Years after the whole "plastic-surgery kerfuffle" that plagued Renée Zellweger in 2014, the actress is speaking out about how the whole thing made her feel.
Spoiler: it's not happy.
The What/If actress has been accused of going under the knife several times throughout her career, but it was her appearance at the 2014 Elle Women in Hollywood Awards that really got people talking.
This led to her face becoming the subject of many ruthless memes and tweets online.
"The most toxic thing about “having work done” is the feeling it can create that someone doesn’t look dramatically different from the way they looked before so much as they look…less. Less vivid, less distinctive, less there," he wrote.
The highly speculated essay, titled "We Can Do Better" called for less scrutiny on celebs.
“Not that it’s anyone’s business," she wrote.
"But I did not make a decision to alter my face and have surgery on my eyes."
"This fact is of no true import to anyone at all, but that the possibility alone was discussed among respected journalists and became a public conversation is a disconcerting illustration of news/entertainment confusion and society’s fixation on physicality.”
She recently spoke about plastic surgery rumors in an interview with New York Magazine.
“Because it probably gives you a stomachache, asking me about that, doesn’t it?” she asked the reporter.
The reporter brought up the panic people felt in 2014 when she suddenly didn't look like herself.
“And the implication that I somehow needed to change what was going on because it wasn’t working,” she said.
"It enables me to do what I do. I don’t want to be something else. I got hired in my blue jeans and cowboy boots with my messy hair."
“Nothing like international humiliation to set your perspective, right?” the Bridget Jones’s Diary actress said.
"And it shakes off any sort of clingy superficiality … that you didn’t have time for anyway.”
She's playing Judy Garland in the upcoming biopic about the actress and she has her show on Netflix called What/If.
Judy hits theatres on September 27.
