Britney Spears Faces DUI Charge, Family Stays Away

0:00On March 24th, Brittany Spears, the 44-year-old pop star, bases the driving under the influence charge after an arrest earlier this month. She was pulled over on March 5th, released from jail around 6 a.m. and taken to a hospital for blood tests. Officials believe she was under the influence of drugs and alcohol combined. Her family, however, shows no signs of stepping into help. The reluctant stems from the bitter conservatorship that controlled her life from 2008 until it ended in 2021. That legal battle sparked the free Brittany movement and drew heavy criticism toward her father, Jamie Spears, for his role in it. Sources close to the family say everyone is scared of repeating that public backlash. They watch Jamie get torn apart in the media and want no part of it now.

The writers note that any involvement would likely feel like a betrayal to her.
