Britney Spears reportedly had a productive conversation with her mom and sons following her DUI arrest.
Spears’ mother, Lynne Spears, called the singer as soon as she became aware of her arrest, TMZ reported Thursday. Lynne reportedly had a “positive” and “hopeful” conversation with her daughter after offering her support.
Britney also talked to her sons — Sean Preston, 20, and Jayden James, 19 — after being released from jail Thursday, the outlet reported, but she hasn’t seen any family members in person.
Page Six has reached out to Spears’ rep for comment.
Spears’ relationship with her sons, whom she shares with ex-husband Kevin Federline, has been rocky over the years. She was reportedly hurt over Sean choosing not to spend the holidays with her and Jayden last year because he “wasn’t ready to meet her halfway.”
Last month, she blasted her family in a scathing Instagram post.
“For those of you in your family that have (sic) said to help you is to isolate you and make you feel unbelievably left out … they were wrong. We can forgive as people but u don’t ever forget,” she wrote.
“I’m incredibly lucky to even be alive with how my family treated me once in my life and now I’m scared of them,” she added.
Spears was arrested in Ventura County, Calif., for driving under the influence Wednesday night at around 9:28 p.m. local time, Page Six confirmed.
She was released at 6:07 a.m. Thursday, according to the Ventura County Sheriff’s inmate record.
Spears, 44, was believed to be under the influence of a cocktail of drugs and alcohol during her arrest.
We’re told she was pulled over after allegedly driving her black BMW “erratically at a high rate of speed” while near the Borchard Road off-ramp in Newbury Park.
Additionally, an insider close to the pop icon told Page Six that officers found an unknown substance inside her car at the time of her arrest.
Her chemical test results are still pending, and the investigation is still ongoing.
The Grammy-winning singer was “crying and very tearful” while being booked for her DUI arrest, Page Six also learned.
“She was incredibly emotional,” a source exclusively told us. “It’s been a very hard couple of months.”
According to our source, Spears “felt ashamed and embarrassed” and is “very sorry” for what happened.
“She doesn’t want to let anyone down, including her fans,” the insider added. “The last thing she wants is to be judged publicly all over again.”
Spears’ manager, Cade Hudson, gave a blunt statement after her arrest, calling it 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 said in a statement obtained by Page Six. “Hopefully, she can get the help and support she needs during this difficult time.”
