AFRIENDSstar, a wild night, and a run-in with the law — sounds like the setup for a sitcom, right? After having a little too much fun, this actress decided to drop the “I’m famous” card when things got dicey with an officer.
Spoiler: it didn’t exactly work out. You see, fame doesn’t always come with a get-out-of-jail-free card, and this moment was pure chaos.
Reese Witherspoon’s unforgettable diva moment after a DUI arrest and what followed
Reese Witherspoon, theLegally Blondequeen, found herself in some seriously hot water back in 2013, and it wasn’t for anything remotely as classy as Elle Woods.
The actress, who playedJill Green onFRIENDS(remember, she dated Ross?), was pulled over with her husbandJim Toth after he got busted for DUI. But it wasn’t just Toth who got into trouble that night. Witherspoon made headlines for her own diva moment.

As the situation unfolded, Witherspoon wasn’t about to stay in the car when the state trooper told her to. Instead, she threw down a line that’ll go down in history (viaThe Guardian):
Do you know my name? You’re about to find out who I am…You’re about to be on national news.
Later, she owned up to her behavior. Witherspoon admitted she’d been disrespectful to the officer just doing his job. Sherevealed,
I clearly had one drink too many and I am deeply embarrassed about the things I said. It was definitely a scary situation and I was frightened for my husband, but that is no excuse.
I was disrespectful to the officer who was just doing his job. I have nothing but respect for the police and I’m very sorry for my behaviour.
Lucky for her, the fallout wasn’t too bad. FromLegally BlondetoFRIENDS, and evena little run-in with the law, Reese Witherspoon has shown she knows how to rise above and keep it damn cool while doing it.
