Reese Witherspoon Arrest VIDEO Causes Stepmother Diss? Says Actress Needs 'Professional Help'
Reese Witherspoon's stepmother blasted the star as a diva whose true colors were shown during her April arrest.
Tricianne Taylor has never met Witherspoon despite marrying the actress' father John. However, she still wants a $100K payoff to tell what she does know about the Legally Blonde star.
Taylor shared her impressions of Witherspoon with the National Enquirer, saying that Witherspoon is "not the sweet, innocent girl next door that her fans think she is."
Taylor said Witherspoon did not even show her true nature to her father John, adding that the actress had such a disregard for her father that John almost did not walk his daughter down the aisle when she married Jim Toth in 2011.
Taylor said Witherspoon's disapproval of her was the reason for the conflict.
"Reese shows very little respect to her father, and he's been ostracized by her because she's so angry that he married me," Taylor said.
Taylor married Witherspoon's father amid controversy in 2011. An announcement was made in a Tennessee paper that John wed Taylor in March of that year. However, Witherspoon's mother, Mary "Betty" Elizabeth, filed a lawsuit alleging bigamy. She denied seeking a divorce and that her husband was suffering from early onset of dementia.
"When I confronted my husband, he said he didn't know who Tricianne Taylor was and that he did not remember getting married," the affidavit said.
As a result, Taylor was not allowed to be a part of Witherspoon's wedding to Toth in her Ojai home in April 2011.
"The security officers at the wedding refused to let her in because she was not on the guest list," the court papers stated.
Her parents' marital strife has reportedly led to stress in Witherspoon's life. It is the reason being given as to why she has turned to alcohol as a coping mechanism on April 19, the day she and Toth when out drinking and then were arrested arrest. He pled guilty to driving under the influence and she entered a plea of no contest for disorderly conduct.
"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 said.
