Reese Witherspoon has long been Americas sweetheart.

FromLegally BlondetoSweet Home Alabama, Witherspoon has been expected to be likable at every turn.

So its no wonder that Witherspoon has chafed under the likability clause she entered into this business with.

I hear that all the time.

As I was coming up in my career: We dont want to see Reese curse.

Shes likable, so she would never have sex with a married man.

In the course of storytelling, it always cuts your character down to nothing.

It was really interesting how well received it was and how well it did.

I looked and was like, Are any of the top-10 movies starring women?

This year we have two, which is better but not great.

Despite the challenges, Witherspoon said shes excited about speaking out about these subjects.

We have real lives that have nothing to do with our romantic entanglements or dilemmas.
