Hollywood star Reese Witherspoon recently shared the reason why the media treated her differently than Britney Spears after their divorces in November 2006. According to E! News, during a new interview, the 45-year-old actor reflected on the scrutiny she has faced over the years. It was in November 2006 that Witherspoon filed for divorce from her now ex-husband Ryan Phillippe, with whom she shares daughter Ava Phillippe, and Deacon Phillippe. She also has an 8-year-old son, Tennessee Toth, with her husband Jim Toth.

Looking back at that time, the 'Legally Blonde' alum recalled being hounded by the paparazzi, who she said followed her to church, to her kids' school and to their soccer practice.
