Britney Spears’ ex-husband Jason Alexander crashes wedding, arrested

Jason Alexander, Britney Spears’ ex-husband, was on June 9 arrested in Thousand Oaks in Southern California for attempting to intrude on her wedding ceremony. Alexander was taken into custody after the Ventura County police investigated a trespassing call which was made after 2 pm, and discovered that he had a warrant against him in another county.

Alexander had also live streamed on Instagram throughout, publicly displaying how he crashed the wedding, including an interaction with a security guard where he claimed that he had been invited.

Calling the union a “bullshit wedding”, Alexander declared that she was his only spouse. “She’s my first wife, my only wife. I’m her first husband.” Spears and Alexander’s marriage had taken place in 2004, and lasted a mere 55 hours before it was annulled.

He is reported to have also proclaimed that he was there “to crash the wedding”. Walking through what appears to be a decorated house, he looks for Britney. The security guard desisted even when he said he had an invite, leading to Alexander making threats about ruining Spears’ big day. He was later detained by security inside her home while he was still streaming.  

Britney Spears’ attorney Mathew Rosengart also commented on the situation, saying that Alexander had been arrested for his “disgusting criminal misconduct”. He also thanked the Ventura County Sheriff’s department and stated that he was “working closely with law enforcement to ensure he was prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law”.

The couple got engaged just two months before Spears’ was freed from her conservatorship, which would have required her family’s approval with regards to the wedding and other major life decisions. The conservatorship also gave her family control over her finances and estate.
