Britney Spears' husband has addressed the 'disgusting' way in which people behave towards his wife.
Sam Asghari - who recently broke his silence over rumours that he and Britney have split up - has come to the defence of his loved one.
After the duo tied the knot last year, fans of the pop icon became concerned after the married couple were spotted without heir wedding rings.

However, a spokesperson of Asghari cleared up the speculation via a statement provided to Entertainment Tonight.
"Sam is not having marital issues. He simply took off his ring because he is filming a movie," they said.
And now the actor and fitness trailer, 29, has issued a scathing rant on his Instagram story on Sunday (14 May).
Asghari compared Britney's issues with her father with the current circumstances.
The 41-year-old had her 13-year conservatorship terminated in November 2021, as her husband says 'she didn't have a voice' at the time.
"The last thing I want to do is speak on my wife's behalf, I will never do that. I respect her privacy, that's why I don't talk as much," he said.
"I found it absolutely disgusting for the people that were in her life at the time when she didn't have a voice, they went and told her story like it was theirs.
"It was absolutely disgusting."
Britney's hubby then questioned how fans are still able to spread rumours about the pop star, despite her going through such a difficult time.
He continued: "How are you gonna take the most influential person of our generation, the princess of pop, America's sweetheart, and put her in prison, where her father tells her what to do, what water to drink, who to see, and use her as a money-making machine and then all of a sudden, after 15 years, when she's free after all [that] gaslighting and all those things that went down, now you're gonna put her under a microscope and tell her story?
"No. That's also disgusting, so don't do that."
Without addressing anyone in particular, it seems that his frustrations may have partially been aimed at the upcoming documentary TMZ Investigates: Britney Spears: The Price of Freedom.
Back in December, Asghari also defended his wife after she drew backlash for posting nude photos of herself on Instagram.
"The only person in the world that gets bullied for posting things like this," he wrote in a comment shared to his Instagram Story.
"I personally preferred she never posted these but who am I to control someone that's been under a microscope and been controlled for most of her life."
