Reese Witherspoon recently shared her regrets about living in Los Angeles after her divorce. The Hollywood star revealed that the relentless attention from paparazzi made life “terrifying” for her and her children.
Constant Paparazzi Pressure
Witherspoon described the early 2000s as a period when photographers followed her “everywhere.” She compared their pursuit to “a police chase,” especially after her separation from Ryan Phillippe. This constant media spotlight put her family under immense stress and scrutiny.
