Britney Spears Has a Dangerous Stalker. | Transcript:

You remember that time Britney Spears' ex-husband went crazy and broke into her house with a knife? So, the story starts with this guy, Jason Alexander. And Jason is 22, living in a small town in Louisiana, and this guy just happened to grow up in the same hometown as Britney Spears, before she was famous. They actually went to kindergarten together. But, one day in 2003, Britney invites some of her old hometown childhood friends to come to Las Vegas to celebrate New Year's with her. And one of those old hometown childhood friends is Jason. And keep in mind, Britney is basically like the most famous woman on the planet during this time. And so, Britney flies Jason and others out to Vegas on her private jet, and they all

party in the clubs, and they have a whole lot of drinks, and they have a really good time, and eventually it's 3:00 a.m., and they're still going. And for whatever reason, they're like, "Let's go do something crazy. Let's get married." I guess they think this will be just hilarious. So, they head to the little wedding chapel, and they actually do it. They do the quick ceremony, they get married in the middle of the night on a whim, just for the hell of it. Here's a picture of them as newlyweds. So, the next morning, Britney calls her parents and tells them the funny thing she just did, and of course, they're pissed off. And pretty quickly, they send lawyers to Britney's hotel room.

So, these lawyers pull Britney aside, and they explain how terrible this is for her. I mean, she's a multimillionaire, and she just made this random guy entitled to half her income. And Britney's like, "I don't know, I was just drunk and bored." But, by the end of the conversation, she agrees that it's, you know, best to get out of this joke of a marriage. Then, the lawyers sit down with Jason, and they push a bunch of paperwork in front of him, and they say that they want him to sign an annulment, which will invalidate the marriage like it never happened. And they tell him it'll be better to date each other for 6 months, you know, see how he feels, and then maybe have a real

wedding. And Jason reluctantly agrees because he doesn't understand that they just talked him out of a huge payday. Then Britney and Jason both sign the paperwork and the marriage is officially annulled. It lasted a total of 55 hours. After that, Britney's team gets Jason the hell away from her and they send his ass back to Louisiana flying coach. However, when the news and the tabloids find out about all this, it's like a bomb went off. Their 55-hour marriage is the biggest story on the news. And so now Jason is back in small-town Louisiana suddenly seeing his face on the cover of magazines. And he's being talked about all over the country and he starts doing interviews and talking about the whole situation and about

Britney. But, over time, the news cycle dies out and the public moves on and Jason is no longer getting the attention that he was before. And this seems kind of hard on him, like psychologically. Like he was suddenly kind of famous and then suddenly not. And the guy just doesn't seem to want to let the spotlight go. So, while Britney quickly moves on and keeps living her life as a super famous pop star, Jason doesn't, like ever. He wants to keep cashing in on this. So, like when Britney calls to see how he's doing, he will record the conversation and then he'll sell it to the media. He also gets a half a million-dollar book deal to talk about

his 55-hour marriage to Britney. And like her team ends up having to sue the publishing company to stop the release of this book. Anyway, eventually Britney seems to have figured out what's going on and she completely stops talking to him. But, [snorts] over the years, Jason just can't let it go. And he seems to slowly go off the rails. Like in interviews, he changes his story from "We were just friends who got married for the hell of it." to "We were in love. We made a lifelong commitment." And he starts telling people the marriage was real and that they might get back together someday. And here's where the story gets kind of dark for him. Over the next 18 years, Jason's life spirals out of control. In

2008, he's arrested for a DUI. In 2015, he's arrested for domestic abuse for assaulting a woman. In 2021, he's arrested for another DUI and drug charges. And in 2022, he's arrested for stalking a woman. And throughout all of this, he never stops talking about Britney. And so now, it's 2022. And at this point, he hasn't seen Britney since the Las Vegas incident nearly two decades before. But still, he thinks maybe there's a chance. Like in interviews, he tells people that Britney has been calling him and flirting with him. Now, obviously, Britney has long moved on. In fact, she's been in a relationship with a different guy, and she's about to get married to him and have her wedding. And Jason hears about

this and he gets super mad. He's like, "This is bullshit." And he doesn't believe that she's actually getting married. But, if she is, he's going to go and shoot his shot one more time. So, he flies out to California and he heads to her house in Thousand Oaks. And he gets there and he walks around the hillside just above her property studying the place looking for a way inside. And he spends the next 3 weeks coming back to her property to scope it out over and over again. Then, Britney's big day comes, the day of her wedding, which is taking place in a tent next to her house. And Britney, she's upstairs in her bedroom like getting ready and stuff. Meanwhile, Jason, he decides he

needs to see her before she gets married, even if he has to break into her house to do it. So, he goes to the hillside above her place, and he brings a knife with him. And while he's there, he goes live on Instagram. And somehow, hundreds of Britney Spears fans who follow him are watching like, "Uh, is this guy stalking her?" Now, pretty quickly, Britney's security spots him, and he starts asking, "Where's Britney at?" "Where's Britney at?" Get off property now. Where's Britney at? Get off property now. Then, he starts running from security, straight down the hill towards Britney's house. And when he gets to the house, he finds a door, and he walks inside, and

he runs up the stairs heading straight for the bedrooms where Britney is getting ready for the wedding. And he like checks all the bedrooms looking for her. Hey, where's Britney at? Please leave. Hey, tell me the truth. Where's Britney at? Please leave. Britney name. And allegedly, he makes it right up to the door of the bedroom where Britney is inside getting ready. But then, just in time, a security guard pulls his gun on him, and he says, "Get out." So, Jason runs outside. But, he's still not leaving yet. He suddenly starts acting chill, and he goes around introducing himself to people at the wedding.

I'm Jason Alexander. First husband. Oh, okay. I'm here to crash the wedding, bro. Then, he walks inside the tent where the event is about to take place, and he announces that this wedding is nonsense. So, here's the inside scoop, guys, at the wedding, Jason Alexander. No, my name's Jason Alexander. Britney Spears invited me here. She's my first wife, my only wife. I'm her first husband. I'm here to crash the wedding. But then, finally, pow, security knocks him down and they tackle him to the ground and they pin him there. And anyway, eventually, police show up and bam, he gets arrested. And I don't have a mugshot for this one, but here's a picture of him at the January 6th insurrection. And ultimately, later, Britney ends up getting a restraining

order against him, while he ends up getting sentenced to 128 days in jail. But, once he gets out, he goes right back to doing more interviews about Britney. You haven't seen the end of me, obviously, and I'm always going to be the first husband, and whatever Britney does, they're going to be interested in me.
