Singer Christina Aguilera has been urged by friends to address her drinking after she was detained by police in Los Angeles earlier this week, according to reports.
The 30-year-old was taken in by the police early on Tuesday morning as they said she "was not capable of taking care of herself."
A source is quoted in Us Weekly as saying "She is a total mess."
The mother-of-one was a passenger in a car being driven by her boyfriend Matthew Rutler when the incident occurred. 25-year-old Rutler was released on $30,000 bail after being held for driving under the influence.
A spokesman for the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department commented on the incident saying "They [police] witnessed a person driving erratically. At 2.45am this morning a gentleman was stopped for allegedly driving under the influence.
"He was subsequently arrested and his passenger, Ms Aguilera, she was arrested. It was kind of a unique situation with this law as she was not capable of taking care of herself. She was incapacitated.
"When she got out of the car, she couldn't stand. We had to help her stand."
The singer will not face any charges.
The magazine claims Aguilera has been caught up in a number of alcohol-related drama in recent months reporting that she was involved in a heated argument with her mother on New Year’s Eve.
