Britney. "Looking from an outside perspective," Sam added. "I see there's an age difference, there's a fame difference, there's this, there's that. But realistically, we met as costars."
While it's not clear if Sam's recent podcast appearance triggered Britney's response or which exes she was talking about, someone was toxic, and she doesn't want a taste of that poison paradise anymore.

We hate each other but we can't afford to get divorced
If anyone knows of a three-bedroom flat in west London going for under £500 a month, I'd love to hear about it. Otherwise, I'm looking at a future of house-sharing with the husband I'm desperate to divorce. He's equally sick of me, but as it stands, we are trapped in our four-bed Victorian terrace together for the foreseeable. The situation is miserable for us, and I'm certain it's equally stressful for our daughters. I've been married to Sam, who works in the music industry, for 11 years. We've been separated for nearly eighteen months and, at 40 and 42, we're young enough to start again. But I can't imagine how I'd ever get a new relationship off the ground when my grumpy ex is cooking in the kitchen, or stomping about in the converted attic bedroom where he now sleeps. Our marriage was always quite volatile, but when I was younger it seemed exciting and we both enjoyed the passionate making-up after the rows. But once we had the girls, that kind of relationship began to seem childish and damaging for them to witness. I realised quite quickly though that Sam didn't want to change. He was wedded to the idea of himself as 'exciting' and was terrified of domesticity and 'settling down'. As a result, he still wanted to go out most nights while I was exhausted from juggling young children and working part-time, and didn't want to spend my 30s racketing around dodgy pubs watching rock bands. Things came to a head post-pandemic. We were already struggling financially, and it wasn't viable to pay for full-time childcare as I earned less than it would cost. Sam didn't work during lockdown at all and, after that, Brexit badly affected the touring music industry and his income dropped. He wouldn't even consider looking for another job, and we argued constantly about money and his immature attitude. In the end, we agreed we'd come to the end of the road and very sadly decided to separate. Sam was going to move out to a nearby flat that the girls (who are now aged eight and 10) could visit regularly, but that dream died when we looked at rental prices. With our mortgage, there's no spare money. If we divorce and sell the house, we'll lose thousands in legal fees, and we'll both be left struggling to afford two tiny flats. Plus, we have damp we've not been able to afford to fix so we'd have to drop the price. It's much better for the girls to stay in their current home rather than living in a studio flat over a kebab shop. Sadly, Sam's parents aren't around, my dad's long gone, and my mum lives in a small flat in Derbyshire, so family support isn't an option. I know the girls like having us both here, although at weekends we do things separately with them – I'll take them swimming, or he'll drive them to dance class. They know we aren't 'together', and that Dad sleeps in the spare room, though we try hard to be civil and pleasant to each other when they're around. But on the days when I'm home, I find his presence very oppressive – he'll leave his stuff all over the kitchen, as if he's marking his territory, or he'll be in his room listening to new bands at ear-splitting volume. I'm too tired of it all to row with him, but I long to have some space of my own. We generally cook separately – I'll eat with the girls, then he'll grab something before he goes out to a gig, or if he's in, he'll take his dinner to watch TV while I read or work on the laptop. Sometimes we'll watch something as a family, but as soon as the girls are in bed, it feels too weird to continue watching TV as if we're still a couple. Very rarely, we'll cook and eat together with the kids, but when we do, all the conversation is directed at them. As for friends, we've always had largely separate groups, so I'll have a friend over while he's out, and he'll meet his mates in the pub. We were never 'dinner party people' with 'couple friends', so we've not had that awkwardness at least. But the fact remains – I don't love Sam any more, and I hate living with him. Our situation is a constant reminder of everything that was wrong with our relationship. I think he's indifferent to me, and I feel like a single parent with an extra teenager thumping around. I'd like to try dating, but I can't imagine what men would think about my living arrangements, particularly as there's no end in sight. Friends have suggested leaving London and moving up North where property is cheaper, but my job (as a fashion buyer) is here, Sam's work is here, and I won't take the girls away from their dad – plus, they're happy at school, stable at home, and neither of us wants to subject them to a marital split, huge house move and change of school. For now, we're stuck muddling along, biting our tongues and trying to pretend our ridiculous set-up is manageable. I know it isn't feasible long term, but right now, I don't have a plan. Perhaps in a year or two, one will emerge. For all our sakes, I hope so. As told to Flic Everett *All names have been changed Broaden your horizons with award-winning British journalism.

