Britney Spears’ 55-hour Vegas ex tries to crash wedding ceremony

We have a Las Vegas angle in the Britney Spears-Sam Asghari wedding ceremony after all. The guy Spears married in infamous 55-hour Vegas marriage showed up uninvited.

Jason Alexander, technically one of Spears’ ex-husbands, attempted to crash the event at the couple’s home in L.A.

Alexander livesteamed the trespass on his Instagram page (TMZ was first media outlet to post the clip). The interloper made it into the property, at which point Ventura County sheriff’s department officers were called in to deal with a trespasser.

Spears’ attorney Mathew Rosengart, the singer’s attorney, as filed a restraining order against Alexander on behalf of Spears and Asghari. The order states Alexander “ran on property into house while armed with a knife.”

Alexander “has continually trespassed on her property,” according to documents reported by multiple media publications. Alexander has also been advised repeatedly he is not welcome on the property. The judge granted the order Thursday. It is in effect until next June 17.

Officials confirmed in news reports Alexander was arrested for “two counts of misdemeanor battery, one count of misdemeanor vandalism and one count of misdemeanor trespassing, in addition to the out of county warrant.”

Alexander reportedly slipped through security by explaining that Spears was his first (and thus far, only) wife. A commotion ensued and Alexander’s phone cut off. He was eventually restrained outside the home. He did not interrupt the ceremony itself, held in the backyard of the couple’s home in Thousand Oaks.

Alexander was with Spears over New Year’s Eve in Vegas in January 2004, when the two flippantly got married after a night of partying at the Palms. The ceremony was held at 5 a.m. Jan. 3 at A Little White Chapel in downtown Las Vegas. The marriage was annulled Jan. 5.

Alexander was also spotted livestreaming (a practice that seems to land him in trouble) as he stormed the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. He also was a public supporter of the #FreeBritney movement, during Spears’ efforts to end her conservatorship, in which she has succeeded.

Spears and Asgari have planned a family, and on May 14 posted they had “lost our miracle baby early in the pregnancy.” The two have since visited Las Vegas, as guests at Resorts World Las Vegas. The couple reportedly had planned to visit Vegas again as part of their honeymoon this weekend, but those plans are said to be off.

About 50 friends and family attended Thursday’s service. The list included such Spears inner-circle celebs as Madonna; Drew Barrymore; Selena Gomez Paris Hilton; Kathy Hilton and her husband, Carter Reum; Donatella Versace (who designed Spears’ dress); Will.i.am; Ansel Elgort and Maria Menounos. Other noteworthy invitees were veteran Vegas show producer Jeff Beacher; and Mathew Rosengart, who helped end Spears conservatorship in November.
