Reese Witherspoon's Amazing Arrest Video Emerges
We all know that the sweetest-of-the-sweetest Southern-American-girl-from-next-door-girl got arrested last week.No I am not talking about Lindsay Lohan (although who knows) I am talking about Reese Witherspoon. The tape has emerged of her, er, conversing with, the police officer. I'll let you watch it below and then we can talk some more.
(cutest mugshot ever!)

OK first up - her new husband seems like a real keeper. During her whole rant he never once tried to help her, and at the end, he said "I had nothing to do with that" to the police officer. Nice.Secondly she never said "DON'T YOU KNOW WHO I AM" like everyone all over the interwebs said she did. She said "don't you know my name?" OK still a little bit snooty - but no where NEAR as bad as yelling "DON'T YOU KNOW WHO I AM". That second sentence just seems a little more entitled.I am not saying what she did wasn't wrong, but I have seen a heap of her films, and when she acts drunk she sounds waaaaay different to that. Based on that evidence, I am going to say she wasn't drunk on the night in question.Anyway, the point of this post is to get your reactions. Everyone saw the print versions of what happened. I personally think the tape shows things a little bit differently (how is her not obeying a police officer anti-american, that sentence right there freaks me out more than anything. Obey the law or you are not America, therefor you are what, a terrorist?) and maybe not quite as bad as the worded versions made it all seem. At the end of the day, it's just a woman and her husband who had one too many and drove home and were rather dicky to the police (which is a no-no). But it isn't the threat of nuclear war (hi North Korea, that was directed at you).So please, watch the clip - I have seen it all over news websites and social media platforms today so it's clearly popular. Do you think the internet and social platforms have spun this into a bigger story? I would love to know your thoughts.
