Renée Zellweger and her boyfriend Ant Anstead have reportedly been hit with a lawsuit by a woman who claims she was injured at a rental home the two had been staying at.

A woman named Tracey Bryn Belland filed suit against the couple earlier in February after she allegedly fell and hurt herself at a rental home in Laguna Beach, California, TMZ reported on Wednesday.

According to the publication, Belland's lawsuit says that Anstead, 46, was the person listed on the rental lease.

She's said to have alleged that she suffered an injury when she visited the house on August 14, 2024.

In response, Zellweger, 56, and Anstead have denied any responsibility for Belland's alleged injuries and instead claim that her alleged negligence led to the fall. 

The Daily Mail has reached out to representatives for Zellweger and Anstead for comment. 

During the visit, Belland allegedly tripped and suffered a painful fall on the home's patio. 

According to TMZ, Belland claims in her lawsuit — which is said to be ongoing — that a 'thin rug had been placed over a hole, which caused her to stumble over the uneven surface, resulting in an injury to her right knee.'

Belland reportedly claims that her injuries were severe enough to warrant getting medical treatment. 

According to the publication, she claims in her filing that she expects to have ongoing pain related to the alleged injury. 

Belland is reportedly seeking unspecified damages, and she also wants the defendants to cover her medical costs related to the alleged fall, as well as other expenses incurred in the aftermath.

The lawsuit has a complication, as Belland reportedly included the owner of the rental home as a defendant.

According to TMZ, the owner then filed his own cross-complaint against Zellweger and Anstead.

The owner reportedly denies having put Belland at risk of injury, and he instead claims that Zellweger and Anstead were responsible for warning her about any potential structural issues of the property.

The publication writes that he has requested the court to have the celebrity couple cover any damages that Belland may win if her lawsuit is successful.

A source with knowledge of the issue told the Daily Mail that Zellweger had never lived at the Laguna Beach rental and instead lived nearby, while only Anstead was living at the rental.

They emphasized that Zellweger was never on the lease, and therefore, she wasn't liable for Belland's alleged fall at the property.

The insider described Belland's visit to Anstead's rental as part of a gathering of friends, but they said Zellweger wasn't even at the property for the majority of the time people were visiting.

They added that the Bridget Jones's Diary star didn't witness Belland's alleged fall, as she had been taking her elderly dog to the veterinarian, and she had been busy cleaning up after the dog outside once she returned.

Zellweger and Anstead began dating in 2021.
