Reese Witherspoon decided to take the reins of the truth from her and speak in the first person about what she was experiencing.
Reese Witherspoon, one of the biggest actresses of recent decades, is in the process of divorcing her second husband, Jim Toth, whom she married in March 2011 and has a child together.
This is the second time that the renowned Hollywood star has gone through this process, and since in recent years she has shown herself to be a woman who takes control of her life, she wanted to avoid the same thing that happened when she separated from Ryan Phillippe from happening. For this reason, she decided to go out of her way to talk about how she feels in this difficult moment before the press does it for her without real arguments.
Through Harper's Bazaar and posting a very brave profile, Reese Witherspoon revealed how she is going through this difficult process, after more than twelve years of marriage and opened her heart to speak with complete honesty about what it means to her and others in the same position.
"It's interesting what happened to me. The first time I got divorced, the tabloid media was dedicated to telling people how I felt or how I was handling it and I felt like it was totally out of my control," the actress began. from Legally Blonde.
"Being able to talk directly with people about what happens to me in life and share it in the same way that I do with great professional or personal experiences... I find it much more authentic to be able to say things with my own voice and not let another person has control over what's going on. Of course, there's always speculation, but I can't control it. All I can do is be as honest and frank as I am and be vulnerable. It's a vulnerable time for me," she added.
"I think about how many people are going through this experience. I don't feel isolated at all. I feel very connected to them," she expressed about what the divorce process means for many other women.
"I think you start to realize that you have a limited amount of time to do what you want to do in this world and worrying about other people's opinion of you is a waste of your valuable time. It's a liberation to feel free from other people's opinions after 40. Let's see, they're always there. You just don't care about them as much anymore, and it's a great feeling," said Reese Witherspoon, taking control of her own truth.
