16 After dating Jake Gyllenhaal, Witherspoon fulfilled her present partner, CAA talent scout Jim Toth, at a celebration in early 2010 where he concerned her rescue. “This really drunk guy was hitting on me, making such an idiot of himself, yelling at me,” she informed Elle in2012 “He resembled, [slurring, scowling, pointing finger in her face] ‘You do not understand me.’ And I resembled, ‘Yeah, I understand. I do not understand you!’ Jim came by and stated, ‘Please reason my good friend. He’s simply broken up with somebody.’ Jim was a truly buddy, pulling him out of that circumstance. That’s simply sort of who he is, a truly great individual.” They got married at her cattle ranch in Ojai, Calif., in March 2011 and invited their child, Tennessee in September 2012.
17 In 2013, Witherspoon and Toth were pulled over by Atlanta PD as Toth was weaving in and out of lanes. As officers were detaining her partner for DUI, she apparently ended up being irritated and began breaking down, allegedly asking the officers, “Do you know my name?” When they responded they didn’t require to, she apparently reacted with, “You’re about to find out who I am.” She was detained for disorderly conduct, later on pleading no contest to blockage.
“Out of respect for the ongoing legal situation, I cannot comment on everything that is being reported right now. But I do want to say I clearly had one drink too many and I am deeply embarrassed about the things I said,” she stated in a declaration. “It was definitely a scary situation and I was frightened for my husband, but that was no excuse. I was disrespectful to the officer who was just doing his job. The words I used that night definitely do not reflect who I am. I have nothing but respect for the police and I am very sorry for my behavior.”
