GMA: Reese Witherspoon Speaks Out About Arrest
Two weeks ago, Academy Award winner Reese Witherspoon was enjoying a night out with her husband in Atlanta. They had a few glasses of wine and decided to drive home. While they thought they were fine to drive, Reese said that they absolutely were not.
The couple was stopped and arrested for driving while intoxicated. Reese was also arrested for disorderly conduct. She said there is no excise for what they did and expressed her deepest apologies. She said they used poor judgement and should have called a car service.
