BRITNEY Spears’ manager has slammed her DUI arrest, branding it inexcusable.

In a statement to The U.S. Sun, he said: “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.”

TMZ have since reported Britney spent some time at a hospital early Thursday morning.

She spent time here because California Highway Patrol officers “transported her there to draw her blood”.

The outlet claims she did not sustain any injuries, and the hospital visit was “purely to determine her blood alcohol content”.

The singer was booked into jail at 3am, records indicate. She was later released at 6am.

On the booking documents, the star’s occupation is listed as “celebrity.”

TMZ report that Britney was “very emotional while being processed” at the Sherriff’s Office.

Sources told the outlet she was “crying a lot”.

After her arrest, Britney’s car was taken to a Thousand Oaks towing yard.

She is expected to return to court on the morning of May 4.

Her arrest comes as The California Post exclusively revealed that cops have been called to Britney’s home 14 times in the past two years.

Records obtained by The Post show 14 calls to the Ventura County Sheriff’s Department made since Jan 1, 2024.

The most recent call logged was for a “trespassing in progress”, which around midnight on October 23, 2025.

The month prior was for a a wellbeing check, which was reportedly listed as canceled.

The outlet also report several calls made to the cops in August 2025, with one listed as trespassing in progress.

Another wellbeing check was carried out in July 2025, which was the first call to cops since March of that year, which was for a “silent alarm”.

December 2024 saw cops called for an “audible alarm” and in November of that year there were two wellbeing checks logged.

In October 2024, the cops went to Britney’s home for a “suspicious subject” after a “subject disturbing” two months prior.

In recent hours, she also deleted her very active Instagram account.

This isn’t the singer’s first run-in with officials.

Just last year, cops were called about her “dangerous behavior” on a plane.

Britney reportedly caused a scene when she started drinking while flying home on a private jet with her security from Cabo San Lucas, Mexico in May 2025, TMZ reported.

Flight attendants were reportedly shocked when she pulled out a cigarette and lit it mid-flight.

Though she put out the cigarette when asked. cops still confronted her when she landed at Los Angeles International Airport.

She was reportedly issued a warning, and then allowed to go free.

Britney was placed under a conservatorship in 2008. Her now-estranged father Jamie was appointed as her conservator, and handled all her personal and financial affairs.

After years of objection and a public legal battle, the #FreeBritney movement exploded onto social media.

Thirteen years after it began, a judge officially terminated her conservatorship on November 12, 2021.

“Real Housewives of Potomac” personality Karen Huger says she has turned over a new leaf nearly two years after crashing her Maserati in a drunk-driving accident.

The reality TV star, 62, on Thursday opened up about her 2024 DUI arrest and the six-month county jail sentence that followed in a conversation with Sherri Shepherd. Huger, dubbed the Grand Dame by fans, told the “Sherri” host that she is “so happy and so at peace right now to be on the other side.”

In March 2024, Maryland police arrested Huger for driving under the influence after she crashed her car into a street divider and a tree in Potomac. In addition to the DUI, Huger was also found guilty on negligent driving charges and sentenced in February 2025 to one year in jail. After serving six months in Maryland’s Montgomery County Detention Center, she was released in September.

For her sit-down with Shepherd, Huger was styled in a formfitting burnt orange dress, metallic cuffs and a chic bob. While the daytime host complimented her look, Huger said her exterior is “not a reflection of what God has done for me.”

“I healed myself, so thank you,” she continued, “but the inside is what matters.”

Huger spoke candidly about how the 2024 accident pushed her to confront her struggles with alcohol addiction. At the time of the crash, Huger attributed her drinking to the grief of losing her mother and urged drivers to “understand your emotional state” before driving a car. She said Thursday that the drunk-driving incident was her running away from the reality of grief and addiction and her choice to not listen to God.

Huger told Shepherd that, prior to the accident, she was a “functional addict” who would drink off-screen during her time on “RHOP” — a habit she said she’s now ashamed of.

“I was dead wrong,” she said Thursday of her accident. “I’m so grateful no one was killed, no other person was hurt. I’m so grateful to be alive. I could’ve died.”

The reality TV star said six months in county jail — without cameras and her creature comforts — proved to be a period of self-improvement and empowerment. Huger said she began treatment to address her alcohol addiction and carried that on in prison. She said she led Narcotics Anonymous and Alcoholics Anonymous meetings while behind bars.

“I have a responsibility to tell my truth and share it with the world if they’re willing to listen,” she told Shepherd.

Huger previously spoke about the scandal with Andy Cohen, telling the Bravo host earlier this month that she had been in denial about her grief and addiction. She also told Cohen that she was taking her sobriety one day at a time, a sentiment she echoed on “Sherri.” Her two adult children are also major motivators to stay sober, she said.

The “RHOP” star, eager to put her DUI behind her, recalled seeing her two adult children “through a glass window” in jail and recognizing “the pain that put them through.”

“I didn’t think about how they would feel,” she said, underscoring she intends for that to be a onetime experience.

Huger said Thursday that it remains to be seen whether she will return to “RHOP” for future seasons. Huger was absent from the season amid her sentence but appeared in the Season 10 finale. The “RHOP” cast, including Huger, reunited for the series’ three-part reunion, which begins airing on Sunday.

In the fallout of the scandal, Huger told Shepherd she feels like the same “Karen Huger, just clean.” She also isn’t resisting fans’ “Grand Dame” nickname, despite her scandal.

“If they want me to be their Grand Dame, no one else could do it anyway.”
