Britney Spears was “crying and very tearful” during her DUI arrest in California, Page Six reported.
“She was incredibly emotional,” a source exclusively told us. “The last few months have been very difficult.”
Our source says Spears is “embarrassed and embarrassed” by what happened and is “very sorry.”
“She doesn’t want to disappoint anyone, including her fans,” the source added. “The last thing she wants is to be judged in public again.”
Page Six has reached out to Spears’ representatives for comment.
As previously reported, the “Toxic” songstress, 44, was taken into custody on a DUI charge in Ventura County around 9:28 p.m. local time.
According to audio of the 911 call obtained by Page Six, Spears was seen “weaving in and out of lanes” and “speeding” in a black BMW.
She was reportedly taken to the hospital to have blood drawn to determine her blood alcohol level.
According to Ventura County Sheriff’s inmate records, the hitmaker was arrested around 3 a.m. and released three hours later.
A trial date is set for May 4.
In a statement to Page Six, Spears’ manager Cade Hudson called Spears’ arrest a “totally unacceptable and unfortunate event.”
“Britney intends to take the right steps and abide by the law. I hope this is the first step in the long-awaited changes that should occur in Britney’s life,” the businessman said.
“I hope she gets the help and support she needs during this difficult time.”
Hudson also said that Spears’ sons Sean Preston and Jayden James (who she shares with ex Kevin Federline) will be “spending time with her,” and that her loved ones “will come up with the necessary plans that are due to set her up for success in her well-being.”
Spears’ arrest comes after months of erratic behavior.
Back in October, the “Gimme More” singer was spotted driving erratically on her way home from a restaurant. However, she claimed at the time that the driver was not her but a “look-alike”.
