EXCLUSIVE. Britney Spears is FINALLY sober… and celibate! Insiders say she is ‘done with men’, has ditched the drugs and plans to become a billionaire

When Britney Spears was pictured barefoot and topless, clutching a blanket to protect her modesty, outside a 5-star Los Angeles hotel in May, fans everywhere asked the same question: Is Britney on the brink once again?

The incident – which saw paramedics called in the night to the Chateau Marmont after Spears, who had reportedly been drinking, had suffered a panic attack and badly injured her ankle – was reminiscent of the star’s 2007 breakdown.

Then, she memorably shaved her head as she battled a drug addiction which eventually saw the imposition of her now infamous court-ordered conservatorship.

And while she won her case to be free of those financial and personal constraints – largely overseen by her father – in 2021, Britney has been notably candid about an ongoing struggle with substance abuse in her memoir, published last year.

In the book, Britney – now 42 – described the ADHD medication Adderall as her ‘drug of choice’, how her mother introduced her to alcohol and cigarettes aged 13, and the trauma of losing her virginity the following year.

The Chateau Marmont incident this May came shortly after the finalization of her third divorce, from 30-year-old model Sam Asghari, who she’d described just months before in her memoir as ‘a gift from God’.

Britney had quickly rebounded to a new lover, a housekeeper and convicted felon – Paul Richard Soliz – who was with her at the Chateau Marmont, where fellow guests described how the singer was screaming ‘out of control’ before cops were called.

Most importantly, she is sober when it comes to illegal drugs and is firmly in control of her finances, impeccably placed sources say.

Remarkably, she is said to have sworn off ‘toxic’ men, having cut contact with Soliz and vowed to remain single. But perhaps most important of all, she is aworking on her relationship with her two sons, who have been estranged and raised largely by their father Kevin Federline but are now both of age. This, say friends, has been transformative.

‘She will be healing from her trauma for a very long time,’ a source said. ‘But she is done with men for now and focusing on herself.’
