[@jamiegrennell3159]

Most men would not admit that, I mean it was nobody's business. I wonder what he meant by it, like if it was in a negative way or giving her props. Either way good for her!!

[@youngmo77]

Probably voicing a feeling that many around them were having and he felt compelled to say it himself. People can't stop running their mouth about others business, so he probably had enough of it.

[@earlsarcades]

Yeah who is nobody😏

[@X3AmySarah]

Jealousy

[@blizardt]

It's amazing the two of them have been divorced for 14 years in the media still tried to pit the two of them against each other.

[@CaptainAMAZINGGG]

Lolol

[@woodjacoodja9544]

It's your husband making a joke.... No wonder they didn't work out. That marriage must've been a joy.

[@woodjacoodja9544]

@N Df Ehhhh definitely a joke.

[@luckylarau3046]

Obviously it was a joke also it happened a looong time ago.

[@CaptainAMAZINGGG]

Haha

[@kittyrodriguez7179]

I love Resses grace, and happy that she has been been successful!! She’s had a long career and absolutely love the films✨she has been in!

[@icarryamessage]

She was so graceful when she asked that cop “ do you know who I am ? I’m an American citizen!” And when she promised all those teachers free dresses, then was like nahhhhh

[@talkshowv6687]

There’s nothing wrong with being bold, beautiful,smart and making more money than your male counterparts. It’s not a gender thing and this is a very powerful message to women of all ages around the world! There’s nothing wrong with making decent money out of your talent, sweat and tears. Nothing. Go Reese.

[@lauraroberts6533]

Go back and look at the Oscar clip.They were flirty and obviously still in love then.She did make more than him.Whats the big deal.

[@Dogscatsbikes]

Her daughter comes home crying because somebody told her her mother is the highest paid actress in Hollywood? What happened to that bully?🙄

[@gbecks3672]

Right 😂

[@jamiegrennell3159]

Lmbo...

[@wildwind5571]

talk about being out of touch 😂

[@jramirez3492]

Someone go check on Ava to make sure she’s recovered

[@Dogscatsbikes]

@@jramirez3492 🤣 she couldn’t handle it knowing her mom could afford her therapy

[@luckylarau3046]

Um he said this a loooong time ago! I forgot I’m living in a world of people getting in trouble for stuff they said 10,20 years ago. Get a life people!

[@charissemodeste6489]

That's how it goes when men are insecure and in their feelings. I STRONGLY believe.. that he didn't expect her (over HIMSELF) to become the huge ⭐, after their movie "Cruel Intentions". In my mind.. l've always imagined him staring at himself in the mirror going; "I WAS THE STAR.. IT SHOULD BE ME OUT THERE, NOT HER.." You never saw him smiling around her, after things took off.

[@deadslash736]

Wow, she was so brave to continue on! That is amazing! What a hurtful, violent, aggressive mean spirited attack. What an amazing, powerful lesson. It's so important to let girls know it's ok to make money. Interesting side note, if you watch the entire clip, Reese mocks normal people and says that without makeup beautiful stars look like people in documentaries, but really the story here is Ryan Phillipe admitted on national TV that she made more money than he did. What a dastardly, horrific experience. That poor, poor girl. I think sometimes we get so wrapped up in things like people dying from covid that we lose track of what is important, like "shaming rich people." So important, thank you for being so strong Reese!

[@justlookattheflowers4239]

LOL.

[@luckylarau3046]

Was this comment sarcasm?

[@deadslash736]

@@luckylarau3046 Why would anyone be sarcastic about such an act of bravery? As a man I could never comprehend the pain and agony being a rich woman. Not all heros wear capes, but when they do, it's probably Prada.

[@i.am_me.5739]

Very disrespectful to your wife really who cares if your wife makes more money than you you are both contributing financially and it is nobody else's busy unless you make it which he did

[@tbam73]

Why did the podcast even bring this up to her. And his response was to her begging to read the winner from the envelope. Why would she know he was going to say it since it was a reaction to what she said. This is so stupid.

[@Mjl449]

Pretty sure I wouldn't cry if I found out my mom was rich.

[@CaptainAMAZINGGG]

Lolll i know rite

You ladies need to calm your tits. It was a totally fine thing to say, and was true. 🤣 Btw, being offended / triggered is also a thing that occurs, via the ego and one's enslavement to it. Just sayin ;)

[@bettyannsmith5267]

Why is she bringing this up NOW?

[@lilypoon1175]

Girl don't cry bc your mama be making money. boys don't. Few women reach financial parity with their spouse. Reese is incredible.

