Britney Spears' friend has begged her to make a huge move following her arrest. The pop star was handcuffed by the California Highway Patrol around 9:30 PM on Wednesday night for allegedly Driving Under the Influence.
Her former personal assistant and long time friend Sean Phillip spoke on Good Morning Britain today about his long time friend and explained how she was doing following the arrest.
"All I texted her was, 'Are you OK' and she just said 'I'm OK' I then asked if I could speak about this and she said, 'Go ahead.' She is such a great person and we all make mistakes. I makes me feel bad when she suffers such public mistakes," he said.
"I want the world to know she's a great person. We all make mistakes'. The change I would like to see is for her to get out of Los Angeles. But I have been talking to her weekly, daily. She's the same Britney that I knew in 2003. There is no dissociation with her that I have with her character and personality. You have to think about who else is she associating herself with."

A representative for Britney said last night: "This was an unfortunate incident that is completely inexcusable. 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.
"Her boys are going to be spending time with her. Her loved ones are going to come up with an overdue needed plan to set her up for success for well being."
Britney has documented her troubled life over the years. She was placed in a conservatorship from 2008 until 2021 and was released from the conservatorship after she accused her dad of "conservatorship abuse". Following the termination of the conservatorship, she slammed her family in a post just last month.

In a lengthy post on social media, she said: "As people, all we really wa nt is to feel connected to each other and never feel alone ... for those of you in your family that have said to help you is to isolate you and make you feel unbelievably left out ... they were wrong.
"We can forgive as people but u don't ever forget. Yearning and longing for contact is always crucial !!! I'm incredibly lucky to even be alive with how my family treated me once in my life and now I'm scared of them.
"It's weird how God works in mysterious ways. My friends, what do you think he is saying today ??? Because to be totally honest with you, no matt er what he says, they will never take responsibility for what they did. (sic)"
