Britney Spears Agrees to Treatment After DUI
Ms Britney Spears is now willing to enter a treatment programme after initially resisting efforts by people close to her following a recent DUI arrest, according to multiple sources cited in US reporting.
NewsNation reported that Ms Spears’ manager, family and friends had hoped she would enter a programme after her arrest earlier this month, but she initially refused any treatment plan and said she could handle sobriety on her own.
The report said Ms Spears’ manager Mr Cade Hudson issued a statement describing the incident as “completely inexcusable” and saying she would “take the right steps and comply with the law”. A friend quoted in the piece said Ms Spears had been advised that she could risk losing her licence and potentially face jail time, and claimed she had “very big trust issues” after her conservatorship.
In its wider look at her recent years, the story noted police and emergency services have been called out on several occasions since the end of her 13-year conservatorship, adding that her next court date in the DUI case is scheduled for 4 May. The development follows earlier Britpop News reporting on her upcoming court appearance after the arrest.
A representative for Ms Spears declined to comment to NewsNation as the singer weighs her next steps and the legal process continues.
