Like millions of others around the world, Reese Witherspoon<\/a> watched <\/span>Framing Britney Spears<\/span><\/i><\/a>, the<\/span> New York Times <\/span><\/i>documentary, released earlier this year, which covers the way Spears was treated by the media when she was at the height of her fame, as well as the conservatorship she\u2019s been under since her public mental breakdown in 2008.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

But unlike most viewers, Witherspoon could relate to Spears\u2019 situation: in the early 2000s, both women were household names\u2014Spears for singing and Witherspoon for acting. Both were going through public divorces\u2014Witherspoon to fellow actor Ryan Phillippe and Spears to dancer Kevin Federline. Furthermore, Both Spears and Witherspoon had two young children during this tough period.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

However, each woman was treated completely differently by the media. Spears was harassed and painted as mentally unfit, while Witherspoon was shown to be a well-put-together young mother.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In a new interview with <\/span>Time <\/span><\/i>magazine<\/span><\/a> Witherspoon said she considers herself \u201clucky\u201d to have been labeled one of the \u201cgood\u201d girls in Hollywood, a simple distinction that meant she was treated differently to other young women in the spotlight, like Spears, Paris Hilton, and Lindsay Lohan.<\/span><\/p>\n
