Britney Spears has checked into a treatment facility following her DUI arrest early last month, according to multiple press reports.
The Grammy-winning pop star voluntarily admitted herself to rehab after she was arrested in Ventura County, Calif. March 4 on suspicion of driving while intoxicated.
A statement to the press released by a rep for the singer and obtained by Deadline noted at the time, “This was an unfortunate incident that is completely inexcusable. Britney is going to take the right steps and comply with the law and hopefully this can be the first step in long overdue change that needs to occur in Britney’s life. Hopefully, she can get the help and support she needs during this difficult time. Her boys are going to be spending time with her. Her loved ones are going to come up with an overdue needed plan to set her up for success for well being.”
Spears is scheduled to report to Ventura County Superior Court May 4.
In February, the singer sold the rights of the entirety of her music catalog to Primary Wave, which includes iconic hits “… Baby One More Time,” “Oops! … I Did It Again” and “I’m a Slave 4 U.” Through the deal, which also consolidates tracks like “Circus,” “If U Seek Amy,” “Break the Ice,” “Gimme More,” “I Wanna Go,” “My Prerogative,” “Piece of Me,” “Toxic” and “Womanizer,” the musician joined a host of other artists who have sold their oeuvres in recent years like Shakira, Bruce Springsteen, Bob Dylan and more.
Though Spears has said she will “never perform in the U.S. again,” her bestselling 2023 memoir The Woman in Me is being adapted by Universal, with Jon M. Chu attached to helm the biopic. Last year, the Wicked: For Good director said Spears would be “very involved” in the project.
