Reese Witherspoon's step mum lashes out

Tricianne Taylor, 61, who is married to Reese Witherspoon’s father, spoke out to the National Enquirer — though she admits to never meeting the star.

Tricianne said: "Based on Reese’s behaviour in those police videos following her recent arrest, I believe she has a serious drinking problem... I think Reese’s father is living in denial about the severity of her drinking..."

John Witherspoon married Tricianne in 2012 while still married to Reese’s mother, who sued him for bigamy and legally blocked him from using the Witherspoon name.

Tricianne told the magazine that Reese, 37, is still angry about the controversial marriage and was so rude to John at her wedding to Jim Toth that he ‘almost bailed on her and refused to walk her down the aisle’.

She added: "Reese shows very little respect for her father..."

Tricianne also claimed that ‘Reese is not the sweet, innocent girl next door that her fans think she is. Not even close’.

She is currently asking for $100,000 in exchange for the full details of how the Walk The Line actress ‘destroyed’ the family, according to the Enquirer.
