Longtime Hollywood publicist Michael Levine said Witherspoon's timely apology helps mitigate any lasting damage to her image, saying she, "quickly removed the poison from her system." Veteran publicist and vice chairman of Reputation.com Howard Bragman agreed. "This is a speed bump, not a sinkhole," he said. "She made a mistake, she apologized. She didn't even have the DUI; it was her husband. Is it embarrassing? Yeah, a little bit. But it's not a game changer in terms of her career." Witherspoon won an Academy Award for playing June Carter Cash in 2005's "Walk the Line." She married Toth, an agent at CAA, in 2011. They have a baby son, Tennessee, who was born in September of 2012. Bragman suspects the municipal charges against the actress will be dropped. She has a court date set for May 22. Toth's case is set to be heard May 23.
