The representatives of Britney Spears have broken their silence on the pop star's arrest. They slammed it as “completely inexcusable” after she was busted by California's Highway Patrol on Wednesday night.

In a statement to the press, Britney’s manager Cade Hudson broke his silence. 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." He continued: "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.”

According to reports, the Toxic hitmaker was arrested for a DUI by the California Highway Patrol at 9.30pm on Wednesday (March 4).

Her car was taken to Roy Towing in Thousand Oaks and she has since been released, with a court date set for May 4.

The arrest follows concerns from fans after the 44-year-old celebrity deactivated her Instagram account.

Before disabling it, Britney worried fans when she shared a series of high-energy videos of her dancing around her house.

In one video, she showed off her impressive abs and flashed her bra to the camera as she performed to Billie Eilish.

Fans flocked to X - formerly known as Twitter - to share their fears for the musician online. One user asked: "Did Britney deactivate her Instagram account?" moments before the news of her arrest made the headlines.

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.

Fans created the #FreeBritney campaign and pushed for a public legal battle.

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