In an interview with Time Magazine, Reese Witherspoon reflected on the dissimilar treatment women celebrities receive compared to one another, and the impact that can have on their careers and personal lives 
In the interview, Witherspoon appears to acknowledge that certain stars, like herself and Jennifer Garner, have benefited from positive coverage for seemingly fulfilling 'good' archetypes.
Meanwhile, others who were seen as 'bad,' such as Lindsay Lohan, Paris Hilton, or Britney Spears, received far more negative or sensationalist press.
'What if the media had decided I was something else?' Witherspoon is quoted as asking.
'What if the media had decided I was something else?' Witherspoon is quoted as asking.
'I would be in a totally different position. I want to say it’s my decisions or the career choices I made, but it felt very arbitrary. And kind of sh*tty.'
The parallels between Witherspoon and Spears — both went through a divorce and raised two children — are striking given the disparate ways each was covered in the media.
Witherspoon was speaking to Time because her media company, Hello Sunshine, was just named one of Time's Top 100 Most Influential Companies for 2021.
