<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/reese-witherspoon-has-something-to-say-about-those-kevin-costner-dating-rumors" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Reese Witherspoon</a> hit back at critics who got all worked up about her recipe for a winter treat — which included scooping up fresh snow from outside.
It all started after the 47-year-old actress posted a video that&#8217;s since gone viral on <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@reesewitherspoon/video/7325618152522419499">TikTok</a> about how to make a yummy treat on a cold day she dubbed a &#8220;snow salt chococinno.”
In the clip, the &#8220;Legally Blonde&#8221; star walked outside with two giant mugs — and she scooped up two cups of snow. She then went back inside and added salted caramel and chocolate syrup to the mug, topping off the whole thing with some cold brew. 
&#8220;First we scooped the snow into cups and we added salt,&#8221; Witherspoon said. &#8220;And we added salted caramel syrup and chocolate syrup and then we decide to add some cold brew just to have a yummy coffee flavor.&#8221;
&#8220;Snow days were made for Chococinnos,&#8221; the actress captioned the post.

The video drew a <a href="https://www.etonline.com/reese-witherspoon-responds-to-critics-of-her-snow-recipe-i-just-cant-218364">fierce debate</a> about whether or not it was &#8220;safe&#8221; to eat snow from outside, with <a href="https://parade.com/news/reese-witherspoon-fans-bombard-her-with-safety-concerns-after-eating-treat-made-from-snow">commenters</a> writing things like,&#8221; No no no &#8230; snow is not made to eat &#8230; you can get seriously sick.&#8221;
Another person added, &#8220;I thought eating snow was like dangerous to our health.&#8221;
While a third shared, &#8220;Can you put snow in a clear cup and let it melt. I just want to see if it&#8217;s safe to eat first.&#8221;
&#8220;The Morning Show&#8221; star reacted to the critics and pointed out that she grew up in a time when kids dared to drink unfiltered water.
&#8220;So many people on here saying that snow is dirty,&#8221; Witherspoon replied in a second <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@reesewitherspoon/video/7326185286487215406">clip</a>. &#8220;So we went and took snow from the backyard and microwaved it.&#8221;
She then showed the mug with water that was totally clear and said, &#8220;I didn’t grow up drinking filtered water, we drank out of the tap water. We actually put our mouths on the tap.&#8221;
Witherspoon then laughed and said that for those saying she must first filter the snow, &#8220;I just can&#8217;t.&#8221; She added, &#8220;Filter snow? I don&#8217;t know how to do that,&#8221; and continued giggling.
Other commenters agreed with the movie star and wrote, &#8220;We survived the rusty hose water of the 1990&#8217;s summer &#8230; how bad can snow be?&#8221;
Another added, &#8220;I&#8217;ve had snow ice cream for 34 years and I&#8217;m still living.&#8221;

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/reese-witherspoon-announces-divorce-from-jim-toth-after-12-years-of-marriage" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Reese Witherspoon</a> had something to say about rumors that surfaced earlier this week that she and <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/kevin-costner-talks-leaving-yellowstone-hints-at-possible-court-battle" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kevin Costner</a> have started dating.
The 47-year-old actress broke her silence on Thursday over reports that she and Costner have been talking a whole lot lately and that discussions over a possible project together had turned into something more following both stars&#8217; recent divorces.
&#8220;This story is completely fabricated and not true,&#8221; a representative for the &#8220;Legally Blonde&#8221; star told <a href="https://pagesix.com/2023/11/09/entertainment/reese-witherspoons-rep-responds-to-kevin-costner-dating-rumors/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Page Six</a>.

