Britney Spears’ estranged husband Sam Asghari has warned Donald Trump Jr. about potential consequences in mocking the pop star.
The 29-year-old actor took to Instagram on Wednesday with a message for the son of the embattled ex-president, who has shared two memes in recent days mocking the Grammy-winning singer, 41, for her recent Instagram post in which she handled knives.
The Tehran, Iran-born actor-model said in a clip, according to Just Jared, ‘Hey, little Trump. You won’t stop bullying so I’m here to tell you that being a bully doesn’t make you cool nor [does] it makes you friends – and it certainly doesn’t require intelligence to be one.’
Asghari, who has been seen on shows such as PBC, Black Monday and Hacks, said he was refraining from pointing out the foibles of Trump Jr., 45, because it’s not in his makeup to go after people.
‘I can be a bully, too – I can say, “The best is yet to come,”‘ Asghari – who filed for divorce from the Toxic singer in August – told Trump Jr. ‘But I won’t do that. I won’t do that. Because it’s just mean being a bully, and like I said it doesn’t make you cool.’

He concluded in advising Trump Jr., ‘So, don’t be a bully Jr. – don’t be one.’
Trump Jr. had posted memes of Spears handling the knives in shots juxtaposed to decades-old pictures of the singer from the 1990s and early 2000s.
In a meme intended to mock the media’s coverage of police shootings, the half of the retro Spears shot read, ‘The photo they use in the newspaper’ as opposed to ‘What your body camera saw,’ using a screenshot of her clip with the knives.
Last week he posted a similar meme comparing the eras of Spears to the country’s direction under President Joe Biden to that of ex-President Donald Trump.
Spears last week sported a bandage on her arm and possible cuts on her person in an Instagram clip which came a day after she was seen in a clip dancing with two butcher knives in hand September 25.
The Grammy-winning singer, 41, was seen in the same outfit she had on in Monday’s clip – a deep-cut orange top with white polka dots and low-rise white swimsuit bottoms – in a series of clips in which she showed off her formidable dancing skills.
In the first clip, recorded in the foyer of Spears’ Southern California home, she was seen dancing in a dizzying piece of improvised choreography to a beat for her 42.1 million Instagram followers.
In the second clip, the Oops!… I Did It Again vocalist danced to the 1990 Enigma track Sadeness (Part I), wearing a white bandage on her wrist while there appeared to be a gash on the upper front of her right leg.
‘My “Pretty Woman” top … kinda cool after my briefing on polka dots!!!!’ the Toxic artist, who recently danced in a pink bikini, captioned the post.

It was not immediately clear how much time elapsed between the recording of the first and second clips.
In Monday’s post in which Spears danced with sharp objects in hand, she assured fans in the caption: ‘I started playing in the kitchen with knives today!!! Don’t worry they are NOT real knives!!!’
The Womanizer songstress was back on the social media site with an new dancing clip Tuesday evening in which she wore a low-cut white blouse with long sleeves, in which her arms could not be seen.
In the caption, Spears intimated that the lighting in her living room were giving her ‘a horrible migraine,’ and that she typically likes to ‘control the lights’ where she’s at.
Spears also alluded to not feeling up to par as of late.
‘I realize I’ve lost a lot of weight and my eyes aren’t as wide open!!!’ she wrote. ‘I feel weaker when I lose weight.’
Spears alluded to the knife dancing clip she posted earlier, as she said, ‘I have incredible gifted friends beside me every freakin’ day but I‘d be lying if I didn’t say to any bitch disrespecting me at any parties … I don’t forget!!!!
‘Why???? Cause I know my worth and learning to dance with fake knives at parties is a motherf***ing understatement !!!’

Trump Jr. was seen speaking at the Save America Rally on January 6, 2021 in Washington, D.C.
In the aforementioned clips on September 25 and 26, Spears wore a dark choker around her neck and uploaded two variations of videos.
In one, her long blonde locks were pulled into a loose, half-up/half-down look with bangs framing her face.
The second snippet showed the Womanizer hitmaker with her hair completely free as it fell around her in loose waves.
Spears reportedly has ‘had a fascination with knives,’ TMZ reported in May, adding that the singer slept ‘with one under her bed’ amid terror of being ‘re-institutionalized.’
A year and a half after the end of her 13-year conservatorship, in which Spears previously described as ‘abusive’ in explosive courtroom testimony, a source alleged that the pop star remains in ‘mortal fear’ that ‘someone will come in the middle of the night, strap her to a gurney and take her to a psych ward.’
After regaining control of her own personal and financial affairs in 2021, the site claims those caring for the mother-of-two ‘prepared a list of recommendations’ for Spears, which included keeping her away from weapons and ‘not driving alone.’
The singer, who revealed in 2021 that she had been diagnosed with bipolar disorder, is said to have a ‘constant fear of being re-institutionalized.’
In 2022, Britney’s younger sister, Jamie Lynn Spears, claimed in her tell-all book that her sibling once locked them in a room together while holding a knife.

A marking on the top front of her leg was visible in the second clip the singer uploaded

In a passage from her memoir, Things I Should Have Said, the Zoey 101 alum, 32, recalled Britney telling her she was ‘scared’ before taking ‘large knife from the kitchen’ and pulling her into her room and locking them ‘both inside.’
‘She put the knife in the bedside table drawer and simply repeated, ‘I’m scared’’ Jamie Lynn recalled. ‘I knew something was wrong and I was powerless to do something about it.’
While discussing the claim on an episode of Alex Cooper’s podcast, Call Her Daddy, in 2022, the former child star clarified that she ‘never felt like [Britney] was going to harm’ her or ‘anything.’
‘It just felt weird. And I didn’t understand it,’ she said of the incident that reportedly occurred in 2004, shortly after Britney’s wedding to Jason Alexander, which was annulled within 55 hours.
At the time, Jamie Lynn would have been just 13, and Britney 22.
Britney vehemently denied the alleged incident between them on Twitter.
‘I’ve never been around you ever with a knife or would I ever even think to do such!!!’ Britney tweeted in 2022. ‘The only knife I ever saw you with at home was cutting the biggest pieces of squash I ever saw in my life and it was way too big for me to cut.’
Britney then expressed feeling hurt by the claims and said she was ‘actually very confused’ why Jamie Lynn was ‘making that up because it’s honestly not like’ her to lie.
