Britney Spears was “crying and very tearful” while being booked for her DUI arrest in California, Page Six has 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.”
Page Six has reached out to Spears’ rep for comment.
As previously reported, the “Toxic” songstress, 44, was detained on DUI charges in Ventura County at around 9:28 p.m. local time.
According to a 911 dispatch audio obtained by Page Six, Spears was allegedly seen driving her black BMW “in and out of lanes” and “speeding.”
She was reportedly taken to the hospital to have her blood drawn to determine her blood alcohol content.
The hitmaker was then booked around 3 a.m. and released three hours later, per the Ventura County Sheriff’s inmate record.
A court date has been set for May 4.
Spears’ manager, Cade Hudson, referred to the singer’s arrest as “an unfortunate incident that is completely inexcusable” via a statement to Page Six.
“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,” the businessman said.
“Hopefully, she can get the help and support she needs during this difficult time.”
Hudson also noted that Spears’ sons — Sean Preston and Jayden James, whom she shares with ex Kevin Federline — will be “spending time with her” and that her loved ones are “going to come up with an overdue, needed plan to set her up for success for 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. She insisted at the time, however, that the driver was not her, but a “lookalike.”