The rumors started after Australian publication <a href="https://www.newidea.com.au/reese-witherspoon-kevin-costner-relationship" target="_blank" rel="noopener">New Idea</a> reported that an insider said, &#8220;Kevin&#8217;s had his eye on Reese ever since she won her Oscar, but he didn&#8217;t count on finding her absolutely charming as hell.&#8221;
&#8220;They&#8217;ve been calling and texting on the pretense of finding the perfect script, but it&#8217;s becoming almost a daily occurrence,&#8221; the alleged insider added.
&#8220;No-one is surprised that Kevin and Reese have hit it off,&#8221; the alleged source continued. &#8220;They&#8217;re extremely compatible.&#8221;
In March, Witherspoon announced she and ex-husband Jim Toth were separating after 11 years of marriage, just days before their 12th wedding anniversary, the <a href="https://theblast.com/518944/reese-witherspoon-is-officially-divorced-from-jim-toth-after-signing-agreement/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Blast</a> noted.
&#8220;We have some personal news to share… It is with a great deal of care and consideration that we have made the difficult decision to divorce,&#8221; the since-deleted post on Instagram read. &#8220;We have enjoyed so many wonderful years together and are moving forward with deep love, kindness, and mutual respect for everything we have created together.&#8221;

&#8220;Our biggest priority is our son and our entire family as we navigate this next chapter,&#8221; the post added. &#8220;These matters are never easy and are extremely personal. We truly appreciate everyone&#8217;s respect for our family&#8217;s privacy at this time.&#8221;
The &#8220;Sweet Home Alabama&#8221; star and Toth <a href="https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/reese-witherspoon-breaks-her-silence-172402575.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">share</a> a son together. Their divorce was finalized in August. The superstar actress also shares two children from a previous marriage.
In May, reports surfaced that Costner and his then-wife Christine Baumgartner were <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/yellowstone-star-kevin-costners-wife-files-for-divorce-after-18-years-of-marriage" target="_blank" rel="noopener">divorcing</a> after 18 years of marriage.
&#8220;It is with great sadness that circumstances beyond his control have transpired which have resulted in Mr. Costner having to participate in a dissolution of marriage action,&#8221; a representative for the &#8220;Yellowstone&#8221; star said in a <a href="https://www.the-sun.com/entertainment/celebrity/9587053/reese-witherspoon-kevin-costner-dating-rumors/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">statement</a>.
&#8220;We ask that his, Christine&#8217;s, and their children&#8217;s privacy be respected as they navigate this difficult time,&#8221; the statement added.
The pair share three children together. Their divorce was finalized in September.

Actress <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/ashton-kutcher-kept-his-distance-from-reese-witherspoon-to-avoid-affair-rumors-and-sparked-another-rumor-instead" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Reese Witherspoon</a> said in a recent interview that she was forced to film an &#8220;explicit&#8221; sex scene for the 1996 movie &#8220;Fear&#8221; — opposite actor <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/mark-wahlberg-says-once-he-started-putting-my-faith-and-focus-on-god-good-things-happened-to-him" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mark Wahlberg</a> – despite the fact that she initially told the director no.
<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/reese-witherspoon-admits-she-bombed-an-audition-with-de-niro-and-10-years-later-he-still-remembered" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Witherspoon</a> explained in the <a href="https://www.harpersbazaar.com/culture/film-tv/a44450841/reese-witherspoon-interview-2023/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">interview</a> – which was published by Harper&#8217;s Bazaar on Wednesday — that the sex scene had not actually been written into the script, so she believed it was just something the director had decided he wanted to add.
The &#8220;Sweet Home Alabama&#8221; star was just 19 when she made the film — and had requested a stunt double for anything below the waist. But she said things played out a little differently despite her objections.
&#8220;I didn’t have control over it. It wasn’t explicit in the script that that’s what was going to happen, so that was something that I think the director thought of on his own and then asked me on set if I would do it, and I said no,&#8221; she said. &#8220;It wasn’t a particularly great experience.&#8221;
Witherspoon went on to note that she wasn&#8217;t looking to call anyone out over the scene – but rather, explained that it was just one of many experiences that inspired her to pursue her current passion: supporting women and telling their stories.
&#8220;I’m certainly not traumatized or anything by it, but it was formative. It made me understand where my place was in the pecking order of filmmaking,&#8221; she said. &#8220;I think it’s another one of those stories that made me want to be an agent for change and someone who maybe can be in a better leadership position to tell stories from a female perspective instead of from the male gaze.&#8221;
Actress Laura Dern, Witherspoon&#8217;s &#8220;Big Little Lies&#8221; costar, is all in with her vision: &#8220;We’ve both had to fight for our voices and therefore hope to defend others’ voices in workplace environments. She knows how little space there is in a room. She knows that experience. And now that she has that space, she’s lifting up everyone else.&#8221;

