What Did Reese Say about Her Divorce?
In a recent interview, Witherspoon opened up about her feelings regarding her divorce. She compared her experience to her previous divorce, highlighting that previously, the media told the people about her feelings, which meant things weren't in her control.
However, this time, she felt her experience was better because she talked to people directly through her Instagram account about her feelings regarding the life-changing decision. She said:
"…it feels much more authentic to be able to say things in my own voice and not let somebody else control what’s happening."

Sharing the news of her divorce publicly made the actress wonder how many other people would be experiencing the same. "I don't feel isolated at all. I feel very connected," she said.
