Renee remembered sitting next to two women and a man who were discussing celebrities while on the subway.
‘They were talking about Hollywood and how Hollywood ladies are so silly, especially that Renée Zellweger,’ she said.
‘How could she do that? Why would she go and have surgery on her face like we wouldn’t know? She doesn’t look like herself, and you can’t just do that where you go and don’t look like yourself, “cause we expect you to look like yourself.”‘

Renee thought: ‘Wow, that’s interesting. Anyway, here’s my stop.’
She recalled standing up and waiting for the door to open so she could go about her day, only to hear the man ‘still talking about how stupid I am.’
‘And he looked up and he said, “Oh God, you’re not — you are! Oh my God, but you look just like yourself!” And I said, “Yeah, it’s funny how that works, isn’t it?”‘ she recalled.
While the Jerry Maguire star was hurt by the interaction, she remained steady in who she was and tried to limit the negativity swirling in her head.

‘It’s only momentarily where you go, “Jeez, wow, that’s pretty painful.” But I don’t live in that,’ she said. ‘It just visits my life here and there and I’m not really privy on that stuff until someone sends it to me. I don’t seek it out.
‘And I’m busy! You know, I have dogs and they have to have shots and they need pills twice a day. There’s a lot, you know. I have other things to do.’
Zellweger has certainly moved on from the past and is gearing up for the role of a lifetime as she stars in the Judy Garland biopic which opens in theaters on Sept. 27.