&#8220;&#8216;Why are there not more global influences and people who have a different perspective?'&#8221; Witherspoon told the outlet of their discussion. &#8220;Kacey [Musgraves] really illuminated it for me — it&#8217;s been a closed-door business for a long time.&#8221;
&#8220;So this idea [is] to start a country music competition series and make it very international, because the reach of Apple is global,&#8221; she added. &#8220;An important piece of this is highlighting voices that have not been heard.&#8221;
The &#8220;Follow Your Arrow&#8221; hitmaker told the outlet that she&#8217;s &#8220;been so moved and floored by being able to tour in places so far away from my home and see that my stories have connected with people there.&#8221;
&#8220;Being part of this show is another angle of that for me,&#8221; she added. &#8220;It just shows that no matter where you come from, when it&#8217;s brought back to the heart of the matter in the songs, we have the same emotions and the same human connection.&#8221;

Actress <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/reese-witherspoon">Reese Witherspoon</a> just announced that she and her husband of 12 years, Jim Toth, are getting divorced.
The 47-year-old <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/celebrities">mom</a> of three broke the news via her Instagram page on Friday, just days before the couple’s anniversary on Sunday. 
“We have some personal news to share,” the couple’s joint statement <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CqLzAB_vgc-/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;ig_rid=5ba3bc11-75a6-40dd-82ff-a261f772ab58">said</a>. “It is with a great deal of care and consideration that we have made the difficult decision to <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/marriage">divorce</a>. We have enjoyed so many wonderful years together and are moving forward with deep love, kindness and mutual respect for everything we have created together. Our biggest priority is our son and our entire family as we navigate this next chapter.”
“These matters are never easy and are extremely personal. We truly appreciate everyone’s respect for our family’s privacy at this time,” the statement continued.
Toth and Witherspoon have a ten-year-old son, Tennessee. The actress also shares two children, Ava, 23, and Deacon, 19, with ex-husband Ryan Phillippe. 
The couple married in Ojai in 2011, and Witherspoon raved about Toth being “a really good person.”
“He’s an incredible man, a wonderful organizer, a great leader. He knows how to get people together,” Witherspoon <a href="https://people.com/movies/reese-witherspoon-shows-off-her-valentine-husband-jim-toth-in-adorable-instagram-post/">told</a> People of Toth in 2020. “He’s very patient and funny with the kids. And he really encourages them to see the humor in life.”
Witherspoon and her ex Phillippe have applauded themselves on co-parenting since they split in 2008.
<a class="c-link c-link--focus-visible" href="https://onelink.to/dwapp" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-stringify-link="https://onelink.to/dwapp" data-sk="tooltip_parent" aria-describedby="sk-tooltip-38845">CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILY WIRE APP</a>
“We did a good job as co-parents, and I knew that we would even back when we were very young. We met at her 21st birthday party, and then she was with child, but – knowing how volatile Hollywood relationships can be – I knew that even if we didn’t make it, she would be a great person to raise kids with,” Phillippe said during a 2022 <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/film/2022/oct/10/teen-dream-ryan-phillippe-co-parenting-reese-witherspoon-justin-timberlake">interview</a> with The Guardian. 
“I’ve never said a bad word about her or our past, and I never would. I respect and admire her, and we made some pretty great and beautiful kids,” he went on. 
The pair made headlines in 2002 when Phillippe quipped that Witherspoon was more successful than him while they were presenting at the 74th Academy Awards.
“You make more than I do. Go ahead,” the actor said when his then-wife asked if she could read the winner.

