Britney Spears allegedly got physical was estranged husband Sam Asghari and left him with a black eye, according to sources.
During seven years together, it’s claimed Sam repeatedly complained about the Toxic singer getting violent and security had to step in to stop fights between them.
Insiders told TMZ, who were first to report that the couple had split following a “nuclear argument”, that on one occassion Britney ‘flew off the handle’ and started punching Sam.
It’s claimed the stunned Iranian-American model did not retaliate when his wife ‘pumelled’ him while he was sleeping in their bed.
They report that Sam was ‘terrified’ of his wife’s behavior and there were multiple violent incidents over the course of their relationship.

In snaps from earlier this year, Sam can bee seen with brusiing and bitemarks on his arms – and a black eye on his face.
TMZ sources claim the dates coincide with the alleged attack, and that Sam tried to play the situation off at the time.
Sam has not spoken out about the claims, but did speak out on Instagram on Thursday for the first time since their separation was announced.
Writing on his Instagram Stories, he said: “After 6 years of love and commitment to each other my wife and I have decided to end our journey together. We will hold onto the love and respect we have for each other and I wish her the best always.
He continued to add: “S*** happens. Asking for privacy seems rediclulous [sic] so I will just ask for everyone including media to be kind and thoughtful.”
Britney broke her silence on Wednesday with a very bizarre Instagram post, which failed to address the ongoing saga but did mention a lot about horses.
She released a photo of herself holding the reigns of a horse while wearing a yellow bikini top, black shorts and straw hat on a beach.
In her intriguing caption, Britney wrote: “Buying a horse soon !!! So many options it’s kinda hard !!!
“A horse called Sophie and another called Roar ??? I can’t make up my mind !!!
“Should I join the camaraderie and put a pink cowboy hat on ??? Either way I think I found my sweet spot with Roar !!!”
The pop singer has already deleted all trace of her ‘estranged’ husband from Instagram as well as deleting then re-uploading the video of her pole dancing session.
An insider is claiming Sam is trying to renegotiate their prenup – and is willing to use extreme measures to get some of her $60 million fortune.
The source told Page Six that Sam is “attempting to negotiate concessions beyond his prenup and threatening to go public with extraordinarily embarrassing information about Britney unless he gets paid.”
The insider added: “So that’s what Sam is focused on.”
