Britney Spears has been arrested for a DUI, TMZ reports. The incident happened around 9:30 Wednesday night in Ventura County, California, when the singer was apprehended by California Highway Patrol and later booked around 3 a.m. Thursday morning. According to Ventura County Sheriff's inmate records, Spears has since been released, and she's scheduled to appear in court on May 4. Though she's come under fire for unsafe driving habits before, this appears to be her first arrest. Meanwhile, Spears' once very active Instagram account has now noticeably disappeared.
Recently Spears issued some lengthy social media statements in response to allegations made about her in her ex-husband Kevin Federline's new memoir You Thought You Knew. Federline accused Spears of erratic and dangerous behavior, including cocaine use, around their two sons. "I know his book will sell loads more than mine," Spears wrote. "If you really love someone then you don’t help them by humiliating them."
Spears published her own memoir The Woman In Me in 2023, which did not paint her ex boyfriend Justin Timberlake in the most flattering light. A few months after that book's publication came Timberlake's own infamous DWI arrest in the Hamptons in June 2024.
