Asghari told the magazine that she could not imagine the two of them “talking badly about each other” and said she never intended to disrespect her relationship with Spears.
“I would never do that, because I had nothing but great experiences and a great life. It will always be a part of my life and a chapter in my life,” Asghari said. said.

A representative for Spears did not immediately respond to a request for comment outside of normal business hours.
