Britney Spears has broken her silence following her DUI arrest earlier in March. The pop star took to Instagram on Friday (March 27) and posted a clip dancing in the mirror with her 19-year-old son, Jayden Federline, along with a message thanking her fans for their support.
“Thank you guys for all your support… spending time with family and friends is such a blessing,” she wrote. “Stay kind !!!”
Spears turned comments off for the post, which has accumulated nearly 200,000 likes as of press time. “I’m composed, I’m being very composed,” the five-time Billboard Hot 100-topping singer can be heard saying while striking different poses with her son, who attempts a Michael Jackson impression, putting on a white fedora.
The 44-year-old followed up with another post featuring similar footage alongside her son from the original. “Stay kind,” she implored in the caption with a rose emoji.
Spears was arrested for suspicion of a DUI on March 4 in Ventura County, Calif., at 9:28 p.m. PT. She was booked by the Ventura County Sheriff’s Office and released from custody the following morning, around 6:07 a.m. PT on March 5.
“This was an unfortunate incident that is completely inexcusable,” Spears’ rep told Billboard. “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.”
The star’s rep continued: “Her boys are going to be spending time with her. Her loved ones are going to come up with an overdue needed plan to set her up for success for well-being.”
Spears previously faced legal trouble when she turned herself in following a 2007 hit-and-run, where the singer hit a parked car in Los Angeles. However, the case was eventually dismissed.
Billboard has reached out to Spears’ rep for comment.
