Britney Spears’ manager, Cade Hudson, is speaking out after the singer was arrested for driving under the influence in California Wednesday night.
“This was an unfortunate incident that is completely inexcusable,” he said in a statement obtained by 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. Hopefully, she can get the help and support she needs during this difficult time.”
Hudson also told Page Six that Spears’ sons, Sean Preston and Jayden James, “are going to be spending time with her.”
He noted that the singer’s loved ones are “going to come up with an overdue, needed plan to set her up for success for well-being.”
As Page Six previously reported, Spears was arrested Wednesday night for DUI.
The pop star was detained by California Highway Patrol in Ventura County, Calif., at around 9:28 p.m. local time, was booked at 3:02 a.m. and ultimately released three hours later.
A 911 dispatch call obtained by Page Six revealed Spears had been swerving and speeding before being arrested.
“Black BMW sedan in and out of lanes… speeding,” a California Highway Patrol officer could be heard saying. “2026 convertible out of LA.”
TMZ later reported that Spears, 44, was taken to the hospital by cops immediately after her arrest so that blood could be drawn to determine her blood alcohol content.
Sources told the outlet that Spears was alone when the cops pulled her over in Westlake Village, which is not far from her Thousand Oaks home. She reportedly did not sustain any injuries.
While police have not released the results of her BAC testing, Britney allegedly told people it was .06 percent. And although the legal limit in California is .08, a person can still be charged with DUI if erratic driving is observed.
Spears’ arrest comes months after she was seen driving erratically following a night out with a friend.
In October 2025, a video showed the “Toxic” songstress leaving the restaurant Red-O and getting behind the wheel of her black BMW after several people allegedly attempted to stop her.
She was then seen swerving between lanes, tailgating a car and even driving into a bike lane.
Shortly after the video surfaced, the Princess of Pop took to social media to claim that it was not her driving the car, but a “lookalike.” The manager at the restaurant also defended Spears at the time, claiming the singer did not drink before getting behind the wheel.