Reese Witherspoon Announces Divorce From Jim Toth After 12 Years Of Marriage

Actor <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/that-s-did-not-go-well-ashton-kutcher-reveals-the-reason-he-gave-up-weed/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ashton Kutcher</a> cleared the air Monday on the &#8220;awkward&#8221; photos from his recent press tour with <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/reese-witherspoon-admits-she-bombed-an-audition-with-de-niro-and-10-years-later-he-still-remembered/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Reese Witherspoon</a>, saying that he had kept his distance from her in an effort to avoid rumors of an affair — but had sparked another rumor in the process.
Kutcher was touring with Witherspoon ahead of the release of their new Netflix project, &#8220;Your Place or Mine,&#8221; and he explained during an appearance on the &#8220;Chicks in the Office&#8221; podcast that things got so bad that even his wife — and former &#8220;That 70&#8217;s Show&#8221; co-star — <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/i-am-wearing-childrens-underwear-for-you-mila-kunis-scolds-jimmy-kimmels-audience-for-booing-her/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mila Kunis</a> had texted him and Witherspoon to tell them to get it together.

&#8220;You&#8217;ve been memed!&#8221; one of the hosts explained, saying that people had described the photos as &#8220;awkward&#8221; and &#8220;like a school photo&#8221; — and Kutcher finally interrupted to set the record straight.
&#8220;Ok, hold on. Hold on,&#8221; he said. &#8220;My wife called me — she texted Reese and I together and she&#8217;s like, &#8216;Guys. You gotta, like, you gotta, like, act like you like each other. And I was like, &#8216;What is going on?'&#8221;
The hosts laughed as Kutcher continued, &#8220;Okay, all right, here’s the thing: If I put my arm around her and was, like, all friendly with her, I’d be having an affair with her. The rumor would be that I&#8217;m having an affair with her.&#8221;
What Kutcher soon learned, however, was that the rumor mill was going to mill rumors no matter what he and Witherspoon did: &#8220;If I stand next to her and I put my hands in my pockets, so there’s no chance that, like, that could be the rumor, the rumor is we don’t like each other.&#8221;
The hosts laughed again, agreeing that if they stood too far apart, the rumor would be that the two of them &#8220;hated each other.&#8221;
&#8220;Reese and I are really good friends,&#8221; Kutcher said then, adding, &#8220;We&#8217;re really close, I don&#8217;t have to defend that.&#8221;
Kutcher then defended all actors and the occasional &#8220;awkward&#8221; red carpet photo, saying that in all the chaos — with photographers calling their names from multiple directions at once — it would be impossible for every photo to be perfect.
&#8220;If you&#8217;re going to tell me, in that entire 20-minute period, at one point you&#8217;re not going to have an awkward face on? Then you&#8217;re better than I am, and I&#8217;m cool with that,&#8221; he said.

Ashton Kutcher Kept His Distance From Reese Witherspoon To Avoid Affair Rumors

Actress <a href="http://www.dailywire.com/topic/reese-witherspoon/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Reese Witherspoon</a> revealed during a recent interview that she had once &#8220;bricked&#8221; an audition with Academy Award winner <a href="http://www.dailywire.com/topic/robert-de-niro/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Robert De Niro</a> — and to make matters worse, when he saw her again a decade later, he remembered it.
Witherspoon joined the Thursday evening broadcast of &#8220;Jimmy Kimmel Live!&#8221; and she explained to the host that it was one of the first auditions she had ever done as a teenager — for a movie called &#8220;Cape Fear&#8221; with <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/real-life-grinch-tries-to-steal-all-the-presents-from-under-robert-de-niros-tree/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">De Niro</a> and director Martin Scorcese.

