Singer Britney Spears’ ex-husband, Jason Alexander, has been arrested and charged with stalking and posted $100,000 bail after he allegedly tried to sneak in at the star’s wedding to the pop, held last week .
As the US newspaper “The New York Post” reported on Tuesday, prosecutors from the California district of Ventura also accuse the 40-year-old Alexander of the crimes of trespassing and refusing to leave private property, vandalism and assault. Judges in the case have also granted Spears protection and a restraining order from Alexander, which will expire on June 13, 2025.
The defendant pleaded not guilty to all charges and denied all allegations against him, according to the New Yorker newspaper.
Spears’ attorney Matthew Rosengart said after the hearing that authorities and prosecutors “clearly take this very, very seriously.” “I am personally outraged by what happened,” the attorney said, emphasizing the stalking charge. “This is serious business,” added Rosengart. “This is not a ‘marriage accident.’ It was a surprising infiltration, as we all saw.”
Britney Spears’ ex-husband last Thursday attempted to disrupt the singer’s wedding to Sam Asghari, her boyfriend of four, by breaking into her home before the couple were due to marry in a private ceremony. Alexander was arrested outside Spears’ mansion, Thousand Oaks, and was initially being held on $2,500 bail for the incident.
The prisoner, who married the interpreter of “Baby One More Time” during a trip to Las Vegas (USA) in 2004, but signed the divorce 55 hours later, managed to break into Spears’ house and record the preparations for the connection . The man managed to bypass security at the Southern California mansion and live streamed it via his Instagram moments before the ceremony. “Britney Spears invited me here. She is my first wife, my only wife. I am her first husband. I’m here to prevent the wedding,” he yelled at security as the transmission continued and before he was arrested.
Spears’ wedding was intended to be a private event with fewer than a hundred guests; In fact, neither the parents nor the children of the singer were invited to it. But finally, thanks to the pictures received last weekend, you could see that it was a great party, where the bride wore four dresses (the wedding dress designed by Donatella Versace, plus three others in green, red and black). dance) and where the Italian dressmaker herself was invited, as well as Paris Hilton, Selena Gomez, Drew Barrymore or Madonna. Spears arrived at the ceremony with Asghari in a white carriage decorated with pink roses and pulled by a white horse.
In addition to Jason Alexander, whom she specifically married in early 2004, the singer is married to dancer Kevin Federline. Their marriage took place in September of the same year, although their legal union took place a few months later, in November, in a Los Angeles (California) court. The couple had two sons, Sean Preston and Jaden James. She lost custody of the children in 2007 and regained it in 2008 when the couple reached an agreement to share the children equally. Last April, the interpreter announced that she and Asghari were expecting her third child and him the first, but a month later they announced that they had lost him.
