Reese Witherspoon has finally broken her silence over her friend Renee Zellweger, who has wowed the crowd at the red carpet just a few weeks ago after not being in the spotlight and in the show business for many years now.

Zellweger has definitely changed and was unrecognizable for the first time she was seen in public and Witherspoon has talked about it in the most recent issue of "The Hollywood Reporter". She then slammed the criticisms of the public about her friend's appearance and slammed the haters of the fresh face of Zellweger.

Witherspoon pressed, "It's horrible. It's cruel and rude and disrespectful. I can go on and on. It bothers me immensely."

Zellweger has already talked about what she felt when people thought she looked quite different when Twitterverse started to go crazy after she appeared on the "Women in Hollywood Awards" hosted by Elle. She said she is glad that people think she looks different because she is actually living a different, happier and a more fulfilling life.

She continued to reveal, "My friends say that I look peaceful. I am healthy. For a long time I wasn't doing such a good job with that. I took on a schedule that is not realistically sustainable and didn't allow for taking care of myself."

Zellweger has appeared with her long-time boyfriend in the red carpet during the said event and she pressed that she was really happy she was with a man who supports her.

Zellweger said that back in the days, she was depleted and yet she kept ion exhausting herself. That's when she realized she has made a lot of bad choices and she finally became aware of it and that's when she was no longer seen in Hollywood for quite a time.

The 45-year-old actress is back in acting as she has two movies lined up for her.
