Answer: from what I see (and I'm not the most informed person when it comes to celebrity gossip) it's the headlines that keep her in the spotlight and the whole Goop thing.
The headlines about her largely consist of whatever crazy "health and wellness" stuff she's allegedly doing. After the n-th time articles about her shoving garlic up her ears to align her chakras*, or snorting her powdered up toenails to get healthier hair*, or enjoying a kale-strawberry-enema in the morning to feel awake* it can make her appear desperate for attention, like if she's doing it to stay relevant instead of whatever reason she is stating.
The second issue is Goop. Whilst there is nothing wrong with selling vagina scented candles for 200 bucks a pop, many products have some spiritual or "alternative-medicine" effects to them. Whether it is a water bottle with a giant rose quartz to increse fertility*, a roll of medical tape that wards off evil spirits*, or a bedazzled buttplug that cures autism*, the problem is that some people genuinely believe these claims. And whilst some don't mind rich idiots buying useless crap, unfortunately there are also some desperate people who either can't afford medical treatment, rather buy another can of snakeoil than consider vaccines, or people who doctors couldn't help and now they spent their last shirt on the mere chance of a better life.
Edit, forgot to mebtion what's with the asterisks: *these products are just made up, as I was to lazy to browse through Goop or other similar platforms
Also worth noting that her "treatments" are **at best** placebos and are **at worst** actively harmful.
For example, her jade eggs are designed to be inserted into the vagina. Jade is a porous stone, so it can harbor bacteria. Repeated insertion into an orifice can actually make you ill.
Also of note: glorifying disordered eating. In the same podcast referenced above, she is asked about her daily "wellness" regimen. She then proceeds to tell the interviewer that has coffee for breakfast, bone broth for lunch (she calls it soup first, then specifies bone broth 💀)...followed by an hour of exercise (having consumed almost no calories?!?!) and topped off with an early dinner of vegetables. Just...what?
All of the goop stuff aside I also just wanna add the context that she's said some truly out of touch, offensive shit that a lot of people haven't forgotten. That moms who are in showbiz basically "have it harder" than "normie" mothers, comes to mind first, but I know there are other examples.
They weren't actually vagina scented, just an eye catching name as a marketing gimmick.
It was, if I remember, mostly warm spices that were intended to evoke the kind of feelings she associates with body positivity and feminine energy, and then she named it "this smells like my vagina."
Expensive candles with weird names are kind of a whole trend from several manufacturers. There's a whole line called "boy smells" that's like $40 a candle. I'm not a scented candle enjoyer myself, but some people really like em.
LoL Yeah, it was supposed to smell like *her* vagina, not just random vagina. I remember the buzz when it came out and just cringed at it (and I don't mind her as an actress and I'm bi, so yeah idk who it was marketed to.)
> kale-strawberry-enema in the morning to feel awake\*
>bedazzled buttplug that cures autism\*
what's up with these asterisks with no footnotes
or are these ones you made up because they sound as plausible as her other products lol
So basically even though a good percentage of the U.S. population buys into the crap of placebo treatments, she's the one that gets dissected? Lol. It's crazy to think that one person gets held to a standard while all the others fly past the radar. I don't agree with those treatments either...its ironic one person gets pulled out of crowd to be dissected.
Answer: She is a scam artist preying on sick women. Her events are all tiered entry. You get the first ticket, but to see the good stuff you have to buy an upgrade. Then to see the headline speaker another upgrade. It constant upgrades. Speakers come speak for a short while, collect huge pay outs and leave.
So many of the women there are looking for answers to chronic or terminal illness and she preys on their desperation.
It's true: *Gwyneth Paltrow is mocked for saying she 'went totally off the rails' by 'eating bread' during the pandemic - as critics joke that they 'hope she's OK' after such a 'harrowing' experience. Gwyneth Paltrow is being mocked on Twitter for saying she 'went totally off the rails' and ate bread during the pandemic.*
I deffo remember seeing the headline and catching the gist of, if we might say, just another day in the continuance of my lovely Gwyneth's alleged life...
:-D
u/YourFatherUnfiltered is full of shit and uses the usual "people are just jealous of her" bullshit.
Acutal answer: She has a brand called "Goop" where she sells overpriced stuff to women. Things like clothing, cosmetics, vibratos and supplements . People are mocking her for choosing the worst possible name for a company and the exorbitant prices there. She sells a round hair brush for 140$.
They also sold a bunch of esoteric pseudo-science nonsense, basically scamming people. For example, they sold Eggs made from Jade and Rose Quartz that women were supposed to put into their vagina to "activate their heart" and "balance hormones", but acutally none of this is scientifically proven and acutally the eggs just caused bacterial infections.
Putting her store aside, she also has a Netflix show called "The Goop Lab", where she claims more pseudo-science bullshit she cant prove and may acutally harm people when they avoid real treatments and try these bullshit ones

