Witherspoon kicked off Meet My Mom by sitting down with her own mother, Betty. The actress launched Hello Sunshine last year in order to create content that is both for women and by women. The media company, which recently named Sarah Harden as its CEO, is also producing Are You Sleeping, a thriller that will star Octavia Spencer and will be distributed by Apple.
“As a child, it’s sometimes hard to see your mom as an individual with her own life,” Witherspoon said in a statement. “But ‘Meet My Mom’ is the chance to get to know the real person behind the mom and find out what really makes her tick. I’m excited to bring this concept to the Facebook community and to hear from all of the other wonderful, hard-working moms out there.”
Future episodes of Meet My Mom will feature figure skater Adam Rippon, actor Leonardo Nam, model Ashley Graham, and (of course) their respective mothers.
