How did Britney Spears and Jason Alexander end up married in Las Vegas at 3:30 a.m.?
Do 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 Brittany 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 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 six 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, Brittany 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 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.
