Rather understandably, Britney Spears has been left ‘shaken’ after chaotic scenes at her wedding to Sam Asghari, which saw her ex-husband of 55 hours Jason Alexander arrested.
Jason, who famously married the pop star – a childhood friend – in Las Vegas in 2004 before it was annulled just 55 hours later, crashed Britney’s nuptials, held at her Los Angeles home.
According to reports, he live-streamed the incident on his Instagram, as he managed to gain access to Britney’s mansion, as well as the wedding venue itself inside before he was arrested.
Sources have since claimed Britney, 40, and her guests, of which there were just 100 including Donatella Versace and Paris Hilton, were left taken aback by the incident, with the bride ‘shaken up’.
According to the insider: ‘Everyone was shocked.
‘It threw the wedding schedule way behind because everyone had to stop to talk to security and police about what happened.’

They added to E! News it was an ’emotional day for Britney’.
Another source went on to tell People of the singer’s reaction: ‘She’s freaking out over this.’
Britney’s assistant, Vicky T, assured fans the singer was ‘safe’ after the arrest, writing on Instagram: ‘I’ve done everything I can while being out of the country to keep everyone safe. Thank you to all the absolutely amazing and incredible fans for alerting me of so much. You are blessings. Thank you. Everyone is safe.’
Britney and Sam, 28, who have been dating since 2016 after meeting on the set of Britney’s music video, have finally become husband and wife.

The singer is said to have worn a gown designed by Versace, walking down the aisle to exchange her vows to the tune of Elvis Presley’s Can’t Help Falling In Love.
However, the day didn’t go by without a hiccup, as Britney’s first ex-husband Jason attempted to crash the nuptials.
Ventura County Sheriff’s Department had confirmed that 40-year-old Jason has been charged with two counts of misdemeanour battery, one count of misdemeanour vandalism and one count of misdemeanour trespassing as a result of the incident.

Officers arrested him after responding to an incident of alleged trespassing, with Sergeant Cyrus Zadesh saying that an altercation between Jason and officers took place.
‘He was able to find his way onto the property and was confronted by security,’ the sergeant told PA News Agency.
‘An altercation occurred with the security officers and that’s where the battery occurred… and during the altercation an item was broken so that’s where the vandalism comes into play. And by being on private property, the trespass comes into play.’
He was originally charged with an out-of-county warrant, but is now due to face additional charges, with those involved in the incident seeking to prosecute.
Afterwards, he was transported to a police station and it’s believed that he will be transferred to Ventura County jail.

He continued to People: ‘He is so caring and supportive every step of the way.
‘I am so grateful to have Sam in my life and can’t wait for the future they will build together.’
