Pop superstar Britney Spears has reportedly checked herself into a treatment facility following her arrest on suspicion of a DUI, a move that has garnered support from her former husband, Sam Asghari. Asghari, when approached by TMZ on Wednesday (April 22) in West Hollywood, expressed his approval of Spears' decision, stating, "I think it's great. Anything that has anything to do with healing and great things, as long as the person is in charge of that, it's all great." He clarified that he has not recently spoken with Spears.

Spears' representative had previously confirmed to Billboard on April 12 that the singer had voluntarily entered a facility, though no specific reason was provided at the time. This action followed her arrest in Ventura County, California, for a suspected DUI. She was booked on March 4 and subsequently released the following morning. Following the arrest, Spears' rep issued a statement to Billboard, calling it "an unfortunate incident that is completely inexcusable." The statement added, "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."

Britney Spears and Sam Asghari were married in 2022, having first met on the set of her "Slumber Party" music video. Their marriage lasted just over a year, with their separation occurring in 2023 and their divorce being finalized in December 2024. After Spears' arrest, Asghari also spoke to Fox News, emphasizing the importance of privacy for individuals making mistakes: "When it comes to people making mistakes, I understand that, but I think everybody deserves privacy. And I hope the press has learned from the past [and] that they give her the privacy that she needs." To date, Britney Spears has not made any public statements regarding either her arrest or her current treatment.
