Yesterday, TMZ first reported that Sam was filing for divorce from the singer. Speculation emerged that Sam will be contesting the prenup, including a report from Page Six that went as far as to claim that Sam would release "extraordinarily embarrassing" information on Britney if it was not renegotiated.
Amid the rumors, some cast their minds back to a certain comment that Octavia Spencer left way back when:
For context, back in September 2021, Sam and Britney first announced that they were engaged.
Which led Oscar-winning actor Octavia Spencer to comment, "Make him sign a prenup" on Britney's engagement post.
It even got to the point where Sam seemingly responded by saying, "Of course we're getting [an] iron-clad prenup to protect my Jeep and shoe collection [in case] she dumps me one day."
Octavia ended up apologizing for her comment, writing in a followup post, "Y’all, a few days ago Sam and Britney announced their engagement, and me being me I made a joke. My intention was to make them laugh not cause pain. I’ve reached out to this lovely couple privately to apologize and now want to restore just a smidge of happiness they were robbed of."
However, after Page Six published its report claiming that Sam was attempting to use information to change the prenup earlier today, Octavia hopped back into the chat by replying, "Extortion is illegal."
BuzzFeed has reached out to representatives for Sam and Britney for comment.
UPDATE A rep for Sam told Entertainment Tonight, "There are many claims that Sam is challenging the prenup and threatening to exploit his ex-wife with videos. However, all these claims are false."
