Actress Reese Witherspoon has spoken out over her divorce from fellow actor Ryan Philippe and described the divorce as being:

Very humiliating and very isolating.

The couple had been married for seven years, and have two children together. They divorced in 2006, and have both met other people since. Reese is now with ‘Broke Back Mountain’ star Jake Gyllenhaal.

Reese revealed her distress about her divorce in next month’s issue of Elle.

When people get in your face and say, ‘This will pass,’ you think: Are they crazy?

I’m never gonna feel any better than I feel right this minute and nothing’s ever gonna make sense again. And I still have moments where I’m like, ‘Nothing’s ever gonna make sense again.’

[But]If it’s not painful, maybe it wasn’t the right decision to marry to begin with. Those are the appropriate emotions.
