Britney Spears’ DUI arrest on March 4 comes after months of alarming behavior. From airing her feces-covered mansion on Instagram to an erratic driving incident in Oct. 2025 following the release of her ex Kevin Federline's bombshell book, Page Six has a timeline of the concerning events.
It will take more than one DUI arrest for Britney Spears ’ conservatorship to be reinstated, according to a legal expert.— the partner and co-chair of the tax, benefits, and private client practice group at Blank Rome — exclusively tells Page Six how the pop star could“Although a DUI arrest could be a factor for the imposition of another conservatorship, by no means would a conviction on a DUI result in the imposition of a conservatorship,” Weissbart says.
Britney Spears’ ex-husband Sam Asghari weighs in on pop star’s DUI arrest: ‘People make mistakes’Britney Spears’ text to her friend after DUI arrest revealed — as he urges her to make huge change The courts would need to demonstrate that the “Toxic” singer is “incapable of managing her personal and financial affairs” in order for another conservatorship to be put in place, the lawyer explains. “Let’s be clear, the penalty for DUI is not the imposition of a conservatorship,” Weissbart stresses. “It could be probation, it could be a fine, it could be community service, it could potentially even be incarcerated for a sentence. “But it’s not the imposition of a conservatorship, right? There would have to be a pattern that demonstrates that she’s truly incapable, on a long-term basis, of managing her personal affairs,” he says.The lawyer says there would have to be “a pattern” that proves she is unable to manage her personal affairs or finances.“If someone can prove that she is suffering from mental illness, that she can’t part with drugs or alcohol, that she’s addicted, that it’s impacting her ability to manage her personal affairs on an ongoing basis, then that would be what the court would look for to impose a conservatorship on her,” he says.“When someone has a conservator, their freedom is completely, completely mitigated because this other individual is managing their financial and personal affairs,” he says. “An isolated DUI, although that’s awful, is not necessarily resulting in the imposition of a conservatorship.”Weissbart doesn’t believe Britney’s dad, Jamie, would ever be her conservator again if it came to another legal arrangement.There is also a very small likelihood that Spears’ father, Jamie Spears, would be named her conservator again if evidence did point to the singer needing to be placed under the legal arrangements. The New York City-based legal eagle also points to how Britney’s rep told Page Six that the Grammy-winning artist “is going to take the right steps and comply with the law” and hopefully get the help she needs. “I believe there was a statement made by Britney’s rep that she’s looking to make everything right and get her life in order,” Weissbart says. “But if for some reason someone was going to have a conservator imposed again, I think the court will look for the most mild, least restrictive means to start if that were on the table.” Weissbart noted how his firm led a #FreeBritney social media campaign when Britney was fighting to end her conservatorship in 2021, sharing“She’s given credit for really putting her life and her mental illness out there,” he says. “That clearly touched many, many people in various ways.”, the songstress’s DUI arrest is the latest in a string of incidents pointing to her potential mental health struggles. On Wednesday night, Britney was arrested for driving under the influence by the California Highway Patrol in Ventura County, Calif.exclusively obtained by Page Six captured an officer describing Britney’s Black BMW sedan convertible swerving “in and out of lanes” and “speeding.” She was, “This was an unfortunate incident that is completely inexcusable. 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.that her family — including her two sons whom she shares with ex-husband Kevin Federline — has been “rallying around her.”Diane von Furstenberg returns to beauty with a stunning limited-edition collabNetflix dumps Meghan Markle in latest blow to troubled As Ever brand‘House Of Villains’ Star Kate Chastain Still Questions If JoJo Siwa Did ‘Special Forces’ Because She Was Broke: “I Hope To Never Reach That Point In My Life”Sofía Vergara styles plunging leather corset with $72K Hermès pursebritneyspears/InstagramThe lawyer says there would have to be"a pattern" that proves she is unable to manage her personal affairs or finances.Andy Johnstone for Page Six
