Why Britney Spears’ photo wouldn’t be made public

Pop star Britney Spears will not have to worry about the circulation of his photo on social networks after his arrest for drunk driving in early March. The “Oops!…I Did It Again” singer was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence, but was released hours after her arrest. Although his hearing doesn’t take place until May, law enforcement officials have already decided they will not release his photo to the public.

On March 10, about a week after his drunk driving arrest, the Ventura County Sheriff’s Office told Us Weekly that his booking photo would not be made public. A spokesperson said the photo “does not meet requirements and is considered discretionary.”

“It is our practice to release booking photos for violent crimes or when an individual poses an immediate threat to the public. The charges against Brittany Spears do not warrant their release under our policy,” a Sheriff’s Office official told TMZ.

Since the “Toxic” singer does not fall into either category, her photo will not be made public.

Britney Spears is “on edge” about reconciling with her father

The “Lucky” singer was surrounded by friends and family following his arrest for drunk driving. However, she doesn’t seem to want her father’s support, Jamie Spearswho headed his guardianship for about 12 years. The conservatorship ended in November 2021, when it was overturned by a judge.

On March 9, a Los Angeles associate who has regular contact with her group of friends and family, exclusively told Page Six that the pop princess was “nervous” and “upset” about being reunited with her father. However, Jamie “no longer wants to remain disconnected from his daughter” and wants “the chance to be able to talk with her and find common ground.”

Britney Spears felt “trapped” within her conservatorship

Unfortunately, making amends will be difficult due to the nature of her conservatorship, where the source said she felt “trapped and controlled.”

“There is a long-term hatred and hatred that may never be overcome,” the source explained. “Jamie gets on Britney’s nerves, and her mood turns deeply dark at the thought of him being in her life…despite the efforts of the people in her life for a reunion.”

“She hated having to adhere to regular doctor visits, therapy sessions and medication plans. It’s understandable for someone who suffers from bipolar disorder,” the source continued. “Obviously, a father overseeing the principle of this process is a delicate situation – particularly emotionally – but his condition required medical supervision.”

Britney reflected on the ‘control’ her father had over her body

In her 2023 memoir, “The Woman In Me,” the “Crossroads” actress described how her father treated her during about 13 years of conservatorship.

“Thirteen years have passed without me feeling like a shadow of myself. I think now about my father and his associates having control of my body and my money for so long and it makes me sick,” she wrote in an excerpt published by PEOPLE magazine.

“Think about how many male artists spent all their money, how many of them suffered from drug addiction or mental health issues,” she continued. “No one tried to take away control of his body and his money. I didn’t deserve what my family did to me.”

Britney Spears claims her father called her ‘fat’

In her memoir, Britney claimed that her father called her “fat” on several occasions. “If I thought being criticized in the press about my body was a bad thing, it hurt even more from my own father,” she wrote. “He told me repeatedly that I looked fat and that I was going to have to do something.”

Amid her conservatorship, the singer said she began to feel “infantilized” and compared herself to “some sort of robot child.”

“I became a robot. But not just a robot, a kind of robot child. I had been so infantilized that I was losing pieces of what made me feel like myself,” she wrote in another excerpt. “Guardianship stripped me of my femininity, made me a child. I became more of an entity than a person on stage. I had always felt the music in my bones and in my blood; they stole it from me.”
