Reese on young motherhood

Reese Witherspoon (to Elle magazine) on being a young mother: “When I first had Ava, I couldn’t afford help. And it was so hard. I was out in Los Angeles, living away from my family. I really didn’t have any friends. And I had a baby. No one else who was 22 had a baby. I couldn’t go out.”

Okay, I can't hate on Reese, but, that's not exactly true. Come on! I remember when she was pregnant and she was making the talk show circuit, shilling a movie, in designer duds. I guess you have to tell these magazine fuckers something, all I'm saying is, that's just not quite right. It's not like she came from poverty either, if you read up on her, you'll know what I'm sayin'. It's just more celebrity bullshit. She makes it sound like the food stamps were lost in the mail and the trailer house leaked. I think she got herself confused with Loretta for a second there.

you are so right, DD. This is wrong on several levels. Are we (the public) going to "like" her better because she suffered from lack of money? She never has lacked it - and so what? Hell, I wish I did. But lying is lying, period. She just dropped way down on my list.

Eh, don't hold it against her. Those magazines force you to say something. It's well known that you won't be on the cover of Vanity Fair unless you spill some beans.

It is all relative, isn't it? Yeah, Reese had it rough and so did Katie Irene.

I cried because I had no shoes until I met a man who had no feet. (my paraphasing).

I don't think she's lying. I think she really believes she had it very tough.

"She" doesn't believe anything. Her publicist said it, not her.

Liar, Liar, pants on fire... Laura Jean Reese Witherspoon.

Your firstborn, Ava, was born the same year you won rave reviews for your work in the film "Cruel Intentions" your 12th! notable film role.

Tsk. Tsk.

I don't think she's lying... She only became a bankable start with cruel intentions. Naturally designers hand out their stuff for promotion appearances, but being able to afford a full time nanny is quite a different thing.
She might not have been able to hire somebody before her next movie.

22 isn't that young to have a kid anyway - it isn't like she was 16 and still struggling to finish high school & on welfare, fer chrissakes!

I had my son right after I turned 18 and you NEVER hear me whine about it. Whatevs.

WTF did she do to her face? That can't be just photoshop. She looks... different...

She's so full of shit. One of her parents is a doctor. This little gnome was in several successful movies, before she deliberately got herself pregnant, because it was the only way she could get a guy like Phillipe to marry her ugly ass.
