Britney Spears was arrested in Ventura County, Calif., on Wednesday, March 4, for a DUI, a source revealed to a news outlet.

Britney Spears' Instagram Page Is Gone
Britney Spears was released on March 4.
The starlet's Instagram page has also vanished following the report that she was arrested.
This is hardly the first time Spears has been in trouble.
In October 2025, the "Toxic" singer gave a weird excuse as to why she was driving erratically.
“If anyone is wondering the lookalike was not me…🤷♀️🤷♀️🤷♀️🤓,” she wrote at the time.
As OK! previously reported, Spears was seen swerving into other lanes after leaving the Red-O restaurant in Thousand Oaks, Calif.
Is Britney Spears 'Spiraling'?
Britney Spears was allegedly 'spiraling' in 2025.
According to a video, the Grammy winner appeared to be "spiraling" as she got into her black BMW.
Though several people tried to stop her from getting in the car, things took a turn for the worse, as an eyewitness claimed Spears “nearly ran over her friend while pulling out” of the parking lot.
“She would key it in and drive up to the gate, but the gate would not open,” the insider shared. “She did this three or four times. The friend never left her car. After 20 minutes, the friend [left]. Brit then spent another 10 minutes trying to get in and finally succeeded.”

Kevin Federline's memoir 'reopened old wounds' for the singer, a source said.
The 2025 car incident happened shortly after Kevin Federline released his new memoir.
The tell-all “reopened old wounds” and has been “putting Britney in a tailspin," the insider said.
“She’s acting out. She gets into these spirals and it just goes downhill fast,” they added, noting the singer has been having a “rough” time dealing with everything resurfacing.
Kevin Federline Is 'Worried' About His Ex
Kevin Federline said he was 'worried' about the pop star.
Federline, who shares two kids with Spears, also sounded the alarm last year about his ex.
“I’m really worried,” the former backup dancer told Entertainment Tonight.
“I’m absolutely — as a father — terrified that one day I might wake up and my sons are going to have to deal with the unimaginable,” he added, referring to his and the singer’s two kids: Sean Preston and Jayden James.
“I’m not going to get into details, because I’m not going to just expose her personal life. But it’s 10x worse than anything I’ve said in my book,” he alleged.
