Nonsense. Reform Judaism rejects the divine authorship of the Bible, and rejects the divine authorship of any Oral Law. Reform rejects all of Halacha (Jewish law, a combination of Torah law, Talmud law, and Rabbinic law), and ergo rejects the authority of the Rabbis.
Karaism, which rejects only the Oral Law and rabbinic halacha, is much closer to Orthodox Judaism than Reform is.
