 Re: Reese Witherspoon gets arrested, is awful to police torrino wrote: The apology was kinda insulting. She was 'frightened' for her husband??? How about for the police and pedestrians that were at risk because of his drunk driving? She's a mother of three -- and she's entirely missing the point.
Psychologically, I just don't understand how someone gets bitchy in that situation, alcohol or no alcohol. Also feels silly that we 'found' Mel Gibson's true colors when he was under the influence, but Reese gets a buy because she had 'one too many drinks.'
I can see alcohol making someone belligerent...but it doesn't just turn someone into a prick. Just makes that more obvious.
And I say this as someone who drinks frequently. Honestly? You don't understand how someone could be in a mindset after consuming alcohol that allows them to say or do things they wouldn't normally say or do sober? Also, I'm not making excuses for either one of them for drinking and driving. That's cut and dry.

Re: Reese Witherspoon gets arrested, is awful to police I also can't believe you're still comparing someone to being bitchy and indignant to someone making anti-Semitic remarks. They're two entirely different things.

Re: Reese Witherspoon gets arrested, is awful to police Yeah, Mel Gibson is the devil and Witherspoon was just a bit drunk.

Re: Reese Witherspoon gets arrested, is awful to police Mel's behavior was at least interesting in a scorched-earth type way. She just sounds bitchily petulant.

Re: Reese Witherspoon gets arrested, is awful to police Obviously torrino has some problem with Reese before this.
Because you're acting insane. Are you drunk?

Re: Reese Witherspoon gets arrested, is awful to police There has to be something else. Because you're getting really upset about such a small thing.
Issues with past people being drunk?

Re: Reese Witherspoon gets arrested, is awful to police I wouldn't say torrino is getting "upset". That's an exaggeration.

RE: your other post -- I think being confronted by police late at night is a sobering experience. Unless you're so far gone. I'm not saying that either. I think it's a fairly common assumption that Reese is, in some way or another, a bitchy person. She kind of looks it anyway. Maybe that's just me. I still like her though. As far as a sobering experience, I think she was also equally pissed off that it even happened, knowing who she is and knowing this would at least tarnish her public image, so she acted out instead of remaining calm. No excuses. Just theories. About rich people who will remain rich, in part, because people like us love talking about them.

Re: Reese Witherspoon gets arrested, is awful to police If she remained calm, with her only being the passenger, her image would not have been affected in the slightest. Plus, she's not even in the public eye anymore.

Re: Reese Witherspoon gets arrested, is awful to police I can see how you all expect a drunk person to act like a normal, calm person.
Because that happens ALL the time.

Re: Reese Witherspoon gets arrested, is awful to police It does, actually.
It's just that news stories aren't made about the calm drunken celebs.

Re: Reese Witherspoon gets arrested, is awful to police I'm not talking about celebs. I'm talking about all people.
I hang out with a lot of drunk people. And a lot of the time, they can be annoying.

Re: Reese Witherspoon gets arrested, is awful to police Most certainly, all drunk people are annoying, but I've been drunk many times myself and still had the wherewithal to remain calm and not act like a total twat just because I have an excuse to do so.

Re: Reese Witherspoon gets arrested, is awful to police As have many others. Doesn't mean that's always the case. And nobody is using it as an excuse.

Re: Reese Witherspoon gets arrested, is awful to police This is no big deal, she could have been a lot worse. I am sure every celebrity who gets arrested drops something to the effect of this.
Hell, I usually say it when I am getting a DUI (which is never), and I am not famous at all...

So because he was entertaining it's ok? Don't think so. He was worse than Reese. Libs wrote: If Mel Gibson is God (o rly?) then consider me an atheist. Ditto. Of course you can consider me one anyway.  Algren wrote: Libs wrote: If Mel Gibson is God (o rly?) then consider me an atheist. No, I consider you a sheep.  Baaaah motherfucker  .
