This is especially ironic in recent years as the two also play arch-rivals in the television series Big Little Lies. The antagonism does not extend beyond the studio, however. In fact, in a 2022 Instagram post featuring the two actresses, Witherspoon warned, “If you mess with her, you mess with me.
