BRITNEY Spears has deactivated her Instagram account following her arrest on suspicion of driving under the influence on Thursday, March 4, 2026, in Ventura, California.
The 44-year-old pop star was taken into custody and later released in the early hours of March 5 under a “cite and release” arrangement, according to records from the Ventura Sheriff’s Office. She is scheduled to appear in court on May 4.
Spears has faced a series of personal and professional changes in recent years. In 2021, a Los Angeles County judge ended the singer’s 13-year conservatorship, restoring control over her personal and financial affairs.
More recently, the Grammy winner also sold her music catalog, marking another major shift in her career. (NPG)
