Were Reese’s wise words about domestic abuse a ploy?

The always-thinking, supersweet Reese Witherspoon was of course on AP Radio the other day and got sidetracked. The usually hush-hush gal did offer up her opinion on something else other than what pertains to the interview topic at hand, like the unfortunately hot issue of domestic abuse, along with Rihanna and Chris Brown.

"When you think [how] one in three women are victims, that's pretty much everyone we know," quipped Reese, rather seriously emphasizing how domestic abuse can affect all people in life. When pressed further, she said she has no "personal experience" with Chris and Rihanna's situation, so she couldn't comment on them specifically.

Where was Reese's main man (her PR gal, that is) to jump in? Could R have been eager to briefly touch on this taboo topic instead of a more touchy, roundabout one? Her unusually chatty quotes smell more like a brilliant ploy to divert other personal questions, like if the Oscar winner really is expecting...to marry Jake Gyllenhaal soon?

Like we've said before, Reese is crafty, and her meticulous publicity plans are starting to outshine those of Angelina's. If Reese offered up any of these random quotes you better believe it's to hide something else. But is Jake as gullible as Brad? Hell no. That's why this power couple is going straight to the top fast. Watch out.
