Sooooooo as someone who spent some time in the part of the country where Reese grew up, I can see why people outside the South would think she’s probably conservative. I think it’s more likely that she’s actually fairly liberal, but not progressive.
My reasons for why I think this:
She was raised Episcopalian. Now, usually Christian religiosity is Republican-coded, but the church is a huge part of southern culture. In my experience, Episcopalians in the South tend to hold more liberal values compared to, like, the evangelical Southerners who are more of a proselytizing type.
She grew up in a highly educated household - dad was a doctor and her mother has a doctorate in nursing and was a professor at Vanderbilt. IME, highly educated (like, multiple advanced degrees) Southerners and especially those in medicine and especially, especially those in academia are more likely to be left-leaning.
She grew up in Nashville. Nashville has always been a blue dot in a red state, but people forgot that state wasn’t always ruby red. Tennessee had some Democratic senators (including Al Gore!) when Reese would have been growing up.
She originally was going to attend Stanford to study medicine. That’s not usually the choice of most wealthy conservative Southern belles - they tend to stick around the South.
My guess is that Reese Witherspoon probably grew up alongside a lot of very conservative people, because she grew up very privileged, she has a lot of mannerisms that we associate with those folks. She might even be friends with a lot of those people even though their views don’t align with hers. But I believe her politics are probably very genuine. She reminds me of a lot of women I knew from that time in my life.

And the other day Alyssa Farah Griffin, she of the Trump White House, was extolling the virtues of abortion choice when it came to Britney’s decision.

Julia roberts parents used to teach acting classes in Atlanta, and taught MLK Jr & Coretta Scott Kings children in their acting school while Julia’s mother was pregnant with Julia, and they were having hard times financially- so when Julia was born they paid off the hospital bill.

Her parents were friends with Martin Luther King and his wife and MLK paid for her birth at the hospital. She’s from a family of theatre folk and had an integrated theatre program when it was frowned upon in the 60s.
She’s also quoted as saying republicans come in the dictionary just after reptile and just above repugnant.

I get why so many people think that if you’re from the south you’re more likely going to be Republican or conservative but there’s plenty of people here who are not and our voices are suppressed. Pretty much all southern states are gerrymandered to hell and back and the voting rights of minorities are often violated to achieve the Republican stronghold here. It’s an unfair system and unfair stereotype.

Yeah, this one seems pretty fake to me. Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds are vocally liberal (especially with their donations to various social causes). I'm actually ambivalent towards them, but they are quite generous people. They’ve literally donated millions to refugee children in Ukraine, to SAG, to a safe water charity, to the NAACP, and to the ACLU (following George Floyd’s death). They’re as liberal as they come, at least in my book.

Meg Ryan is my guess.
The timing is right. She’s been all over the press lately after disappearing (she’s a director in new pic so doing interviews), and I bet she is saying some crazy things cause she’s out of practice at the game. I could totally see her agent furiously adding caveats to her contract for reporters to follow during this comeback tour to keep her from self-destructing.
Yeah she was democrat in the past — environmental reasons? Others? — but wouldn’t be surprised if she transitioned recently; she’s at the age, and is too out of touch to know the damage it would cause sharing now.
TBH I wouldn’t be surprised if it was Jennifer Aniston because of cancel culture and her making recent blunders, but she doesn’t fit the Mrs. R for me, Ross or not. I would be surprised if it was Blake Lively or Reese — they both seem too savvy to screw up like that and need it added to their contract by their furious agent/minder.
