Britney has reportedly hired leading divorce attorney Laura Wasserman to handle her side of the negotiations.
On Thursday, TMZ reported that Sam had suspected the Grammy-winning singer had cheated on him with a staffer at the Southern California home they shared, and that video footage captured on the property implicates Britney being unfaithful.
Sam suspected that Britney — described as being in “a fragile and hypersexualized state” — had also asked an associate to film her naked.
It is unclear whether the staffer she allegedly asked to film her is also the same person she allegedly cheated with.
Britney’s alleged behavior was described by a source at the outlet as risky “for her own safety”; and that her infidelity convinced Sam to move forward with his divorce filing.
