Britney Spears voluntarily checked into a treatment facility, a representative for Spears confirmed. In March, she was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence<\/a> of a combination of alcohol and drugs in Ventura County.<\/p>\n

It was not immediately clear when Spears, 44, checked into rehab. Her last post on Instagram was around 7 p.m. Saturday.<\/p>\n

Spears was released from a controversial, nearly 14-year conservatorship<\/a> in 2021, after she testified that the arrangement was abusive<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In the years since, fans have remained concerned<\/a> for the singer\u2019s well-being. In 2023, police performed a wellness check after she danced on camera with two large knives<\/a>, which she said were fake. The following year, paramedics were called to her hotel room<\/a> for a twisted ankle after a fight with her boyfriend at the time.<\/p>\n

In March, the California Highway Patrol stopped Spears at night after she was reportedly driving \u201cerratically at a high rate of speed.\u201d The agency said Spears \u201cshowed signs of impairment.\u201d Officers also found a substance in her car, according to a law enforcement source.<\/p>\n

She was booked the following morning at 3 and was released just after 6 a.m.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis was an unfortunate incident that is completely inexcusable,\u201d a Spears representative told The Times following the arrest.<\/p>\n

Spears is scheduled to appear in court for her DUI arrest on May 4.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Britney Spears voluntarily checked into a treatment facility, a representative for Spears confirmed.
