The Reese Witherspoon arrest video is better than I could have ever hoped

"I am an American citizen. I'm allowed to stand on American ground.”

This SH*T should be eligible for the Oscars.

That's her husband standing right there, right? You can see the second-hand embarrassment collapsing over him.

I like when her husband says, "I have nothing to do with that."

I think she does know. I believe her when she says it was poor judgment and that she and her husband are sorry about it. I've done stupid things in my life. We live and learn. No, being a celebrity does not in any way excuse bad behavior. But then it doesn't make it worse than anyone else doing it either.
Witherspoon on her arrest: I panicked

She seems more panicked that pissed. And she doesn't seem that drunk.

I'm with the ones who see this as a tempest in a teapot. Some people appear to hold their liquor better than others. Just because she wasn't falling down, sloppy drunk doesn't mean her judgement wasn't impaired. She had one or a few too many, freaked out and mouthed off to an officer. She was stupid but not horrible. She didn't take a swing at him, spit at him, swear at him (she even called him "sir") or resist arrest.

I also don't have a problem with her husband saying, "I'm sorry - I have nothing to do with that.". He was in enough trouble as it was. Was he supposed to back up her unreasonable, entitled behavior?

It was an unfortunate incident. Fortunately, no one was harmed. She has admitted to poor judgement and tendered what seems to be a sincere apology (though I do hope she has apologized to the officer personally).

I am not a fan of hers, but I see no reason to make this a bigger deal than it was.

I have been telling people that Reese had a reputation for being a piece of work since high school. No one believed me. lol

Did anyone else notice how she starts to make fun of the police officer's accent?

She wasn't using it up until about 1:06 when she says "Yes, Sir I DO" and she gets all twangy in response to his question. She was clearly being a bitch with that.

I don't know. I have always liked her. I don't think she does anything that bad in the video. I kind of like her more now.

""Did anyone else notice how she starts to make fun of the police officer's accent?""

you do realize that she was born and raised in The South right?
