Reese Witherspoon has quite a throwing arm — and the actress wants people to know she's not afraid to use it.
The “Big Little Lies” star responded Wednesday to a Twitter user who shared an image of her apparently throwing an ice cream cone at Meryl Streep.
Witherspoon, 42, and Streep, 69, are both set to appear in the second season of the HBO show.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}“I am praying Reese pelts Meryl with that ice cream. #BigLittleLies,” @mattybooz tweeted.
Witherspoon, who plays Madeline Mackenzie on the show, assured him her aim was spot-on.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}“Oh Matt! No need to pray. I got her!” she wrote, including an emoji of an ice cream cone and a dart hitting a bullseye.
@mattybooz replied to the actress's message, too, with several emojis and the words, "Yaaaasss #TeamMadeline."
However, the incident may just be for show.

“There's apparently a scene in which Reese Witherspoon's character throws an ice cream cone at Meryl Streep's character," People reporter Dave Quinn confirmed in a tweet.