The &#8220;Sweet Home Alabama&#8221; star explained that 1991 she had been just 14 years old — and prior to the audition, she hadn&#8217;t really known who De Niro was. When a helpful receptionist clued her in on just how big the &#8220;Goodfellas&#8221; star really was, Witherspoon said she got so nervous that she totally blew it.
&#8220;One of the very first auditions I ever had was with Robert De Niro and Martin Scorsese for a movie called &#8216;Cape Fear.&#8217; I didn&#8217;t get it. I&#8217;m not in that movie because I got so scared when I walked in the room,&#8221; she said, adding, &#8220;I didn&#8217;t know who Robert De Niro was, so I was standing outside talking to the receptionist. She was like, &#8216;You know he&#8217;s the most important actor of our time, right?'&#8221;
&#8220;I was 14. I&#8217;d never seen &#8216;Goodfellas.&#8217; I&#8217;d never seen &#8216;The Godfather.&#8217; So it totally got on my nerves,&#8221; she continued.Witherspoon went on to divulge that the audition — while she was reading opposite De Niro — got so bad that she got stuck on one word, struggling to the point that De Niro just jumped in and said it for her. 
But that was only the beginning of Witherspoon&#8217;s story — she said that she went to audition for De Niro again about a decade later, and despite her hopes that he might have forgotten about the last time, he had not.
&#8220;I thought, &#8216;He&#8217;s never gonna remember that I bricked that audition,'&#8221; Witherspoon said.
&#8220;And he was like, &#8216;I remember you.&#8217; I was like, &#8216;Me?&#8217; He&#8217;s like, &#8216;Oh yeah. You&#8217;re the one who couldn&#8217;t say the word.'&#8221;
&#8220;I was like, &#8216;Oh, my God! This is so bad!'&#8221; she exclaimed.

Reese Witherspoon Admits She Bombed An Audition With De Niro — And 10 Years Later, He Still Remembered

An elite school for girls in grades 5-12 in Nashville, Tennessee, founded in 1865, has revealed it will accept biological males as part of its “expanded” approach to the &#8220;concept of gender.&#8221;
Harpeth Hall, whose alumnae <a href="https://www.outkick.com/elite-nashville-all-girls-school-will-now-admit-biological-males-who-identify-as-female/">include</a> actresses Reese Witherspoon, Minnie Pearl, and singer Amy Grant,  <a href="https://www.nashvillescene.com/news/citylimits/harpeth-hall-confronts-gender-diversity/article_a05b20c4-17fa-11ed-afa4-2704a476985d.html">eliminated</a> the school’s yearly George Washington Day in 2020. Its latest efforts into political correctness featured a <a href="https://resources.finalsite.net/images/v1659986590/harpeth/gdt2uyagjhqpoce9eaaf/SchoolUpdate.pdf">message</a> to parents outlining the new guidelines.
“As the world evolves, so do our students,” the school wrote. “The concept of gender has expanded and deepened over time. The members of our school community have asked good and important questions about gender inclusion and have looked for greater clarity on the school’s practices.”
The school was apparently referencing a<a href="https://www.nashvillescene.com/news/citylimits/harpeth-hall-confronts-gender-diversity/article_a05b20c4-17fa-11ed-afa4-2704a476985d.html"> student newspaper op-ed</a> in March 2021 that complained, &#8220;While the school claims to support trans students, this support needs to be formalized. Additionally, practices must be implemented to ensure the inclusion of trans students because the assumption that all students at Harpeth Hall are cisgender and female does not accurately depict the student body and ostracizes trans students.&#8221;
“With this objective in mind, we have adopted the following guidelines that outline how Harpeth Hall approaches gender diversity within the context of our girls school mission,” the school’s message to the parents continued.
Then it stated:
<blockquote>Any student who identifies as a girl may apply to our school&#8230;. Harpeth Hall acknowledges the developmental journey of each student and recognizes that adolescence includes natural searching and questioning about many topics. For some students, this may include the question of gender identity and the desire to identify as nonbinary or use they/them pronouns. 
Harpeth Hall approaches gender identity with understanding and open communication, rather than with shame or othering, and will provide a safe environment to partner with each student and family to consider the needs and requests of the student on an individual basis.</blockquote>
In an ironic twist, the school then wrote, “If a student communicates a desire to be identified as male or adopt he/him pronouns, we recognize that our school, being a girls school, may no longer be a place that serves that student well.”
Jessica Bliss, director of marketing and communications for the school, responded to the reaction to the school’s message.
“We are and always have been an all-girls independent school,&#8221; she <a href="https://www.tennessean.com/story/news/education/2022/08/10/harpeth-hall-allow-anyone-identifying-female-apply/10289169002/">said</a>. &#8220;There has been no change to Harpeth Hall&#8217;s admission application process which is open to any female student.&#8221;
She added, “Each girl is unique in her own way.”

Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillippe’s daughter Ava has apparently embraced left-wing gender theory, which is not too shocking for a young adult growing up in the Hollywood lifestyle. Ava Phillippe, 22, made the comments during a fan Q&amp;A on her Instagram page, the Daily Mail <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-10389613/Reese-Witherspoons-daughter-Ava-Phillippe-22-says-gender-whatever.html?ito=social-twitter_dailymailceleb">reported</a>.
A fan apparently asked her, “Do you like boys or girls,” to which Ava responded, “I&#8217;m attracted to… people! (Gender is whatever).” Ava has been in a relationship with Owen Mahoney, a fellow University of California Berkeley student.
Ava is the eldest daughter of Witherspoon and Phillippe, who also share 18-year-old son Deacon together. Witherspoon also has a 9-year-old son, Tennessee, with her current husband Jim Toth.  
Witherspoon recently shared some of the challenges she faced parenting children as a famous actress. She spoke about how different her own childhood was during a conversation with <a href="https://www.instyle.com/celebrity/reese-witherspoon/december-2021-cover">InStyle</a>.
&#8220;It&#8217;s an odd situation because I didn&#8217;t grow up famous. So [Ava is] living an experience that I did not have, and so are my sons,&#8221; the “Big Little Lies” star said. &#8220;We are lucky enough to have friends who grew up in Hollywood and can help give them advice on how to navigate.&#8221;
She continued, discussing how she’s letting her daughter experience her own life journey.
&#8220;Ava is so down-to-earth. She wants to do great things in the world,&#8221; Witherspoon told InStyle. &#8220;She&#8217;s studying and learning and trying to find herself. It&#8217;s a big thing in life to try different things and figure out what is really your path.&#8221;
And while Ava is growing up in the internet age with access to all kinds of information, Witherspoon previously shared how her own background was a lot more sheltered. The A-lister admitted during an interview with “Legally Blonde” co-star Regina King last year that she “didn’t understand what homosexuality was” until moving to Los Angeles when she was just beginning her career as an actress, <a href="https://pagesix.com/2020/06/25/reese-witherspoon-didnt-know-about-gay-people-until-moving-to-l-a/">according to</a> Page Six.
“No one spoke to me about sexuality when I was a teenager,” Witherspoon told King. “I didn&#8217;t understand what homosexuality was. My grandparents didn&#8217;t explain it, my parents didn&#8217;t explain it. I had to learn from somebody I met on an audition in Los Angeles.”
The Academy Award winner was born in New Orleans and raised in Nashville. She now co-owns a media company and clothing line. 
During a 2006 appearance on The Chelsea Handler Show, Witherspoon reflected on her upbringing with a bit of criticism.
“I grew up, obviously, in the South and there is amazing, wonderful connectivity and people are loving and communitive,” the actress said. “But there is a tiny aspect of it, people [that] use parts of the Bible in order to express their intolerance and their hate and they manipulate it.”
She also incorporated a real-life conversation she had with her grandmother about homosexuality into the TV series “Little Fires Everywhere.”
“She said: ‘Homosexuality is very rare, Reese. That’s not a thing that happens very often.’ And we put it in the script,” Witherspoon told Variety.

