Britney is yet to publicly comment on the reports of her arrest and her Instagram account appears to no longer be active. Earlier today it was reported the Toxic singer, whose highs and lows have been very publicly documented, was granted a permanent restraining order against a Louisiana man after her security team claimed he showed up at her home after making "disturbing social media posts".

It's understood she filed court documents against the 51 year old man, called Donald, and claimed he had been harassing her since 2013. It's understood Donald was arrested for trespassing on her property in 2025. He has been ordered to stay 100 yards away from the singer by a court after he was found by Britney's security, who contacted the sheriff's department, who found the man shaking at the scene and smoking cigarettes.
