Zellweger Asks for Privacy During Breakup
Yahoo News/AP ^ | 9/17/2005 | Yahoo News/AP

Renee Zellweger, who has filed for an annulment from Kenny Chesney after just four months of marriage, says the couple "hope to experience this transition as privately as possible."

In court papers filed Wednesday in Los Angeles County Superior Court, the Oscar-winning actress listed "fraud" as the reason for the breakup with the country music star.

The term was "simply legal language and not a refection of Kenny's character," Zellweger said in a statement Friday.

"I would personally be very grateful for your support in refraining from drawing derogatory, hurtful, sensationalized or untrue conclusions," she said. "We hope to experience this transition as privately as possible."

"We hope to experience this transition as privately as possible."

And, naturally, you do this by issuing statements to the press.

"the miscommunication of the objective of their marriage at the start is the only reason for this annulment.

"Renee and Kenny value and respect each other and are saddened that their different objectives prevent the success of this marriage."

One wants children, one doesn't?

Be careful. Those rumors even emerged about manly men like the Rocker, the late Mr. Hudson.

More likely, one wants hetero intercourse, but Kenny is gay.

Never heard of either one, so they have my assurance that I do not give a good damn about whatever it is they did or are doing.

I know you didn't say it, I just like using the word "poofter". It cracks me up, as does "poofy".

Either someone wanted to have children and the other didn't or somebody be gay.

I bet Renee wants kids and Kenny said no way, but again this is how rumor's get started so who knows the reason. I'm sure one of the tabloids will let us know sooner or later, lol!

Renee and Kenny should have discussed their "objectives" BEFORE getting married, wtf do people do when dating these days, don't they talk about goals, objectives, having kids etc. or are they just caught up in each others looks.

Maybe they were too busy working on and releasing statements to the press.

those rumors about his sexuality have floated (no pun intended) around Nashville for years. We've all thought he married just to quiet the talk!?

I don't know what her political beliefs are, but Renee is a heck of an actress. I especially loved her in "Cold Mountain."

This lady was living out of her car, broke as a joke, before starring in "Jerry Maguire."

Maybe something in the prenup didn't check out...or maybe there wasn't a prenup and one of them is spending the other into the ground.
