Britney Spears has checked into rehab following her DUI arrest. The 44-year-old singer was arrested in early March.
She was booked into custody by the Ventura County Sheriff’s Department on suspicion of drunk driving.
She was released soon after. Additionally, a representative for Spears at the time described the incident as “completely inexcusable” and said Spears would “take the right steps and comply with the law,” according to the entertainment outlet Deadline.
On Sunday, multiple US news outlets reported that Spears had voluntarily checked herself into a treatment facility.
It was not immediately clear when Spears entered the facility. She is scheduled to appear in court for her DUI arrest on May 4, according to the Los Angeles Times.

Spears had phenomenal early music success in the late 1990s with hits like …Baby One More Time. However, she has largely stepped back from music in recent years.
In her 2023 memoir The Woman in Me, Spears insisted she never did hard drugs and that she did not have a drinking problem. However, she admitted that she was taking Adderall, the ADHD medication.
Following a public breakdown in 2007, Spears was placed under the conservatorship of her father, Jamie Spears. He controlled her finances and personal life, even as she continued to perform in high-profile concerts.
The conservatorship was dissolved by a Los Angeles court in 2021, after a groundswell of public support to “Free Britney.”
