    Yes.

    Or just that "Witherspoon alleged ..."

    Or how about "Witherspoon said ..."

    What reason do we have to doubt Reese Witherspoon?

    Should we dispense with trials in this country, too?

    What reason do the courts have to doubt Reese Witherspoon or anybody else, after all?

    Is a wire story a court of law?

    No. So what the fuck, you could just write anything!

    In a news story of this kind, what reasons do we have to doubt Reese Witherspoon?

    Without an accused - aka a named someone who can sue us for getting it wrong - 'reveals' is imprecise, but not incorrect.

    And maybe spare me the dramatics this time.

    Dick is right here.

    Still wrong on the Trump language though.

    This is why we use "alleged"?
