Freshly Brewed Buzz with Reese Witherspoon and Kim Kardashian

TEACHERS SUE REESE WITHERSPOON: A group of teachers has filed a suit against Reese Witherspoon, accusing her of taking advantage of the pandemic by running a promo at her Draper James site that promised a free dress to a winning teacher. To enter, the teachers had to share personal info. The contest was a bust, they allege. The Blast reports that Draper James is responding with a statement that reads: “This lawsuit is an unjust attempt to exploit Draper James’ good intentions to honor the teacher community by gifting hundreds of free dresses. The fact that supplies were limited, such that a free dress could not be provided to every teacher who responded, was disclosed and is no basis for a lawsuit.” (The Blast)

AVA DUVERNAY SPEAKS ON GEORGE FLOYD’S DEATH: While Ava DuVernay has long been an activist, she says she experienced a new level of insight and horror while reviewing the death of George Floyd at the hands of the police. She told The Ellen DeGeneres Show: “For me, I [am] unfortunately desensitized to so many of the racist, violent images because I have to use them so much in my work. I looked through thousands of hours of this kind of footage for 13th [and] looked through beatings and police brutality footage for Selma and for When They See Us. So, it was really shocking to me why the George Floyd video just brought me to my knees.” (ET)

PORSCHA WILLIAMS RECALLS RACISM AS CHILD: Porscha Williams is opening up about the racism she experienced as a child. She tells Andy Cohen on Watch What Happens Live: “I was about 6 years old when I went to my first march,” Williams said, explaining that she attended the event with her grandfather, famed civil rights leader and dedicated activist Hosea Williams. “I was excited to go. You know, as a little kid, you finally get to go to work with your granddad… and we get out there and I’m excited.” She continued: “We came across Ku Klux Klan who decided they were going to protest our protest. They threw rocks at us, and I actually got hit with one. They chased us all the way back to our buses. They called us the N-word and any other word you could imagine the KKK would be calling us.” She said she didn’t “understand it” at the time. (ET)
