Zellweger vs Chesney

W

Wazzie

When Renee Zellweger called Kenny Chesney a "fraud," she meant it only in the best way.

The Oscar-winning actress attempted to clarify Friday why her four-month marriage to the country singer all but ended this week when she filed for an annulment, citing "fraud."

In a statement, the Cold Mountain star called the term "simply legal language and not a reflection of Kenny's character."
"Oh, I beg to differ," Glen L. Rabenn, a family law attorney based in Seal Beach, California, said with a laugh when read Zellweger's words. "What is it then? She's saying the guy is a fraud. Doesn't that go to character?"

"Fraud is a very high standard," Mayoue said. "For a court to accept this for fraud, it's going to have to be a very egregious situation."

Um, I wonder why she just didn't go for "Irreconcilable differences". Something is truly wrong here and I wonder if we will ever know the truth.

Well, it's certainly none of my business why their marriage didn't work out.

Annulment.......Divorce........Whatever!

The "fraud" charge will stick in people's minds however about Kenny and could ruin his sales and ultimately how popular he is on the air right now... Remember,we are dealing with a public that reacts to news like that harshly sometimes until something or someone makes them forget about it..and in Kenny's world, that may be hard to do..So the "fraud" charge could be damming to him
IMO

I hear what you're saying. I understand. However, I would like to think that, in this day and age, people are willing to respect the privacy of two very famous people who are going through a very difficult time.

I mean, from Kenny Chesney's point of view, he could just simply tell his fans and the media: "This is a personal matter between Renee and me. Please respect our privacy. Thank you!"----And to me, that should be enough for him to say. The media and the public does not "need" to know any of the particulars. It's truly nobody else's business but Kenny and Renee.
 
I think it will only be "damning" if people invent their own reasons and speculate, start and spread rumors with no foundation. THAT is the biggest threat...our desire as a culture to find the worse part of everything.

Kenny is a classy guy, respected and admired greatly by his peers and fans.I hope we leave him alone and let his marraige join the millions of failed marraiges that exist.

Perhaps Kenny is "short" in more ways than one!---That might explain why Renee checked off "fraud" on that piece of paper she signed!

After all, lots of men in this world have been known to brag (and, in many cases, greatly exaggerate) to women they meet for the first time about the size of their.......well......you know! LOL!

Nope, she finally saw why Kenny wears a hat for:)
But anyhow that's it for my jokes on the subject....

You got to remember, His main fan base is the 30 year old women that thought this marriage was a wedding made in heaven..He writes and performs a song that's base comes from a line she utters in a movie "you had me from hello".. big and fast romance and next thing they are married... Females are going oh ..match made in heaven.. Then Renee (who women like anyway as a leading actress) comes out with a fraud charge on someone they croon about?

So I agree with what you said But also I agree to the fact that the threat of our culture to find and shun when people do find the warts to someone who's been taken so far in imaginations and fantasies of being this mythical person almost and then finding out they are human like the rest of us... But the fraud charge does more damage IMO than if she had said differences....

Thinking about it, It looks bad on Kenny when in fact she might have been the one who caused the fraud... For all we know (and it's gonna come out sooner or later... public interest is too much on the case)

But what ever the outcome, I look for Kenny to be out of favor with some of his fans for a about a year or two before they forget and croon over him again IMO
Like the Chicks with their comments and them being brought back to country radio recently

Not an option for annulment, only for divorce.

From a purely legal standpoint, annulment is a marital "mulligan" -- once granted, it's as if the marriage never happened. No assets are commingled; everyone leaves with what s/he started. When you're that rich and famous, it can often be the path of lesser-resistance.

I'm not familiar with legal language in New York, where she filed. I would have to know how that state defines "fraud" in this instance or if it was her only plausible option.

I'll give them the benefit of the doubt until I have reason not to do so. Regardless of sophistication level, listeners all seem to understand that "family law" issue can get very messy for everybody...even the stars.
 
ummm ... perhaps Renee could not compete with Kenny's "personal trainer" ... the two men spend a lot of time together. i'm ok with that just not too sure that small-town america is ok with it.
