Reese Witherspoon speaks frankly about the difficulties she encountered after her divorce by Ryan Phillippe, in particular with regard to the impact of Paparazzi on her children, Ava and Deacon.
In a recent interview with The New York TimesWitherspoon shared her regret to Los Angeles at the time, with reference to the ruthless striving for photographers as an important factor.
Witherspoon remembered a moving incident in which Paparazzi pursued her car with her children and compared it with “a police pursuit of the highways.”
“They would be everywhere,” she said. “Everywhere in the schools and everywhere in the cars. I remember once in the church in LA, a man who jumped on the hood of the car and on each side, three people pushing against the window that hit the door when my children were small after I got a divorce and haunted us … It was frightening.”
The Back home Star expressed concern about the fear and stress caused by the constant presence of the paparazzi in the lives of her children. “My children had really bad fear. And it was all external,” she shared.
“You can only protect them from so much, but when [paparazzi] Can go to the playgrounds and are in the schoolyard, it feels like the world is chaos and there are no rules. They would shout things to the children about their father or me who were inappropriate. “
The Your place or mine Star now wants her family to have moved in that period, and acknowledged that the behavior of the paparazzi was overwhelming. “It was really difficult for my children. Fear -producing,” she said.
“I really regret that I lived in LA at the time. I know it feels like they just take pictures, but it would be like 25 people on the side of the football field who photograph me and Ryan to see if we could handle each other or we can’t get along. And there is a little boy and a little girl there.”
