In early March, Britney Spears was arrested after allegedly driving under the influence.
Since that time, she has had the charges reduced and voluntarily entered rehab, not to mention spent some healing time with her sons.
But a new report details what police recorded on the evening of her arrest.
Some of this is worrisome. But it seems that some elements don’t fully match the narrative. Take a look:
PHOTO ONE
On Thursday, May 21, Us Weekly obtained and detailed the March 2026 police report on Britney’s DUI arrest.
Police wrote that on March 4, a little after 9 PM, police responded after an anonymous caller reported a vehicle “traveling at high speeds and swerving.”
An officer observed a vehicle crossing into a neighboring lane before sounding the siren to pull over Britney’s car.
“[The subject] continued to drive in the #2 lane and did not immediately react to my emergency lights,” the officer recorded. “I activated the [police car’s] siren to get the driver’s attention.”
In the vehicle, the police officer found Britney wearing a green striped dress and purple sandals … and a “distinct odor of an alcoholic beverage.”
During the stop, Britney reportedly told the officer that she’d had one champagne mimosa seven hours earlier.
“I could probably drink four bottles of wine and take care of you. I’m an angel,” she allegedly assured the officer.
According to the police report, Britney had taken prescription medications that day. This apparently included 200mg of Lamictal, 40mg of Prozac, and 2.5 mg of Adderall.
Those medications are a mood stabilizer, an antidepressant, and an ADHD med. Pretty normal medications found in the homes of millions of Americans. One container of Adderall in the vehicle was allegedly not her prescription.
She did admit that she had not eaten in about six hours. Her most recent meal had been ice cream, eaten at around 3 PM that day.

[The officer] also observed an empty wine glass in the cup holder between the front driver seat and passenger seat,” the police report included.
According to the same report, a physical check determined that Britney had “red and watery” eyes and dilated pupils.
Britney would go on to pass two chemical breath tests once she arrived at a local precinct.
“I instructed Spears to exit the [car], but she initially refused,” the officer recorded. “Spears related she had been pranked and harassed in the past and did not want to exit.”
According to the officer, Britney “wanted to speak to her lawyer and had the right as a woman not to exit her vehicle.” After about ten minutes of coaxing, however, she did step out.
“I detected the distinct odor of an alcoholic beverage emitting from her breath and person,” the officer reported. “Her speech was rapid and slurred, her gait was unsteady, and she was fidgeting with her fingers.”
The officer claimed that Britney had “drastic mood swings” during the stop, oscillating between “confrontational and agitated to flamboyant.”
She was allegedly uncooperative during attempts at a field sobriety test, complaining that lights hurt her eyes.
Police transported Britney to the CHP Moorpark Office for a Drug Recognition Evaluation. They then transported her to Los Robles Medical Center to have blood drawn.
When she needed to use the restroom, an officer theorized that it was a ploy “to delay the blood draw,” accusing her of becoming “belligerent” in the restroom.
The report announced: “I placed Spears in handcuffs and placed her in the right front seat of the [police vehicle].” It sounds like Britney had a truly terrible evening.

Earlier this week, a local radio station in Essex, England announced that King Charles had passed away.
Charles has been battling cancer, of course, and he’s 77 years old, so listeners to the live broadcast likely didn’t question what they were hearing.
Thankfully, the report was erroneous, and two days later, we can confirm that Charles is still very much alive.
So what gives? How did this happen?
Well, like so many baffling blunders in 2026, it sounds like AI may have been at the root of this problem.
“Due to a computer error at our main studio, the Death of a Monarch procedure, which all UK stations hold in readiness while hoping not to require, was accidentally activated on Tuesday afternoon (19 May), mistakenly announcing that HM the King had passed away,” the station said in a statement issued on Wednesday.
“Radio Caroline then fell silent as would be required, which alerted us to restore programming and issue an on-air apology,” the statement continued.
“Caroline has been pleased to broadcast Her Majesty the Queen’s, and now the king’s, Christmas message and we hope to do so for many years to come.
“We apologise to HM the king and to our listeners for any distress caused.”
Needless to say, that’s a pretty big whoopsie.
And while it was clearly an honest mistake, the situation has sparked some interesting conversations about the role of monarchs in the modern world.
Last month, Queen Elizabeth II would have turned 100, and the occasion inspired numerous think pieces about how the world seemed to move on rather quickly following her death.
