Was Prince Charming just a nightmare after all?
For seven years, Sam Asghari, 29, was the man who gave fallen pop princess Britney Spears, 41, the support she so desperately needed. Or so it seemed. But after the former dream couple announced their separation this week, great love seems to have turned into a bitter war of roses: HE accuses her of hitting him and cheating on him with one of her housekeepers. Asghari then filed for divorce.
Now the turning point: The American Ashley Franke raises serious allegations against Sam Asghari. The 29-year-old allegedly molested her during his marriage to Britney. Franke also accuses the model of cheating on his wife.
Shortly after the breakup became known, Ashley Franke wrote in her stories that she was not surprised by the couple’s love-off. Britney’s ex was her fitness coach, according to Franke. In a statement on Instagram, she writes:
“Sam was one of my personal trainers (and a friend) when I was training at Royal Personal Training in Beverly Hills. He cheated on Britney all the time while they were together and also after they got married. I should just send screenshots of his messages to Britney’s lawyers. I think I will. The girl has been through so much, he used the poor thing.”
Asghari sexually harassed her by sending her “unwanted photos of himself,” Ashley Franke said. He later asked her if she wanted to have sex with him “in the gym shower.” That happened more often.
She never responded to his advances and ended up leaving the studio because Sam’s advances had become too much for her, says Franke.
He also harassed other customers of the studio in this way.
Franke continued: “I find it so absurd that he now claims that Britney cheated on him when he knew exactly what he was up to from day one. His intention was to become famous when he started dating her. He was always dishonest with her and made fun of it with his clients at the gym. His colleagues supported him in this.”
Neither Spears nor Asghari have commented on the allegations.
