I'm gonna call fake. I've been in two jury selection pools in Los Angeles in the last 5 years with celebrities, and both times they are dismissed very early on because they are well-known/distracting.

Last time I was in for Jury Duty the guy next to me was telling the same thing. Think it was Selena Gomez. Dismissed as soon as she made it to the potential pool.

The people I was in with weren't even HALF as famous and were still dismissed. One of them was a TV actor whose name I didn't even know, but I recognized him and someone recognized him in the elevator and he was dismissed. No way is Reese Witherspoon not getting dismissed

Y'all say this but my local courthouse has a psa poster featuring Harrison Ford talking about how important it is to serve on a jury in it.
