“Everyone, a few days ago Sam and Britney announced their engagement and I, being me, made a joke,” Spencer wrote in an Instagram post with a photo of the two. “My intention was to make them laugh and not cause pain. I contacted this lovely couple in private to apologize and now I want to restore just a little bit of happiness that they stole from them.”
When the couple announced their engagement over the weekend, Spencer had commented that Spears should make sure Asghari signed a prenuptial agreement.
“Britney fans have seen her in a lot of pain and she has found happiness. We are thrilled for her,” Spencer added in his headline Wednesday. “So let’s show them love. #Nonegativity.”
Asghari commented on Spencer’s post and wrote, “You are very kind to clarify it, but I have no feelings at all. Jokes and misconceptions come with the territory.”
