Renee Zellweger: I Didn"t Get Plastic Surgery, OK?
There’s something about Renee Zellwegger that looks different these days, but we might just be seeing things.
That is, according to Renee.
Renee’s face was the object of tabloid fodder back in March. Some noticed that she appeared younger, and automatically assumed that she had work done.
“In my home I’m not aware of it,” Renee said during a March appearance on the Today show.
“I don’t do any kind of social media, so I don’t see it. I like to have – I guess you would call them real experiences.”
The Oscar winner stars in the upcoming third installment in the Bridget Jones’s Diary franchise, Bridget Jones’s Baby.
In an effort to kill two birds with one stone, she’s written a heartfelt essay for Huffington Post about those nasty rumors, while serving as a reminder that the film opens on September 16th.
The essay, titled We Can Do Better, is a complicated read. In fact, one can’t be blamed for re-reading it a few times, mainly because Renee tries very hard to sound as academic as possible.
Still, she gets her message across.
“I am not writing today because I have been publicly bullied or because the value of my work has been questioned by a critic whose ideal physical representation of a fictional character originated 16 years ago, over which he feels ownership, I no longer meet,” Renee wrote, referring to her character from Bridget Jones’s Diary.
“I am not writing in protest to the repellent suggestion that the value of a person and her professional contributions are somehow diminished if she presumably caves to societal pressures about appearance, and must qualify her personal choices in a public court of opinion.
“I’m not writing because I believe it’s an individual’s right to make decisions about his or her body for whatever reason without judgment.
“I’m writing because to be fair to myself, I must make some claim on the truths of my life, and because witnessing the transmutation of tabloid fodder from speculation to truth is deeply troubling.
“The ‘eye surgery’ tabloid story itself did not matter, but it became the catalyst for my inclusion in subsequent legitimate news stories about self-acceptance and women succumbing to social pressure to look and age a certain way.
“In my opinion, that tabloid speculations become the subject of mainstream news reporting does matter.”
If writing this article gave Renee some sort of closure on the whole plastic surgery rumor mill, then good for her. Many, however, won’t buy it for the simple fact that she does look different.

Renee Zellweger Finally Responds to Comments About Her Appearance
We haven"t seen much of Renee Zellweger since she appeared on a red carpet a year and a half ago looking, well, a little different than we remembered.
Everybody lost every last one of their marbles and accused the actress of "getting a new face" via some plastic surgery nightmare come to life.
It couldn"t have been easy for her.
However, her public response at the time remained totally chill. She basically wrote off the allegations and chalked it up to living a good life.
"I"m glad folks think I look different!" Renee said. "I"m living a different, happy, more fulfilling life, and I"m thrilled that perhaps it shows."
Now that she"s promoting her upcoming film Bridget Jones" Baby, she must face the public again, and because humans suck, peeps are more interested in her face than the flick.
During an interview with the Today Show, Renee shares clips from the much-anticipated sequel to Bridget Jones" Diary and Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason, but host Sheinelle Jones couldn"t resist asking about the brouhaha surrounding the star"s appearance.
"I remember a couple of years ago people were talking about, "Oh, she changed her appearance." Does it bother you, does it get to you or is it just par for the course?" inquired the host.
And once again, Renee kind of side-stepped the issue, probably and understandably annoyed that she has to address it in the first place.
"It"s not really part of my life," she said, referring to the scrutiny. "It"s part of the job, that I don"t really experience except when I step into this arena."
Translation: Yes it gets to me, you f**king jackass, and I"m sick to death of it so could you just STFU about it once and for all?
That"d be our guess.
"In my home I"m not aware of it," she continued. "I don"t do any kind of social media, so I don"t see it. I like to have – I guess you would call them real experiences."
For what it"s worth, Renee is looking a lot like her old self, so it seems everyone went bonkers for nothing.
Oh, and the movie looks really good, too!
