AceShowbiz - Reese Witherspoon shares her opinion regarding the attention Renee Zellweger has gotten for her face in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter for its Actress Roundtable issue. "It's horrible. It's cruel and rude and disrespectful, and I can go on and on and on. It bothers me immensely," the "Legally Blonde" actress says of the critics.
"I know this is so Pollyanna of me, but why - and it's particularly women - why do they have to tear women down? And why do we have to tear other women down to build another woman up? It drives me crazy," she continues, "Like, this one looks great without her makeup but that one doesn't look good without her makeup, and it's all just a judgment and assault that I don't - look, men are prey to it as well. I just don't think it's with the same sort of ferocity."
Back in October, Renee sparked plastic surgery rumors following her drastically changed appearance at ELLE's Annual Women in Hollywood Celebration. She later addressed the rumors, saying that she looked different because of more relaxing lifestyle.
"I'm glad folks think I look different! I'm living a different, happy, more fulfilling life, and I'm thrilled that perhaps it shows," she told PEOPLE at that time, "People don't know me in my 40s. People don't know me [as] healthy for a while. Perhaps I look different. Who doesn't as they get older?! Ha. But I am different. I'm happy."
