Octavia Spencer apologizes to Britney Spears, Sam Asghari after suggesting the pair sign a prenup

'Jokes and misconceptions come with the territory,' Asghari responded to the actress' apology

Octavia Spencer is backtracking on a snarky comment she left on Britney Spears’ Instagram post just minutes after the pop star happily announced her engagement to Sam Asghari.

"Y’all, a few days ago Sam and Britney announced their engagement and me being me I made a joke," the actress said on Instagram on Wednesday, referencing her remark that Spears should make Asghari "sign a prenup."

"My intention was to make them laugh not cause pain," she added. "I’ve reached out to this lovely couple privately to apologize and now want to restore just a smidge of happiness they were robbed of."

Spencer, 51, then — highlighting Spears’ 13-year conservatorship — concluded, "Britney’s fans have seen her through a lot of pain and she’s found happiness. We’re thrilled for her. So let’s show them love. #nonegativity."
