Bio
Reese looks like a typical good girl, but her father turned to be a bad boy. Witherspoon, who was still officially linked with the actress’s mother, tied a knot with another woman, Tricianne Taylor, 10 years younger than him. After that Betty prosecuted her lovesick husband. That situation affected each member of the family. But during the court process Betty told, that she is still in love with her ex.
In spite of the fact, that to the moment of the lawsuit John had already become an alcoholic with obvious symptoms of dementia, in his younger years he could fall for him any woman.
John was born in the family of Bill and Dorothea Witherspoon. He was a smart pupil at school, so after graduation decided to continue his studying. The man finished the university as a surgeon and soon became a doctor in the army. He was a great surgeon, and was even sent to Germany for 4 years to cure soldiers there.
He met the beautiful nurse Mary Elizabeth at work and fell in love with her. They got married and gave a birth to a talented witty girl Laura (whom we know as Reese) and to a smart boy John.
John moved out from the family house in 1996, but his wife refused to start divorce process officially. During many years Mr. and Mrs. Witherspoon lived separately.
