Britney Spears Enters Rehab After DUI Arrest

Pop superstar Britney Spears has voluntarily entered a rehabilitation facility, marking a significant step following her recent legal troubles. This decision came after her arrest on March 4 on suspicion of driving under the influence of drugs and alcohol in Ventura, California. She was released the following day.

Her ex-husband, Kevin Federline, has broken his silence on the matter, with his attorney stating Federline is "happy that she is getting help" and hopes she completes her recommended treatment plan. Federline's representative had previously expressed concern following the arrest, hoping for Spears' well-being and cooperation.

Sources close to Spears indicate she was "very upset and shaken" by the arrest and "terrified of going to jail." It reportedly took weeks for her to accept that rehab was the best option, with her team strongly encouraging treatment since the incident.

Ultimately, Spears' sons, Sean Preston and Jayden James, were a major influence in her decision to seek help. They have expressed their desire for her to be healthy, which has been a powerful motivator for the singer. She is reportedly feeling "very emotional and regretful" about the situation and embarrassed by its potential effect on her children.