I got fed up with regular Bluetooth speakers, so I'm using one shaped like a sci-fi Martian robot instead — here's why you should too
If you were to stack all the best Bluetooth speakers together in one big pile, you'd very quickly realise that they all look very similar. Some are tubes of different colors, some are boxes with handles, and some are supposed to look like amplifiers from classic rock brands. If you're anything like me, that can mean things feel a little boring. Well, along came Gravastar and this ridiculous thing. It's the Mars Pro, a mono Bluetooth speaker which is designed to look like a robot war machine thing from, I presume, Mars, and I love every single thing about it. I think you might too., Despite its bizarre styling, the Gravastar Mars Pro is actually a really good Bluetooth speaker. Its mono sound is powerful, and if you get two, you can connect them together for extra stereo sound. It's not the cheapest, but those looks have to count for something, right? I'd hesitate to call it a work of art, but the Gravastar Mars Pro brings the fun unlike just about any other Bluetooth speaker. It's a weird ball thing on mechanical legs, covered with bits and greeblies likes something from a budget sci-fi film in the 90s. Is it up everyone's street? Almost certainly not. I can't imagine there are millions of people clamoring for a Martian walker from War of the Worlds that plays Britney at top volume, but there are some. And I am one. Those legs are articulated to some degree, so you can kind of pose the speaker. For the most part, it's going to be fairly static, though. It's a statement piece, something that draws the eye of visitors and makes them ask, "What on earth is that thing in the corner of your room, and why does its eye thing follow me around the room — please turn it around." Everything is topped off by those RGB lights. I'd say this is the first time I've seen a Bluetooth speaker where I've appreciated the lights. Generally, they feel a bit like a gimmick — they're never going to actually power a party. Here they're an accent to increase the Sci-Fi looks, and I'm a massive fan. My mom was not — one look at the speaker and she asked me to put it back in the box. And, like every person who is still 13 years old at heart, I simply moved it closer. It's also built like a tank. There's metal in them there legs, and the whole thing feels reassuringly hefty. It goes some way to justifying that slightly loftier price. "Oooh, stereo this, stereo that..." I'm guilty of it — if it's not at least two channels, I don't want to know. Except I found that when listening to the Gravastar Mars Pro, I didn't really care. It sounds excellent, not just for a weird Bluetooth speaker with a single audio channel, but for a Bluetooth speaker in general. That "plays audio out of the front, glowing eye" thing does mean that the audio is fairly directional. You have to be sitting in front of the speaker for it to sound its best, but given you're unlikely to make it face the wall (unless your guest demands it), you're generally going to be in the cone of sonic influence. And when you are, you're in for a bit of a treat. I'd never call it 'HiFi' — it's not, and it's not intended to be. But it is big, loud, and very much in charge. There's some decent detail to proceedings, good mid-range representation, and then some fairly powerful bass that we're fed through the passive bass radiator on the back. Fit for an Autopsy's The Sea of Tragic Beasts brings the slam, and the little bass radiator on the back of the Mars Pro gets moving. That characteristic sub-tone from the band is very well represented, shaking the table the speaker sits on. The drums are impactful and full, while the crunchy guitar distortion shows plenty of edge to keep things heavy. The cymbals can get a little lost amongst the rest of the din, but for a small speaker, things are very tasty indeed. Loads of fun. Given it's style, there's no way you can't try out The Eve of the War from Jeff Wayne's Musical Version Of The War of the Worlds. Those string swells are deep and wide, giving plenty of presense. The synth line is well seperated from the rest of the ensemble, while the shaker cuts through. Richard Burton's dulcet tones rumble, as the Martians launch their way to Earth. I presume they look something like this speaker. What lots of speaker manufacturers forget is that audio is supposed to be fun. Making everything into austere grey boxes or colored tubes that look like every other waterproof speaker around isn't fun. Making your speaker look like a three-legged death machine that's going to melt down your mom to feed the alien war machine is fun. And that's something that Gravastar seem to have gotten so right with the Mars Pro. It sounds good yes, and it's very well made, but it's the sense of fun that the speaker exudes that sets it apart from just about everything else. I spent a good hour posing various different action figures with the speaker before I'd even started listening to music — and I think that speaks volumes.