Elizabeth reigned for over 70 years and was one of the most beloved figures on earth. Charles became king when he was 73 and does not enjoy so sterling a reputation.
While the news of his death may have been greatly exaggerated, the reaction online served as a reminder of his complex legacy and the weakening cultural power of the royal family in the 21st century.

Save the date!
T.J. Holmes and Amy Robach have been engaged since last summer.
Now, they’re revealing that they’ve set the date for their much anticipated wedding.
As it turns out, they shared even more about their plans than they’d intended.
‘I had a date that I really wanted’
On Tuesday, May 19, T.J. and Amy joined Bill and Giuliana: The Podcast‘s second episode.
When faced with the question of whether the have a the wedding date, T.J. confirmed: “We do.”
Interestingly, Amy immediately expressed surprise.
“Are you okay with that date?” she asked her fiance. “I had a date that I really wanted.”
Amy marveled: “You’re just telling me now on the podcast that you’re okay with that date?”
According to T.J., he’d been hesitant until faced with the question. That was when he knew.
“Being here with them made me more comfortable,” he explained.
Truth be told, it is not uncommon for people to appear indecisive or even unaware of something important until faced with a question. Our thoughts are complex and thinking can be more contextual than we’d care to admit.
With that out of the way, there is one natural question that follows.
When are T.J. and Amy getting married?
So, when is the big day?
T.J. and Amy declined to share their planned wedding date on the podcast.
However, they did shed light on aspects of their plans.
“There is a way we want to get married that we haven’t revealed necessarily,” T.J. teased, “but it would be very special to us.”
He continued: “We can’t say what that is. That’s a big thing for us.”
For the moment, Amy went on to explain, their priority is spending plenty of quality time together.
“This will be our third marriage, both of us,” Amy pointed out.
“We’ve both been married twice before, and we want to maximize the amount of time we have together,” she continued.
Amy affirmed: “We want to enjoy as much of that as we can.”
Sometimes, people who have been cheated on, or people who grew up with a cheating parent, overcompensate and become joined-at-the-hip with their next partner.
It arguably makes sense that a couple who ended up together before their respective marriages ended might have a similar reaction, even if they were not the victims of cheating.
Anyway, we’ll look forward to wedding details as they continue to share them.

Democrats’ long-awaited autopsy of the 2024 election backfired almost immediately after it was released on Thursday.
The Democratic National Committee’s biting and gloomy portrait of the party immediately kicked off a fresh round of infighting, with strategists and party officials lambasting chair Ken Martin for releasing a haphazard, typo-ridden report that failed to fully capture why, exactly, the party was crushed by President Donald Trump.
Martin explained his reasoning to DNC members on a private call Thursday afternoon, according to three people on the call granted anonymity to share details. One person said Martin’s post as chair is “absolutely at risk,” though they were not sure “if DNC members have enough votes to actually pass a vote of no confidence.”
Martin appeared to acknowledge his shaky standing at the end of his remarks to members, thanking them for their “continued support.”
“Being a leader at any level means you own every single mistake — those of your creation and frankly those not of your creation. This was a major mistake. I own it,” he said, per a recording of the call obtained by POLITICO. “And now it’s time for us to move forward at the DNC, and I hope that you’ll move forward with me.”
The 192-page document — which the DNC only made public after it had been published by CNN — made no mention of Israel or Gaza and included sparse references to former President Joe Biden’s decision to run for reelection, two key elements that contributed to Trump’s 2024 win.
“We should take this autopsy with a massive grain of salt. Clearly, the people who put it together ran a highly ineffective, ill-researched process. Therefore it’s difficult to draw constructive conclusions,” said Adrienne Elrod, a senior adviser on the Biden and then Harris campaigns.
“What’s important is what’s missing, what they’re not releasing,” said Ashley Etienne, a former communications director for Vice President Kamala Harris who left the administration in 2021.
“It feels like what the DNC is doing is cherry-picking the parts of it that it wants to actually release, that [are] less problematic for the party going forward, because most of the stuff that we’re reading right now is … not groundbreaking.”
The Democratic Party is still navigating its path forward while it remains fully locked out of power in Washington and struggles to match Republicans’ cash-on-hand advantage. The report’s release comes after months of internal and external pressure on the DNC to provide lessons from 2024 in order to move forward with the looming midterms.
