    “Her sons are with her right now,” an insider told Page Six following the arrest. “They love her and want to support her and just want her to feel better.”

    The Gimme More singer has reportedly been sober since the arrest and attended Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) meetings in LA.

    “Britney has been very open and honest in her AA meetings, she has said she loves pouring her heart out as she knows that is the best way to heal and feel better,” a source told The Daily Mail.

    “The only thing she has indulged in is fancy coffee drinks,” they added. “She is being super careful because she wants to be there for her kids.”

    After the Toxic singer spent some quality time with her sons on a yacht, critics shared wild theories and claimed the woman in the video wasn’t Britney at all.

    “That’s not her,” one said, while another quipped, “This doesn’t even look like the girl who dances in the house. Neither are Britt.”

    “It’s been suggested that the Brit we see now is either AI or someone pretending to be her,” wrote another.

    “She basically admits in one of her recent posts that we haven’t seen her in 5 years,” one said. “It’s definitely some sort of body double mixed with CGI/AI.”

    “Can’t be her,” another claimed. “It’s been very clear that her sons do not like her. They looked too loving to this woman.”

    Conspiracy theories about Britney Spears being replaced by a clone or body double have circulated for years.

    Self-described “conspiracy theorist” Kristin Cavallari fueled the rumors after claiming she thinks Britney and Kanye West have been cloned.

    “I wholeheartedly believe what I’m about to say: I think there are clones, OK? And I think Kanye is a clone,” she said on her Let’s Be Honest podcast in 2024.

    “That’s not Britney Spears [on social media],” she added. “I’m sorry, it’s not Britney Spears. Go look at photos! That’s not Britney Spears.”

    The I’m a Slave 4 U singer shut down clone theories last year with a very cryptic Britney-like post on Instagram.

    “A lot of people say I am a clone, I wish I was that interesting but no I’m owned by a little girl who lives within me. She is called Mini Me!” she wrote, as quoted by Newsweek.

    She went on to talk about her alter-ego, whose real name she didn’t share because she’s “selfish” with the people she loves.

    The mother-of-two has had a complicated relationship with her sons, but has rekindled her relationship with them in recent months

    Britney has had a complicated relationship over the years with her sons, who have mostly lived with their father since their divorce.

    But the mother and son seemed to have rekindled their relationship in recent months and have been spending time together over the last few weeks.

    “She is very happy that they are close again. It is healing her heart. She loves her sons,” an insider told the Daily Mail.

    After her DUI arrest this month, insiders said it was an “unfortunate incident” that was “completely inexcusable.”

    Sources claimed the mother-of-two was “very happy” that she is close with her sons again

    AI or no, it's amazing that we are at that point of doubt so quickly. AI has gotten SO good in the last year alone. Pretty soon we won't be able to trust anything we see on video.
