I think we all know by now that Reese Witherspoon and police don’t really mix. When last the twain met, Reese went away in handcuffs, drunk and crying about her rights as an American. This time around, things were a little better: she was sober and managed to get herself out of a ticket for an illegal parking job.
From TMZ:
Reese Witherspoon may have found a police officer who knows who she is … and that could be how she charmed her way out of a parking ticket.
Reese was leaving boxing class in Brentwood Monday afternoon when she came across a traffic cop who was writing her a ticket. But Reese flashed that smile and the officer responded by cutting her a break.
An official from the L.A. Department of Transportation tells TMZ … Reese got to the officer “prior to completing the citation” … therefore it stands to reason the officer had started to write her up.
The official adds, “The individual was allowed to depart as would any other motorists in a similar circumstance.”
Huh, I thought most cops were assholes with a quota to fill and if they’d started writing the ticket, you were out of luck either way? Must just be the perks of celebrity.
Anyone know if she was standing on American soil?
What irks me the most about this “Southern Belle” was her response to the fiasco. She did the interview with People and said “You have to say you are sorry” She is not sorry, but she can say it–hey celebrities especially those of her ilk know they only have to appear sincere, right?
I believe she invoked something like diplomatic immunity, which is given to blonde Hollywood actresses with nice smiles. Boxing class?
Well it looks like all those acting lessons are finally paying off…
If I could get out of a parking ticket by flashing my smile and being pretty, I totally would. No judgement from me here.
at least she wasnt drinking her boxed wines yet or else that citation would have been a mug shot instead.
Ohhhhhhh… Boxing wine classes.
