Why Reese Witherspoon will blow her own trumpet
SHE found herself cringing with embarrassment after a drunken run-in with the police just over a week ago but Reese Witherspoon says she has no problem letting everyone know when she gets things right – and she thinks all women should do the same.
“As women, we shrug and smile and say, ‘Oh… me?’ Because it makes it socially acceptable for us to be successful,” Reese, 37, tells Red magazine.
“But there is a balance between being an arrogant jerk and being someone who is proud of their accomplishments.
“We need to let successful women show off and support them. Because men don’t spend any time putting themselves down. They don’t waste their breath.
“You have to be the best version of yourself and if that means you have to be a bit self-promoting then it’s OK. It really is.
“Because who’s going to believe in you more than yourself? Other than, maybe, your mother?”
