“I’m not pregnant. I said all kinds of crazy things,” the actress said.

Witherspoon went on to explain, “We went out to dinner in Atlanta and we had one too many glasses of wine. We thought we were fine to drive and we absolutely were not. We know better and we shouldn’t have done that.”

As for her asking the arresting cop, “Do you know my name?” she A-lister admits, “I was so disrespectful to him.”

“I have police officers in my family,” she shared, noting, “I work with police officers every day. I know better. It’s just unacceptable.”

Witherspoon added, “I played a lawyer in a movie so many times I think I am a lawyer. And, clearly, I’m not a lawyer because I got arrested.”

Reese Witherspoon talks about motherhood, empowering women, and much more in the UK magazine Red.

In an interview conducted before her disorderly conduct arrest, the movie star says, “As women, we shrug and smile and say, ‘Oh… me?’ because it makes it socially acceptable for us to be successful.”

“But there is a balance between being an arrogant jerk and being someone who is proud of their accomplishments,” adds the actress, offering, “We need to let successful women show off and support them.”

Witherspoon shares, “You have to be the best version of yourself and, if that means you have to be a bit self-promoting, then it’s okay.”

The A-lister cites displaying her Academy Award for Walk the Line in her living room as an example of this, and explains, “Because Lord knows every day is not a success. Every year is not a success. You have to celebrate the good.”

Witherspoon goes on to talk affectionately about her husband Jim Toth, her kids with Ryan PhillippeAva and Deacon, and her baby son Tennessee, whom she says “stole my brain.”

The Mud star reveals, “Ever since I had the baby, I can’t remember anything. Seriously, this child stole my brain.”

“I’ve got a 13-year-old, a nine-year-old and a baby,” she tells the mag, saying, “It’s like CNN ticker tape running through my mind at all times: ‘Where is Ava? She’s okay. Good. Where is Deacon? He’s okay. Good. Where is Tennessee? Is he okay? Yes. Great. Back to Ava…’ It doesn’t stop.”
