What Octavia said
This is not the first time that Octavia has come in support of the singer. Two years ago, when Britney announced that Sam Asghari had proposed after almost five years of dating, on her Instagram post, Octavia had commented, saying, "make him sign a prenup." Now, in an Instagram post made by Page Six where it was reported that Sam is threatening to reveal 'extraordinarily embarrassing' details about Britney if the prenup is not negotiated, it was Octavia who left a comment, saying, "extortion is illegal.”

Later, the Hidden Figures actor had made a clarification about her prenup comment after it went viral. The actor had said, “Y’all, a few days ago Sam and Britney announced their engagement and me being me I made a joke. My intention was to make them laugh not cause pain. 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.” But now, after two years, many social media users are looking back at Octavia's comment and reflecting how she was the only one who saw this coming.
