The 'Legally Blonde' actress was involved in quite a sticky situation when her husband Jim Toth was pulled over by traffic cops in Atlanta. “Do you know my name? You’re about to find out who I am,” Witherspoon said to the police officer while trying to defend her partner. This line didn't quite have the desired effect as it led the officer to arrest her too for disorderly conduct. After being released on bail, Reese apologized for her behavior in a statement, saying: "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."

The '7 Rings' singer later released a statement to apologise for the incident: "I am EXTREMELY proud to be an American and I've always made it clear that I love my country. What I said in a private moment with my friend, who was buying the donuts, was taken out of context and I am sorry for not using more discretion with my choice of words."
