Reese Witherspoon Opens Up About Divorce
Reese Witherspoon’s usually a really shy, private woman. But in a recent interview, the Sweet Home Alabama actress shared some of the pain that she was feeling after her split from ex-husband Ryan Phillippe.
She told press, “Right around Christmastime I was sitting in a parking lot and I felt like I just couldn’t get out of the car. It was like, I can’t get out of the car. I thought, Okay, half of the parking lot has dealt with this. More than half of the parking lot has dealt with this. Okay, let’s make it a little bigger. Half of this city has dealt with this. Okay, let’s make it a little bigger – half of this country, until I finally got out of the car.”
Witherspoon recalled a scene from her Oscar-winning performance in “Walk the Line” that was reminiscent of how she was feeling on that December day. “There’s this moment in Walk the Line where June Carter says, ‘I was never aware of how much I was seen.’ I was very aware of how much I was seen. It was this moment of self-discovery and loss of identity and who was stepping out of the car, you know? Who is that person?”
And contrary to the image that she’s always in control of everything, Reese says she’s anything but. “Oh, come on, man! I wouldn’t be able to do what I do if I were [always in control]. I wouldn’t be able to have the empathy or the capacity to understand different lives.”
