This is so sad to hear…
As you know, on Wednesday night Britney Spears was arrested for a DUI in Los Angeles. She spent some time in custody before getting sent to the hospital, where she stayed early Thursday morning. Her inner circle has been surrounding her, per reports, and they hope to get her some real help. But how did this all come about?
Well, per a source for PageSix, the release of her ex Kevin Federline‘s book You Thought You Knew really took a toll on Brit. The book, as we covered, said some pretty awful things and made some wild and scary claims about the pop star. This sent her into a “downhill” spiral, per the close insider:
“But the truth is, this has been going on for a while. Her behavior has become increasingly erratic in recent months. She goes from being fine to being not. It was the Kevin book that really sent her over the edge, and it’s been downhill from there.”

The source continued:
“It really impacted her emotionally.”
We can imagine. The book reportedly hit her hard because she “feels like she gave Kevin everything that he wanted over the years” and “paid him so much money” only for him to “exploit her” anyway:
“He used her; he wanted to ruin her. And that was a really hard pill to swallow; it absolutely killed her that someone would want to damage her so much.”
So sad.
And this emotional turmoil continued right into her arrest. Per a source for TMZ, the Princess of Pop was “crying a lot” while being booked at the Ventura County Sheriff’s Office. Aside from the tears, though, they say she was acting perfectly fine.
Such a heartbreaking situation. Reactions, Perezcious readers?
