Reese Witherspoon Has Had Enough of Your Renee Zellweger Bullshit

By Madeleine Davies  |  November 20, 2014 | 3:10pm

Reese Witherspoon has heard what you’ve been saying about Renee Zellweger and wants you to know that she thinks you’re a dick.

At the annual Hollywood Reporter white ladies actress round table, THR brought up the recent kerfuffle surrounding Zellweger’s “peaceful” new appearance and Witherspoon immediately jumped to her defense:

It’s horrible. It’s cruel and rude and disrespectful, and I can go on and on and on. It bothers me immensely.
…
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. 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.

Nothing “Pollyanna” about defending your friends and pointing out the level to which women get ridiculed for their appearance.

And now, a bonus round table moment courtesy of Patricia Arquette:

ARQUETTE I had a big fight with one [paparazzo].
[AMY] ADAMS I wish I had been there to have your back.
ARQUETTE He kept following us. And I said, “OK, leave us the fuck alone.” And he goes, “Nice, mom! Good job!” I said, “I’m teaching my daughter. If a man is following you and you tell him to go away and he doesn’t, you turn around and say, ‘F— you!’ as loud as you can.” Because there’s no difference. I don’t care if he has a camera.

Actresses: Doing it for themselves!
