Singer Britney Spears was arrested in Ventura County, California, on Wednesday night for driving under the influence of alcohol.
The singer was stopped and handcuffed by the California Highway Patrol, as first reported by TMZ and confirmed by Variety.
After her release, Spears deleted her Instagram profile. Her most recent post was captioned: “Song representing fragility, be careful, my friends, when dealing with the queen of hearts.”
On Thursday, Spears’ manager Cade Hadson told TMZ: “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 arrest follows a legal victory earlier this week, when Spears was granted a restraining order against a 51-year-old Louisiana man who had been harassing her since 2013. According to Spears’ court filing, the man showed up at her Los Angeles home after making several “disturbing social media posts”.
