A rep for Sam revealed that he had no plans to challenge the terms of their prenup in a statement to The Messenger. “There are many claims that Sam is challenging the prenup and threatening to exploit his ex-wife with videos,” he said. “However, all these claims are false, as no negative intention has ever been directed towards her and never will be. Sam has always and will always support her.”
