Ryan Phillippe hires and fires rep
More on the Witherspoon-Phillippe saga… Ryan Phillipe has hired and fired a publicist, who in the few hours that was employed by the actor made up a number of things. Among them, a fake exclusive interview with InTouch, where the actor supposedly said:
“I’m not jealous of her, that’s so far from the truth. She’s someone who’s very talented and works hard. I’ve done well, too – that was never an issue.” and “This is the hardest time of my life – I miss my family.”
The issue here is not what the said or didn’t say, but the fact that the “exclusive interview” was to take place with People magazine, not with InTouch. Oops!
Why Reese Witherspoon dumped Ryan Phillippe
According to The Enquirer, the reason why Reese Witherspoon dumped Ryan Phillippe, is infidelity. Apparently Ryan was having an affair with Australian actress Abbie Cornish, and Reese found out by reading the messages Ryan had sent to the Aussie via his BlackBerry. Oops!
The Enquirer says:
“Reese discovered Ryan’s messages when she accompanied him to New York for the premiere of his movie “Flags of Our Fathers” on Oct. 16. At the premiere the couple smiled and posed for photos together, “but when they got back to the hotel, Reese found Ryan’s BlackBerry, which he’d carelessly left in the bathroom — and she read it,” said the source. “Ryan was caught red-handed. All he could say was he didn’t mean what he’d written to the other woman.” “
Reese Witherspoon dumps husband
Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillippe are now officially separated. According to their rep:
“We are saddened to announce that Reese and Ryan have decided to formally separate. They remain committed to their family and we ask that you please respect their privacy and the safety of their children at this time.”
Sources say that Reese was the one to break up the marriage, although it was not caused by a specific incident (sorry fellas, no cheating here), but was rather cumulative. In other words: she just couldn’t put up with his ass anymore!
