Arrest"},"content":{"rendered":"

Britney Spears<\/a> has voluntarily checked herself into rehab, a representative for the singer confirmed to Rolling Stone<\/a> and Variety<\/a>. Last month, the pop star was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence and booked into California\u2019s Ventura County Main Jail; she was released a few hours later and given a court date. Pitchfork has reached out to Spears\u2019 spokesperson for comment.<\/p>\n

On March 4, Spears was arrested by the California Highway Patrol at 9:30 p.m. after officers received a call about a vehicle driving erratically at a high speed. Upon locating the car, officers enforced a stop and noted that Spears, the driver, \u201cshowed signs of impairment and submitted to a series of field sobriety tests,\u201d after which she was arrested for violating California Vehicle Code section 23152(g), driving under the influence of a combination of drugs and alcohol. Spears was booked into the jail at 3 a.m. and released a few hours later. She\u2019s scheduled to appear in Ventura County Superior Court on May 4.<\/p>\n

Weeks later, on March 27, Spears addressed the arrest in the caption of one of her social media posts, which was a video of herself dancing alongside her 19-year-old son, Jayden Federline. \u201cThank you guys for all your support\u2026 spending time with family and friends is such a blessing,\u201d she wrote. \u201cStay kind !!!\u201d<\/p>\n

In 2021, Spears\u2019 13-year conservatorship was terminated<\/a>. Her father, James \u201cJamie\u201d Spears, oversaw her in the court-ordered arrangement since its implementation in 2008. The singer started working to end the conservatorship in 2014, and gained momentum nearly seven years later when she gave an incendiary testimony<\/a> in court begging for it to end, revealing she wanted to sue her family, and saying, \u201cI truly believe this conservatorship is abusive.\u201d Jamie Spears filed to end<\/a> the conservatorship that September.<\/p>\n

This past February, Spears sold the rights<\/a> to her music catalog to Primary Wave, a company that has spent the past two decades scooping up the works of Bob Marley, Whitney Houston, Prince, and many others. Spears released her most recent album, Glory, in 2016, while her latest single was the 2023 collaboration with Will.i.am titled \u201cMind Your Business<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n
