Zellweger Cleared in $10M House Guest Lawsuit
29 Sep
Summary
- Renée Zellweger was removed as a defendant in a $10 million lawsuit.
- The lawsuit alleged injury from a rug covering a hole in Laguna Beach.
- The case against boyfriend Ant Anstead remains ongoing.

Actress Renée Zellweger has been dismissed from a $10 million lawsuit related to an alleged injury at a rental property. The legal action was brought by Tracey Belland, who claimed to have injured her knee in 2024.
Belland alleged she stumbled and fell after stepping on a thin rug that concealed a hole in the floor at a Laguna Beach home. This home was reportedly rented by Zellweger's boyfriend, Ant Anstead. Zellweger's legal team asserted she had no connection to the rental property, as she was not on the lease and maintained her own nearby residence.
While Zellweger has been dismissed from the case with prejudice, meaning it cannot be refiled against her, the lawsuit against Ant Anstead is ongoing. Anstead has denied all allegations of legal responsibility for Belland's alleged injuries.
