Reese Witherspoon made a brave move on Monday evening at the Elle Women event in Hollywood when she revealed she had been sexually assaulted aged 16.
The Oscar winner was standing in front of a room of A-listers including Jennifer Lawrence and Jessica Chastain when she relayed how agents and producers pressured her to not talk after a director violated her.
The next day the Big Little Lies producer was spotted heading to a meeting in Los Angeles with a bodyguard by her side. Her mood was understandably serious.
She also posted a moving message to Instagram that began: ‘Last night felt like a sea change.’
