Sam Asghari, recently divorced from pop icon Britney Spears, is stepping into a new spotlight as a contestant on Peacock’s hit reality show “The Traitors.” But there’s one surprising twist: Asghari is reportedly contractually obligated to not discuss his ex-wife on the show, at all.

Britney Spears Off-Limits for Asghari

According to TMZ, sources close to the production revealed a unique clause in Asghari’s contract. He is strictly prohibited from mentioning Britney Spears, whether positive or negative. This aligns with Spears’ apparent desire for complete privacy, as a source stated, “Britney doesn’t want a peep out of Sam about her, period.”

This restriction might seem harsh, but it seems to reflect a mutual respect between the former couple. Asghari never publicly criticized Spears during their highly publicized divorce, finalized in May 2024. In fact, he has consistently spoken positively about her, even expressing support for her memoir, “The Woman in Me,” last year.

Life After Britney: Asghari Forges His Own Path

With Britney Spears out of the picture for “The Traitors,” the focus will be entirely on Sam Asghari and his own personality. Recent social media activity suggests he’s ready to move on and establish himself independently. Asghari recently shared a shirtless photo on Instagram while hiking, hinting at his desire to build his own brand separate from his former relationship.

A Star-Studded Season of Deception

The upcoming season of “The Traitors” promises to be its most dramatic yet. The show features a diverse cast of reality TV veterans from various franchises. Joining Asghari are stars like:

• Drag Queen Royalty: Bob the Drag Queen, known for being Madonna’s backup dancer
• Bachelor Nation: Gabby Windey and Wells Adams from “The Bachelorette”
• Fitness Icon: Bob Harper from “The Biggest Loser”
• Big Brother Alums: Britney Haynes and Danielle Reyes
• Survivor Strategists: Carolyn Wiger, Jeremy Collins, Rob Mariano, and Tony Vlachos
• Summer House Drama: Ciara Miller
• Global Housewives: Chanel Ayan (“Real Housewives of Dubai”), Dolores Catania (“Real Housewives of New Jersey”), Dorinda Medley (“Real Housewives of New York City”), and Robyn Dixon (“Real Housewives of Potomac”)
• Reality TV Siblings: Dylan Efron (Zac Efron’s brother and co-star of “Down to Earth”)
• British Aristocracy: Lord Ivar Mountbatten

The competition will unfold in a classic Scottish castle, where contestants will have to root out hidden traitors amongst them. The stakes are high! The remaining “Faithful” players who successfully eliminate all traitors will win a staggering $250,000 prize. However, if the cunning traitors manage to stay undetected, they’ll walk away with the entire pot of cash.
