The world was in shock when everyone found out that Reese Witherspoon got arrested a few weeks ago. Was America's sweetheart following the latest Hollywood trends that Lindsay Lohan and Amanda Bynes are setting?

Fingers were crossed as people hoped that wasn't the case. And thankfully, it wasn't. It was only a bad day, and everyone's entitled to have a few of those.

"It's one of those nights," Witherspoon told GMA's George Stephanopoulos. "We went out to dinner in Atlanta, had one too many glasses of wine. We thought we were fine to drive and we absolutely were not. And it's just completely unacceptable. And we are so sorry and embarrassed. And we know better."

She added that it was "poor judgment" not to call a car service.

But what really surprised fans was when the actress reportedly played the "do you know my name?" card when police were handcuffing her husband Jim Toth. "I have no idea what I was saying that night, I saw him arresting my husband and I literally panicked. I said all kinds of crazy things. I told him I was pregnant. I'm not pregnant! I said crazy things," she said. "If you only hear me laughing is because I had no idea what I was talking about, I'm so sorry!"

She is being charged with disorderly conduct and her husband was booked for driving under the influence. Reese Witherspoon said she apologized to the officer and is very embarrassed about the incident.
