DUI

A former "Free Britney" enthusiast says she regrets publicly pushing to get Britney Spears out of her conservatorship ...

Jessica -- the former advocate who goes by the handle "realiteatv3" on TikTok -- joined us on "TMZ Live" Thursday ... and, we asked her how she feels about pushing for Britney to get out of the conservatorship after her DUI arrest last night.

Jessica -- who has already opened up on TikTok about feeling the movement ultimately did more harm than good -- tells us she's been watching Britney's scary social media videos ... including the clip where she danced around with a pair of knives, and it's made her do a 180 on her previous position.

Britney Spears' inner circle is rallying behind her after her late-night traffic stop ... and TMZ has learned they're hoping a judge chooses treatment over jail time.

Sources familiar with the situation tell TMZ ... people close to Britney want the judge to order her into a program rather than sentence her to any time behind bars after her Wednesday night DUI arrest. We're told those close to her believe this could be a pivotal moment ... one where the focus shifts to getting her help and support -- instead of punishment.

We broke the story ... Britney was pulled over by California Highway Patrol officers around 9:30 PM Wednesday in Westlake Village, CA, not far from her home. We're told she was alone in the car when officers initiated the stop.

Britney Spears was allegedly swerving from lane to lane prior to her DUI arrest ... this according to police dispatch audio.

According to the audio, a 2026 black convertible was driving in and out of lanes and speeding ... and an officer can be heard asking for the dispatcher to "send all units down towards this area please."

An officer later says they are speaking with the car's driver, who has stepped out of the vehicle.

Cops took Britney Spears to a hospital immediately after pulling her over for an alleged DUI ... TMZ has learned.

Britney spent some time at a hospital early Thursday morning, because California Highway Patrol officers transported her there to draw her blood ... according to multiple sources close to Brit.

We're also told she was alone when cops pulled her over in Westlake Village ... not far from her home. She did not sustain any injuries, and the hospital visit was purely to determine her blood alcohol content.

Britney Spears was “crying” while being booked in jail for alleged driving under the influence, TMZ has learned.

TMZ has reached out to her team for comment.

Britney Spears is showing more signs of turmoil following her DUI arrest ... because her Instagram account has suddenly been deactivated.

Search for Britney’s page now and you’ll be met with the generic message, "Sorry, this page isn't available. The link you followed may be broken, or the page may have been removed."

It’s unclear if Britney pulled the plug herself or if the account was taken down for another reason.

The disappearance is a big deal -- Britney’s IG has long been her main outlet, especially in recent years as she’s posted her signature solo dance videos from inside her L.A.-area home.

A strange situation unfolded late Thursday evening outside of the house where Nancy Guthrie was abducted earlier this month ... when a man was arrested for a reported DUI.

NewsNation’s Brian Entin reported the man drove slowly past Nancy’s Tucson-area home Thursday night “50 to 100 times” before being questioned by a photographer, who alleges to have seen a photo of Nancy on the individual’s phone. Finding this strange, the photog notified Pima County sheriff’s deputies, who spoke to the man for a significant amount of time.

Entin reports they had the individual step out of the car and take a field sobriety test. Apparently, he did not perform well because it appears law enforcement arrested the man on the spot.

8:04 PM PT -- Lamar's former manager Gina Rodriguez tells TMZ ... "From 2023 to 2025 Lamar Odom owned Odom Recovery Group which was a marketing company for rehabs, senior living and dental. He never started a business with Dante or Martinez, in fact they opened 'Odom Wellness Treatment Centers' as a LLC in early 2023 without Lamar on it and Lamar's attorney had it closed by May of 2023 when it came to Lamar's attention."

She continues ... "Lamar chose not to work with them because of them opening the business without his name on it. This story they made up about the marijuana is not true. I have all the communication from them and so does the attorney. This was merely a sad attempt at getting themselves some press with a false story."

In response to Gina's statement, Dontae tells TMZ ... he stands by everything he said on the record in our previous story.

Lamar Odom's rehab business partnership is officially over ... but TMZ Sports has learned the split has nothing to do with his DUI arrest this past weekend.

Christian hip-hop artist Dontae Ralston tells TMZ ... Lamar parted ways with his rehab business partners at Odom Wellness Treatment Centers less than a year after acquiring the facilities, with the breakup going down around late 2023 or early 2024.

Dontae and Hall of Fame skateboarder Dennis Martinez decided to end their partnership with the former NBA star because Lamar continued publicly promoting marijuana, despite being affiliated with rehab centers that frequently treat patients specifically for marijuana addiction.
