Pop star Britney Spears is back on Instagram a few short weeks after her DUI arrest in early March. The “Oops!… I Did It Again” singer was pulled over after she was suspected of driving under the influence. Although her hearing is not until May, plenty of fans are hoping that she will get the help that she needs before then. She seems to have the support of her family; however, her sons, Sean Preston and Jayden James, have been spending time with her since her arrest.
Britney Spears Spends Time With Her Two Sons On A Yacht
Britney deactivated her Instagram account shortly before her arrest, but she returned to share a few photos and videos with her sons on March 27. In one video that looks like it was taken in the living room of her Thousand Oaks home, Britney can be seen posing with her son as they film selfie videos in various mirrors.
In the caption, Britney made sure to thank her followers for their support. “Thank you guys for all your support… spending time with family and friends is such a blessing !! Stay kind !!!” she wrote alongside a string of five rose emojis to represent her favorite flower.
She posted another follow-up video on Instagram with similar video clips spliced together to make a longer video. This one was captioned, “Stay kind,” with a single red rose emoji.
On March 29, two days later, she shared two photos that featured her posing for a still photo with her son. She can be seen wearing white shorts and a frilly pink crop top, along with dark sunglasses. She didn’t write anything in the caption of this post, but she did add four emojis.
Britney Reminds Her Fans That It’s Been ‘Five Years’
She followed that up with a video of her posing with both of her sons. They can clearly be seen on a yacht together before Britney starts dancing for the camera. “Get them with that look u know,” she wrote. “I know I gotta stay cool.” She finished off her caption with a long string of different emoji faces.
Hours later, she posted a third video that featured her wearing a white bikini top and neon green bottoms. It seems that she was in a bit of a “Titanic” mood, as she captioned the post, “I’m flying, I’m flying, Jack.”
She then added, “I better stay present whenever I can. I should disappear for how slow they went on that boat … I can still dream folks !!! PS… it’s been five years, JUST SAYING!” Five years might be a reference to her controversial 13-year conservatorship, which began in February 2008 and ended in November 2021, after it was struck down by a judge.
Britney Spears’ Former Lawyer Speaks Out On Her DUI Arrest
Mathew Rosengart became Britney’s lawyer following the resignation of her court-appointed attorney, Samuel D. Ingham III. In 2021, the former federal prosecutor was able to get her estranged father, Jamie Spears, removed as her conservator only two months before it was terminated entirely.
In addition to ending her 13-year conservatorship, he also helped her publish her 2023 memoir, “The Woman In Me,” and secure other lucrative deals at a time when Britney was struggling to take control over her own finances. The two parted ways professionally in 2024, after Britney and Jamie settled their court case and officially ended the conservatorship battle once and for all.
Mathew Rosengart Praises Britney As An ‘Icon’
Although many have expressed concern for the “Lucky” singer’s health following her DUI arrest in early March, Rosengart seemed sure that Britney would take the “right steps” going forward in a brief statement that he made to Us Weekly approximately two weeks after her arrest.
“It was my great honor to work with and protect Britney as her litigator, and I will always be proud of her and the work we did together, ranging from helping, at her request and direction, to restore her freedom, civil rights and civil liberties after a 13-year conservatorship that stripped her of those rights, to many other matters,” he said.
“Britney is and always will be an icon,” he continued. “While I do not have the facts concerning March 4, with freedom comes responsibility, and I was pleased to see that Britney will take the right steps and comply with the law. I’ll always care greatly about her and help and support her in any way I can.”
Britney Spears Felt Like A ‘Child-Robot’ During Her Conservatorship
In an excerpt from “The Woman In Me” shared with PEOPLE magazine ahead of the book’s publication, Britney recalled becoming a “child-robot” during her conservatorship.
“I became a robot. But not just a robot — a sort of child-robot. I had been so infantilized that I was losing pieces of what made me feel like myself,” she wrote. “The conservatorship stripped me of my womanhood, made me into a child. I became more of an entity than a person onstage. I had always felt music in my bones and my blood; they stole that from me.”
“The woman in me was pushed down for a long time. They wanted me to be wild onstage, the way they told me to be, and to be a robot the rest of the time. I felt like I was being deprived of those good secrets of life — those fundamental supposed sins of indulgence and adventure that make us human,” she continued. “They wanted to take away that specialness and keep everything as rote as possible. It was death to my creativity as an artist.”
