An Internet frenzy broke out on Monday night, October 20th, when pictures of Renee Zellweger were released as she attended the Elle Women in Hollywood event in Beverly Hills. Heads turned as the 45 year old actress walked the red carpet. It’s been four years since she appeared in a movie, but that hasn’t stopped the flurry of speculation that Zellweger had major plastic surgery done.
After the unrelenting buzz on Twitter, Zellweger decided to speak out to People magazine, responding to the questions and criticisms about her new look. She replied to the comments, many of which were unfavorable by suggesting she wasn’t bothered by all the chatter. In an exclusive statement to People Magazine, she stated “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.”
