Reese Witherspoon can’t seem to catch a break. Last week she took flak for sporting a knockoff City of Atlanta Police insignia hat, and now she has been verbally attacked by her bigamist father’s illegal wife.
Reese’s gold digging “stepmother” Tricianne Taylor is trying to paint a negative picture of the actress and is willing to spill what she claims to know for a $100,000 payday.
She had this to say about Witherspoon’s recent arrest, “Based on Reese’s behavior in those police videos following her recent arrest, I believe she has a serious drinking problem and needs to get professional help.”
Taylor wed John Witherspoon in 2012 and she claims his actress daughter is “not the sweet, innocent girl next door that her fans think she is.”
She cited Reese’s 2011 wedding to Jim Toth as a prime example, “She was so awful and disrespectful to her father. Reese shows very little respect to her father, and he’s been ostracized by her because she’s so angry that he married me.”
The crux of the tension that day was the fact the John Witherspoon showed up with his then girlfriend Tricianne Taylor, who was refused entry at Reese’s wedding because she wasn’t on the guest list.
Things really got complicated in April 2012 when a notice appeared in the Tennessean newspaper announcing John Witherspoon’s wedding to Taylor–despite the fact that he was still legally married to Reese’s mother, Betty Witherspoon.
Betty filed a bigamy lawsuit against her estranged husband and took out a restrainer order against his “other” wife. In an interesting twist, John told Betty that he didn’t remember the bride or the wedding and that he was pretty sure he was suffering from the early onset of dementia.
The lawsuit contained allegations that John Witherspoon has a drinking problem, is a hoarder and has difficulty handling money in addition to memory loss.