[@clincpb8903]

Reese is a very good actress and she deserves her money.

[@icarryamessage]

Where’s my free dress Reece ???!!!

[@annabelvb]

I haven’t seen the original clip, but it sounds like he was trying to point out there was nothing wrong with her earning more than him? (Which was a big sticking point at the time)

[@shidatja2950]

You should see the clip. He was bitter. It didn't look like he was being supportive.

[@jtangel98]

Idk what she is complaining about. She “won” an Oscar for playing June Carter without ever having to look, sound, act, or sing like June Carter.

[@microaggressionsurvivor2937]

I was OMG girl like no way.

[@EmorettaRobinson]

As a single person I really think that couples should be supportive of one another. And encouraging of one another irregardless of who makes the most money. The reality is that some females do well financially. But that doesn't make the man they are in a relationship with less of a man. Being a man has nothing to do with your income.

[@clincpb8903]

@Kalu V So tell me why some men accept it when a woman gets more money. Maybe they do not have the preconceived ideas you have in your sick male chauvinist brain.

[@jayg5391]

My god. What ever happened to love and aspirations. Who cares..

[@TlhomphoDitedu]

Irregardless? Is that a word? Haha😂

[@EmorettaRobinson]

What happened to Ryan though? I don't recall the last time I've seen him in a movie. I remember when they were married. I thought that they'd both be successful actors. I'm not saying he's not successful. And I don't mean anything negative so don't take it there. But I felt that he was talented and attractive. And I rarely hear anything about him. The same for Hayden Christensen. Hopefully I spelled his last name correctly. I try and get people's name right because mine has been mispronounced more times than I could keep track of.

[@shockthemonkey16]

I know I have seen trailers of Ryan’s new show called BIg Sky that is from the creator of Big Little Lies. Big Sky is shown on ABC. Hayden Christensen has been recently announced to reprise his role as Darth Vader in the upcoming Obi-Wan Kenobi show on DIsney+.

[@EmorettaRobinson]

@@shockthemonkey16 well thank you for letting me know what they've both been up to. I'm seriously thinking about getting Disney + there are a lot of good shows on there. I've heard a lot of good things about The Mandolin and other shows. Again, thank you. I appreciate it.

[@shockthemonkey16]

@@EmorettaRobinson Omg The Mandalorian is amazing! A must watch.

[@EmorettaRobinson]

@@shockthemonkey16 that's what I've heard. I want to watch it to see what I'm missing. Or catch up on all that's happened.

[@eleanorpillay2677]

@@EmorettaRobinson I started watching big Sky because of him. SPOILER ALERT! He got shot in the first episode. Watched a few more incase he would miraculously recover from a bullet to the brain... But nada... It was boring.

[@TheYaxcer]

oh god I wish that was my mom making all those millions. Think I would come home crying? that's a hard NO for me. these Hollywood people I can never understand I like Resee but Who cares?

[@yolandaperez7009]

FRANKLY I REALLY DONT CARE,IT SOUNDS LIKE YOUR BOASTING ,shut up already WHO CARES 🙄🤐

[@variousJnames]

Ryan seems like he was extremely jealous of his then wife's success. It's probably the largest reason why they divorced and his career just tanked.

[@AshitaNoKanousei42]

You GET that money, Reese. Who else remembers the movie "A Far Off Place"?

[@jsobol100]

he was kidding... get over it/ just laugh at it. hm she seems uptight

[@nn22939]

It says a lot about her character, she is now married to a wimp, who she leads by a leash

[@gabriela5638]

Yes 😂

[@amrose4214]

Well at the time she won the Oscar for walk the line role. He was a small role in the moive crash that won Oscar for best director that year so he director got the Oscar not Ryan. It always an ego issue. Like a woman supposed to be less making money income but gets successful on her own but people get jealous or slammed over it. Daughter got bullyied in school for her moms salary lol.

[@justlookattheflowers4239]

What is you don't make any money Reece, can we feel bad about that lol.

[@earlsarcades]

How did he get his start😏

[@jennyfantana3717]

Ryan start on soap opera in the 90's and mid 90's making teenagers movie's

She’s right most women don’t get an opportunity to make more money especially if they are ethnic so they have to work twice as hard to get foot in door

They got married and had children too quickly. On the other hand Michelle Gellar and Freddie Prinze waited 7 years to discover each other prior having kids.

[@raechel0116]

@@clincpb8903 agreed. People change and that’s if you get married super young and haven’t had time to grow up or become adults or even if your older people change. When you bring children into the mix it’s even worse.