‘Gender Is Whatever’ Says Reese Witherspoon’s Daughter Ava Phillippe On Her Sexual Attraction

Up until now, Reese Witherspoon has remained a fairly uncontroversial, generally well-liked A-lister by just about everyone. But the “Legally Blonde” star has been getting a little political, like when she <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/did-legally-blonde-here-not-at-all-watch-the-trial-before-ranting-about-it-reese-witherspoon-blasted-after-trashing-rittenhouse-verdict">trashed the verdict</a> in the Kyle Rittenhouse trial publicly. And now, her tweets are drawing ire for being downright weird.
The actress started trending on Twitter thanks to some surprising things she was saying. Witherspoon’s almost 3 million followers couldn’t help but react to her out-of-the-blue statement which <a href="https://twitter.com/ReeseW/status/1480953798013054976">read</a>, “In the (near) future, every person will have a parallel digital identity. Avatars, crypto wallets, digital goods will be the norm. Are you planning for this?”
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Hilariously, the national cheese brand Velveeta had a one-word response that seemed to sum up everyone’s reaction. They simply said, “REESE.” 
Another follower responded by saying, “This is more embarrassing for you than doing late night infomercials.”
Someone else said, “Blink twice if Mark Zuckerberg is holding you hostage.”
Though the “Cruel Intentions” star didn’t clarify her original comment, it does seem connected to Zuckerberg’s push to make the metaverse a mainstream concept. 
After renaming the company Meta in 2021, it <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/facebook-changes-company-name-to-meta-will-focus-on-bringing-the-metaverse-to-life">shared a brief synopsis</a> of goals in a blog post. “Meta’s focus will be to bring the metaverse to life and help people connect, find communities and grow businesses,” the post read.
“The metaverse will feel like a hybrid of today’s online social experiences, sometimes expanded into three dimensions or projected into the physical world. It will let you share immersive experiences with other people even when you can’t be together — and do things together you couldn’t do in the physical world.”
It continued, saying, “It’s the next evolution in a long line of social technologies, and it’s ushering in a new chapter for our company.”
But Reese’s apparent buy-in to Zuckerberg’s new world wasn’t her only controversial social media post of the week. The A-lister also got a lot of blowback after sharing her typical normal routine on Instagram, which many fans saw as unrealistic.
Witherspoon <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CYj1esyIAt-/">wrote</a>: “Let’s talk about habits! Are there any that have improved your daily life? Here are some I’m working towards: 
<ol>
<li> Start the day with a glass of water. </li>
<li> Get 10 mins of outdoor light. @hubermanlab recommends morning light.</li>
<li> Spend 30-60 mins reading daily without distraction.”</li>
</ol>
The comments section was flooded with reactions both supporting and questioning the possibility of this type of routine. But by far the best comment of all came courtesy of celebrity chef and Food Network star Ina Garten, who countered with a daily routine suggestion of her own. 
“To quote @reesewitherspoon &#8211; that sounds great but I’m probably not doing any of those things! LOL!! My formula is easier to follow: 1. Drink more large cosmos 2. Stay up late watching addictive streaming series, 3. Stay in bed in the morning playing Sudoku instead of reading a good book. 4. Spend more time (safely) with people you love. In a pandemic, I do what I can! ❤️❤️❤️”
Garten went viral in 2020 after sharing a recipe for her favorite giant cocktail and captioning the <a href="https://www.instagram.com/tv/B-cJUwUpxbM/">video</a>, “It’s always cocktail hour in a crisis!”

On Saturday, Oscar-winning actress Reese Witherspoon offered her sage opinion of the not guilty verdict in the trial of Kyle Rittenhouse, tweeting, “Woke up this morning thinking about every mother/father/sister/brother/friend who has lost someone to senseless gun violence in America. And then ..there was no justice for their pain. This is a disgrace.”