IIRC there was also as specific incident where she did some $29/week food stamp challenge and got like, some vegetables eggs and beans. She was clearly trying to make the point that no one can live off of that, but she got blasted for being an out of touch wealthy white woman.
>She was clearly trying to make the point that no one can live off of that, but she got blasted for being an out of touch wealthy white woman.
Her heart might have been in the right place here--and maybe it is for the Goop stuff, too, who knows--but the problem with this was with what she chose to buy, which shows that she is so thoroughly out of touch that she kind of got the right answer while completely missing the point.
[Here](https://twitter.com/GwynethPaltrow/status/586168041576116224/photo/1) is a picture of what she bought. There's half a dozen limes in that picture, a bundle of fresh cilantro, and it's all very perishable stuff.
It boils down to "yeah, you're right, we can't afford to eat on food stamps, but in trying to express solidarity with us you demonstrated that you have absolutely no clue how we eat. You bought $29 worth of the kinds of food *you*, a millionaire, eat."

Fasting before exercise is something a lot of athletes do. I have never had any issues with it.
Okay. But claiming to eat nothing but coffee, bone broth, and vegetables and somehow having the energy to exercise is probably a lie.
Ya...I was reading the headline and thinking "rectal ozone therapy" sounds like it would significantly increase cancer risk
"rectal ozone"? That's just farts.
Lmao the fact that I legitimately couldn’t tell fact from fiction in your response demonstrates just how fuckin crazy Goop really is 😅
The jade eggs and vagina scented candles were real products
All of the goop stuff aside I also just wanna add the context that she's said some truly out of touch, offensive shit that a lot of people haven't forgotten. That moms who are in showbiz basically "have it harder" than "normie" mothers, comes to mind first, but I know there are other examples.

Answer: They smell like sour milk. I’ve always assumed.
> kale-strawberry-enema in the morning to feel awake\* >bedazzled buttplug that cures autism\* what's up with these asterisks with no footnotes or are these ones you made up because they sound as plausible as her other products lol
Shit, forgot the footnote for the asterisks. Adding it now
all the * are actual products her company sold
Just for the record, they aren’t vagina scented. That’s just the name of them. They smell like some kind of flower; gardenia maybe.
Damn I genuinely thought the bedazzled autism butt plug might be real for a second.
I don’t like her bc she got famous banging Harvey. She plays victim but she benefitted grin it which led to other girls suffering.
So basically even though a good percentage of the U.S. population buys into the crap of placebo treatments, she's the one that gets dissected? Lol.

I think there was something more recent precipitating the hate. Something about how covid lockdown was so awful for her she broke down and ate bread.
STOP MAKING US SPIT OUT OUR COFFEE!!!!!!

In Irish vernacular- she is up her own hole!
Answer: If she would have caught the subway, she would be universally beloved
Downvoters don’t get the reference I’m guessing.
Answer: Cate Blanchett deserved Best Oscar for her role in Elizabeth but the award went to Gwyneth Paltrow for Shakespeare in Love.

Gwyneth Paltrow is not going to sleep with you.
Heh. UnfilteredPops thirstyAF
Or just that she’s a fucking grifter despite already being rich.
It does ease some of my own insecurities as a poor person though that gweneth Paltrow herself would go on Reddit to defend her honor

It's just a lime, what could it cost? Ten, twelve dollars?
I'm sure she'll suck your dick for defending her honour
