Britney Spears DUI fallout: Kevin Federline finally speaks out

Kevin Federline has finally responded after reports surfaced that Britney Spears chose to enter rehab following a DUI arrest.

Speaking via his lawyer, Mark Vincent Kaplan, the 48-year-old expressed relief that the situation appears to be on her own terms.

“Kevin is aware of the reports that she has checked into rehab and that if she needs help, he is happy that she is getting help and that the decision appears to be one that she made and not one imposed upon her by others if it was,” the lawyer said to TMZ.

However, the sources close to the situation told Page Six that the songstress's decision to seek treatment was made independently and is not tied to any single issue, but rather a broader focus on wellbeing.

“This isn’t about one substance in particular, it has a dual purpose….this is about Britney putting her mental health first and taking some time for herself to focus on the things that are important to her,” one tipster explained.

The insider added that the singer is actively committed to improving her health.

“She’s dedicated to working on her health. This is something she really wants to do for herself. This was her own decision,” the source said.

A separate source noted that Spears has strong support from her family as she prioritizes recovery.

“Everyone just wants Britney to be healthy and in a good place and the fact that this was her decision just proves how dedicated she is to her own recovery and getting herself back on solid ground,” according to reports.
