‘She’s Taking It Seriously’
The star was arrested in March.
The outlet reported that part of the reason she’s going to rehab now is because of her pending DUI case.
“She knows strategically this will look good in front of the judge — that she’s taking it seriously,” another insider said.
Spears’ sons, Sean Preston and Jayden James, are supportive of their famous mama.
The program is reportedly 30 days, but she could “stay long,” one source said.

Britney Spears’ Loved Ones Wanted Her to Get Help
Britney Spears’ loved ones wanted her to get help, a source claimed.
The singer’s loved ones apparently wanted her to get help sooner rather than later, a source told OK!.
“Those around Brit are hoping this moment could be pivotal. People are hoping it becomes a turning point that finally pushes her toward getting professional help in a structured environment. The concern is that without intervention, the pattern of behavior may continue, so there is a strong feeling that rehab or a similar program could provide the stability she needs, and they are praying she goes into treatment.”
Britney Spears Thanks Her Fans Post-Arrest
Britney Spears deactivated her Instagram post-arrest.
A second source said: “Her inner circle is increasingly unified in the belief that she would benefit from entering a structured program. There is a hope that this incident serves as the catalyst for that step. They believe she needs consistent support and oversight to help her move forward in a healthier direction.”
The “Stronger” songstress has been seen hanging out with her two sons in the past few weeks.
She later broke her silence, saying, “Thank you guys for all your support… spending time with family and friends is such a blessing!”