Martin released a lengthy statement apologizing for how he handled the autopsy, which was written by Democratic strategist Paul Rivera, although his name does not appear on the released copy and he is no longer working for the DNC. The DNC never received a finished report, according to a person within the party granted anonymity to share details, and the author did not turn over a list of interviewees or transcripts despite multiple requests. The post-election analysis contains interviews with hundreds of operatives from all 50 states.
David Hogg — the former DNC vice chair who was ousted over a procedural issue and has embarked on a primary spree against fellow members of his party — unsurprisingly called for Martin’s resignation.
Asked why in an interview with POLITICO Thursday, Hogg responded: “I mean, have you read the report?”
“This cannot be the best person to lead us in this moment,” Hogg said, emphasizing the missing elements of the report like Biden’s age and the war in Gaza. “I can think of 100 different people that could do a better job.”
One Democratic operative who worked for the DNC and the Harris campaign called the autopsy a “self-inflicted wound and unfortunate given victories in New Jersey and Virginia.” Another senior Democratic operative close to the process who was granted anonymity to speak candidly said simply: “The report’s so stupid, it’s hard to make sense why something’s in there and why it’s not.”
Still, James Zogby, a longtime DNC member, said the backlash to Martin may be overblown.
“I’m getting calls from people saying ‘do I think he should step down?’ And the answer is no, not at all,” he said. “The people who are making the biggest fuss are the people who didn’t want him in the first place.”
Even in its draft-like state, the report drew scathing conclusions as to why the party lost.
Rivera, in the autopsy, wrote that Democrats “have proven incapable of projecting strength, unity, and leadership, and voters have drifted away,” citing Latino voters’ shifts to Trump and highlighting the GOP’s immense spending.
The report also dings the Biden White House for saddling Harris with the immigration portfolio, which Trump and running mate JD Vance used to great effect after she took over the Democratic ticket. And simply put, Rivera implies that Republicans are better at running campaigns.
“At times, it seems Democrats are trying to win arguments while Republicans are focused on winning elections,” the report says. “Democrats operate in an ecosystem defined by reason even in cycles when the electorate is defined by rage.”
The Harris campaign in particular struggled to respond to an attack ad the Trump campaign ran featuring statements on transgender Americans: “They all recognized the attack was very effective,” Rivera wrote, “and felt the campaign was boxed.”
Not every Democrat was upset by the release Thursday. Prominent centrist groups that argue the party has drifted too far to the left found validation in the report.
“Ken Martin’s autopsy of the autopsy was excellent!” said Liam Kerr, co-founder of the centrist WelcomePAC. “After spending a decade accepting all edits from every progressive interest group, better to just delete all DNC strategy docs and admit we need to start from scratch. Admitting incompetence is much better than denial.”
Jonathan Cowan, president of center-left group Third Way, suggested the report was shelved because it would anger progressives. “I think it’s very clear why this report was buried, because as it says in the opening, it calls for Democrats to return to the vital center,” Cowan said. “Now I understand why a lot of very Twitter-friendly, super liberal DNC staff didn’t want this to come out.”
The overwhelming takeaway from the autopsy, after conversations with dozens of Democrats on Thursday, was that it’s time to move on.
“Folks want to point fingers and navel gaze, and this internal fight doesn’t get us where we want to go,” said Tory Gavito, president of Way to Win, a Democratic donor table. “We are months away from an existential election period. The economy is in free fall, but the Constitution is in shreds. Democrats have to win and have to focus on what they need to do to win, and we weren’t waiting for the DNC to release a report to do that.”
The postmortem’s release ends a monthlong fight within the DNC over whether or not it should have been made public at all. Martin pledged to release the document publicly in January 2025, then reversed course in December. The move infuriated Democrats at war with themselves over what went wrong in the election even as Martin said he was attempting to steer the party toward focusing on a series of post-2024 overperformances rather than continuing to publicly rehash its botched presidential effort.
But pressure continued to build on the DNC to release it, with liberal groups like RootsAction flooding DNC officers with thousands of emails, as activists and allies traded conspiracy theories about what could be in the report that the organization didn’t want publicly aired.
Martin reversed course — again — on Thursday, acknowledging in a Substack post that by trying to avoid creating a distraction after the party’s wins last November, “I created even bigger distraction. For that, I sincerely apologize.”
By putting a bright red disclaimer atop every page noting that the “document reflects the views of the author, not the DNC” — the party made one thing very clear: It still hasn’t formed its own conclusion of what went wrong, or where it’s headed next.
