Renee Zellweger in privacy plea

Actress Renee Zellweger has said she hopes her split from husband Kenny Chesney after four months can be achieved "as privately as possible". The Oscar-winning star and the country singer are seeking an annulment and Zellweger listed "fraud" as the reason. But she said it was "legal language and not a reflection of Kenny's character". She added: "I would personally be very grateful for your support in refraining from drawing derogatory, hurtful, sensationalised or untrue conclusions." Chesney also released a statement on Friday describing it as "an incredibly sad time". "I just hope everyone can respect the privacy that I know Renee has already asked for," he added.
