Reese Witherspoon's Mom Files Suit Over Dad's Alleged Bigamy

Posted on Fri May 11th, 2012 7:00am PDT       By X17 Staff

230rwitherspoonpart2120110_02_X17.jpgReese Witherspoon's mother, Mary Elizabeth, has taken legal action against her father John in Tennessee, for committing bigamy by taking a new wife while still married to her.

John, 70, married 60-year-old Tricianne Taylor in a "country-themed" wedding in January, according to a certificate of marriage attached to the legal papers, and the Oscar winner's mom has filed a petition for annulment, stating in her affidavit:

    "No person in Tennessee can marry another while being married at the same time of the second marriage. I love my husband and I don't want a divorce. We have been married 42 years. He needs help. He has a problem with alcohol. He also has a problem with hoarding, which led to our separation in 1996."


Mrs. Witherspoon also stated that they have lived in separate households since 2003, and John, an ear-nose-and-throat specialist, was recently "let go" from the medical practice due to personal problems, including depression.

Apparently the retired nurse and university professor found out about her husband's marriage from a wedding announcement in the local newspaper and, "When I confronted my husband, he said he didn't know who Tricianne Taylor was and that he did not remember getting married," she says in the affidavit.

John attempted to bring Taylor to Reese's wedding to Jim Toth last April, but security would not let her in because she was not on the guest list, according to the affidavit.

Mrs. Witherspoon is also worried her husband's new wife will attempt to "transfer marital assets" and that she tried contacting the woman but she refused to talk to her.

"I wrote her a letter stating that John Witherspoon was married and had two children and four grandchildren. I have had no response. But she clearly knows now that she is married to a man who is not divorced," she confessed.

The Witherspoons appeared to be a happy family when Reese received her star on The Walk of Fame on December 2, 2010, with her mom and dad sitting together, alongside Jim Toth.

It's not hard to see who the biggest star on the American Idol set is this season!

Looking 60s-chic in a white baby doll dress that was covered in pearls, and sexy black pumps with diamond accents, Jennifer Lopez showed off her perfect legs while she commanded her very large team at the Idol studios in Hollywood, on Wednesday afternoon.

Meanwhile her new boytoy Casper Smart, who "centers everything on Jennifer," according to People mag, was busy chatting away with Lopez's fellow judge Randy Jackson.

While the two have only been an item for six months, Smart has reportedly shacked up at the singer's Hidden Hills mansion, which she also shares with her 4-year-old twins Max and Emme.

Think recent ex-hubby Marc Anthony is cool with that?

It's a little late to be doing the walk of shame, Lindsay!

The 25-year-old actress was snapped heading back to her New York City hotel at 4pm today, and not only did she spend the night at Samantha Ronson's place, but it seems like the recently reunited lovebirds spent all day together too!

The ladies partied it up at Cabin Down Below, and this is the second time in the past week that we've caught them together! But what will happen when they both come back to Los Angeles? We're guessing the 34-year-old DJ will be spending quite a bit of time at Lohan's pad -- er, the Chateau Marmont!

Kim Kardashian made an appearance in Toronto today to promote her Belle Noelle jewelry line, and while we figured she would fly out to New York immediately afterwards to see boyfriend Kanye West, it looks like he beat her to it!

X17online can report exclusively that the rapper flew out to meet Kim in Canada, and he even accompanied her to her in-store appearance at The Bay this afternoon! A source at the event tells X17online exclusively that the duo snuck out the back of the department store when she was done with her promotional duties, and this would be the first time that Kanye has actually traveled somewhere to be with the reality TV starlet.

Kim is currently on her way back to Los Angeles, and we're not sure if Kanye is coming with her this time, but given how fast things are moving, we expect him out here very soon! Hey, rapping about marriage is one thing, but actually putting the effort into a relationship is a whole different level of dedication. Maybe these two really are destined to walk down the aisle sometime this year!

Janet Jackson has battled the bulge for years, but with the help of Nutrisystem, it looks like she's finally found a solution to keeping her weight under control. The 45-year-old singer/actress attended the Keszler Gallery event in NYC this evening, and she showed off her slimmed-down bod and of course, plenty of cleavage!

Janet signed on with the company last year, and since then stars like Mariah Carey and Jessica Simpson have also teamed up with weight-loss programs like Weight Watchers and Jenny Craig.

"When I'm down or really stressed, I eat because that's my comfort place," she told Us Weekly after she announced that she was working with Nutrisystem. "I've had a problem with my body image. So that's why it's really really important to get to where you really feel comfortable. You need to look at yourself and say, 'I like this, I feel good about this. I feel healthy, I feel strong, and this is where I want to be.'"

Vanessa Hudgens hit the gym today, and after that we spotted the 23-year-old starlet spending some quality time with her mom Gina and her sister Stella.

V. Hudge has three movies in post-production (Spring Breakers, The Frozen Ground and Gimme Shelter) and she hasn't signed on to any new projects, so it looks like she'll be taking a bit of a spring break herself. Hey, nothing wrong with that, especially when you have a ton of money from High School Musical saved away in the bank!

P.S. What on earth is her little sis wearing?!
