EXCLUSIVE: Britney Spears Faces 'Ultimate Music Industry Embarrassment' In Wake of DUI Arrest
Insiders say labels are backing away as legal drama & comeback plans collide.
Britney Spears is facing what’s being called an “ultimate music industry embarrassment” after her recent DUI arrest – with sources claiming she may be forced to drop new music on social media as record labels refuse to work with her.
Spears, 44, is said to have been attempting to reconnect with music executives in recent months in a bid to relaunch her pop career after years away from the mainstream spotlight.
