Britney Spears reportedly cracked her head open during an alleged “explosive” fight with her husband, Sam Asghari, prior to their divorce, a new TV special claimed.

TMZ founder Harvey Levin alleged in Britney Spears: Divorce & Despair, which aired Thursday on Fox in the US, that the now-estranged couple once had a blowout argument in London that resulted with the Toxic singer becoming seriously injured and requiring medical attention.

“She and Sam were going at it in a hotel room, and it got so bad [that] she tripped and hit the coffee table, cracking her head open,” Levin claimed. “She needed stitches.”

There is no suggestion Asghari caused the injury.

Lawyers for Spears and Asghari did not immediately respond to Page Six’s requests for comment.

Executive producer Charles Latibeaudiere said in the ‘TMZ Investigates’ episode that Spears’ alleged “volatility” ultimately became “too much” for Asghari “to take,” so the actor went to court on August 16 to end their marriage after just 14 months.

The outlet previously reported that Asghari, 29, suspected Spears, 41, had been cheating on him with a staff member at her home, and that the pop star once allegedly physically attacked the former personal trainer while he was asleep, leaving him with a black eye.

Sources close to Spears denied these allegations.

“There was no cheating. And he’s 6 foot 2 and she’s 5 foot 4, so how could she attack him?” one insider told Page Six.

Neither the Grammy winner nor the Hacks star have publicly addressed TMZ’s reports, though they have both spoken out about their separation.

The former couple have been embroiled in negative headlines about an alleged toxic relationship.

Asghari tersely wrote on Instagram on August 17 that “s**t happens,” while Spears told her 42 million followers two days later that she “was a little shocked” but “couldn’t take the pain anymore”.

Sources told the New York Post that the pair, who started dating in late 2016 and tied the knot in June 2022, signed an “iron-clad” prenuptial agreement that protects the multi-millionaire superstar’s assets.

Page Six also reported that Asghari “certainly will not profit from” Spears’ forthcoming memoir, The Woman in Me.

The highly anticipated book is still set to hit stores on October 24, but it is unlikely the Baby One More Time singer will be able to amend its fairytale ending with the release date coming up so soon.

Despite all the drama, sources told Page Six exclusively that Spears is “in really great spirits” and “focused” on work — including an upcoming songwriters camp for her first album since 2016.
