Sean Phillip, a friend and former assistant to Britney Spears, has shared insights into the pop star's well-being following her recent arrest for suspected driving under the influence. Phillip stated on the March 6, 2026, episode of Good Morning Britain that Spears is "OK" and had given him permission to speak about the incident.
Phillip, who claims to speak with Spears almost every other day, described her as a strong and lovely person, asserting that the recent event was out of character for her. Spears, aged 44, was taken into custody on March 4, 2026, in Ventura County, California, after being arrested on suspicion of DUI.
Her representative issued a statement acknowledging the incident as "unfortunate" and "inexcusable," expressing hope for "overdue change" and support for Spears. Phillip echoed the sentiment for change, specifically suggesting Spears relocate from Los Angeles. This arrest follows the November 2021 conclusion of her conservatorship.