As opposed to her public comments regarding Rittenhouse, Witherspoon was notably <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/hollywood-feminists-silent-on-revelations-that-times-up-helped-cuomo-undermine-accuser/">quite quiet</a> after New York Attorney General Letitia James’ bombshell revelation last August that two Time’s Up leaders had consulted with former New York Cuomo on a letter undermining Lindsey Boylan’s claims that he touched her inappropriately and tried to kiss her.
Witherspoon had heavily promoted Time Up, telling <a href="https://www.marieclaire.co.uk/entertainment/reese-witherspoon-times-up-marie-claire-583087">Marie Claire</a> magazine in 2018, “I’ve been working very hard on the initiative Time’s Up with more than 400 women in my industry. We are raising money for women in a variety of workplaces to have better resources for on-the-job-harassment lawsuits. We are trying to level the playing field for all women and men who have suffered from discrimination, harassment and abuse.”
But in the immediate days after James issued her pronouncement, Witherspoon said nothing publicly about the revelation.
In 2013, Witherspoon was arrested for disorderly conduct after her husband was stopped on suspicion of drunk driving. According to the Georgia Police incident report, Witherspoon said, “Do you know my name? You’re about to find out who I am…you’re about to be on national news,” the <a href="https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/films/news/don-t-you-know-who-i-am-reese-witherspoon-arrested-disorderly-conduct-8582418.html">Independent</a> reported.
Witherspoon later released a statement apologizing, saying, “I clearly had one drink too many and I am deeply embarrassed about the things I said.”

‘Did Legally Blonde Here Not At All Watch The Trial Before Ranting About It?’: Reese Witherspoon Blasted After Trashing Rittenhouse Verdict

Kyle Rittenhouse

America’s sweetheart, Reese Witherspoon, isn’t known for controversies, so it was surprising to learn that she and her clothing company, Draper James, are being sued for misleading our nation’s teachers.
In April, the 44-year-old “Little Fires Everywhere” actress announced she was offering a free dress for teachers around the country struggling during the coronavirus pandemic, Fox News <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/reese-witherspoon-clothing-company-sued-teachers-dress-giveaway-coronavirus">reported</a>. Witherspoon quickly found herself on the receiving end of a backlash when teachers realized she was only giving away a very limited number of dresses.
Now she’s being hit with a class-action lawsuit from three women who claim she benefited from the giveaway even though teachers did not, TMZ <a href="https://www.tmz.com/2020/06/08/reese-witherspoon-sued-draper-james-dress-giveaway-teachers/">reported</a>.
The clothing company made their offer on Instagram, writing “Dear Teachers: We want to say thank you. During quarantine we see you working harder than ever to educate our children. To show our gratitude, Draper James would like to give teachers a free dress.&#8221;
“To apply, complete the form at the link in bio before this Sunday, April 5th, 11:59 PM ET. (Offer valid while supplies last &#8211; winners will be notified on Tuesday, April 7th,)” the post continued.
The offer clearly stated that it was only valid “while supplies last,” but the lawsuit states that it wasn’t clear there were only 250 dresses available in the giveaway. Meanwhile, teachers were required to provide personal information to enter the giveaway, including their education employment ID info.
“The women suing point out that the total cost of the 250 dresses to be given away would only come out to an ‘estimated paltry $12,500 in actual cost’ to Reese and her company &#8230; ‘at a time when other individuals of [Reese] Witherspoon&#8217;s renown were offering millions of dollars to COVID-19 victims,’&#8221; TMZ reported.
The lawsuit also alleged that Witherspoon benefitted from increased publicity due to the miniscule giveaway with mentions on “Today” and “Good Morning America.”
Theane Evangelis, attorney for Draper James, told TMZ that the lawsuit was frivolous.
&#8220;Draper James looks forward to defending this case, to continuing its efforts to acknowledge the extraordinary contributions made by teachers during this time of need, and to being vindicated in court,&#8221; she continued.
Marissa Cooley, Draper James’ senior vice president for marketing and creative departments, previously <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/15/fashion/reese-witherspoon-draper-james-coronavirus.html">discussed</a> the shortage of dresses with The New York Times.
&#8220;We felt like we moved too quickly and didn&#8217;t anticipate the volume of the response. We were really overwhelmed. It was way more volume than the company had ever seen. We expected the single-digit thousands,&#8221; she told the outlet.
The Times also reported that the application form “crashed” almost immediately and that nearly 1 million applications were received, meaning teachers had a tiny chance of actually receiving a dress.
