After seeing the tweet, Reese jokingly replied, "Well...I guess everybody knows now...I have 3 legs."

Her tweet continued, "I hope you can still accept me for who I am. ( and I will never apologize for snuggling @Oprah .. if you get the opportunity, I highly recommend it;)."

One Twitter user also noticed that in another photo from the cover shoot it appears that Oprah has three hands. "Oprah has 3 hands in this photo. THREE HANDS. Reese: 3 legs. Oprah 3: hands," @tnwhiskeywoman tweeted Thursday along with a photo that appears to show one of Oprah's hands on her hip, one in front of her and a third hand around Reese's waist.

Oprah responded to Reese's tweet on Thursday afternoon, writing, "I accept your 3d leg. As I know you accept my 3d hand."

 

Vanity Fair also responded to Reese's tweet Thursday, writing, "While we would have loved the exclusive on @RWitherspoon's three legs, unfortunately it's just the lining of her dress."

The VF Twitter account also added, "As for @Oprah, how can we expect her to juggle it all with just two hands? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯_/¯ (We are correcting this error​ online​.)"
