Sam Asghari has sparked backlash after making a controversial comment about women and their past relationships, comparing them to ‘used cars.’ The former husband of Britney Spears made the statement during an appearance on ‘The Nikki & Brie Show,’ where he openly discussed his dating preferences.

Sam Asghari’s controversial remarks

During the interview, Asghari was asked if he would ‘banish’ someone for lying about their number of past partners. Without hesitation, he responded affirmatively, adding that it’s like a ‘used car’—implying that a higher number of past relationships is undesirable.

The discussion quickly took an awkward turn when he elaborated that ‘you can’t reverse the mileage on that car.’ Co-star Chrishell Stause reacted with shock, while Wells Adams admitted he felt uncomfortable with the conversation.

Co-host Brie Garcia then pressed Asghari on what he considered an unacceptable number of partners. He hesitated before saying that ‘the lower, the better’ and insisted that the number should align with a person’s age. When asked what would be acceptable for a 31-year-old woman, Asghari dodged the question, stating that if the number was higher than his own, it would be a problem.

Public backlash and reactions

The comments quickly went viral, with many viewers calling Asghari’s remarks outdated and offensive. Social media users criticized him for perpetuating double standards and reducing women’s worth to their dating history. Others pointed out the irony of his statements, considering his highly publicized marriage and divorce from Spears.

Though Asghari refused to reveal his own number of past partners, he admitted it was ‘not high’ and estimated it to be around ten. His casual approach to the discussion only fueled the controversy, with critics arguing that his perspective reinforces misogynistic attitudes.

Asghari’s dating life after Spears

Since his divorce from Spears in 2023, Asghari has been linked to actress Brooke Irvine. His dating history continues to attract attention, but his recent comments may impact his public image.

As of now, Asghari has not issued a statement addressing the backlash. Meanwhile, his comments remain a hot topic of debate, with many questioning his perspective on relationships in modern society.
