Reese recently opened up to Entertainment Weekly about how social media has helped her fight back against tabloids and paparazzi.

“I feel so much less vulnerable than I used to. There were so many tabloids saying all kinds of wrong things, and I feel like it’s almost all but gone. It still happens but it’s really silly at this point,” she explained.
