Wait, Gwyneth Paltrow is Jewish???

Jesus ! How old are you ? I thought this is common knowledge .

On her dad’s side. (Mom is wASP)

She has a super WASPy look. I assumed she was a WASP. I always wondered why these anti-Gwyneth Paltrow threads would periodically float by. This explains a lot. These uppity minority women have to be put in their place, before they start taking things for granted.

There is so much antisemitism on DCUM. This explains A LOT.

Gwenyth Paltrow IS annoying and insufferable. I don't think most people even know she is Jewish and I thought the original PP who defined her as Jewish and almost nothing else was being incredibly anti Semitic and was surprised the post hadn't been deleted.

Reading comprehension isn't the strong point of many on dcum. The pp who described her as jewish—which is what she has identified herself as, was pointing out how problematic and thoroughly lacking in self awareness she was to try to take ownership of the 'mainstreamization' of yoga in America,in other words , she as a Jewish woman should know better . . Jews are not above reproach and identifying them as such isn't a problem .

If pp clarified all that pages after the initial post (and you’ve confirmed with Jeff that wasn’t just an elaborate story to escape consequences for an anti Semitic post) then fine I guess but I do not believe anything about the post above implies that whatsoever

“The lingerie you wore with past lovers can carry the toxic residue of those relationships, along with painful memories,” she wrote. “While we might not think to trash lingerie that once made us feel so good — or that we spent a lot of money on — it’s a powerful, healing gesture to make.”

Do you understand that toxic =/= cancer?? Wow. That’s quite a leap you made.

She was raised celebrating Jewish and Christian holidays and she has raised her kids in a Jewish environment. She formally converted to Judaism in 2014, so obviously she does very much identify as Jewish.

Newsflash to those insisting she’s not Jewish: while her mom is a WASP, she is indeed half Jewish and fully converted. And you can be blond and also Jewish. Good grief.

I really don't think anyone except you cares.

Agree. A PP insinuated that the GP hate was due to her being Jewish but most of us didn’t know that and don’t care. There can be reasons she’s disliked that have nothing to do with her religion or heritage.

Just admit you hate her because she's rich, white, and successful. I don't know what color you are but I'm going to guess green.

Is she white or is she Jewish?

You can’t be serious.

And nannies taking care of the kids. Is it really hard to remain thin when you have all of that? No, it is not. She's a washed up actress. I can't believe anyone cares about her, let alone enough to buy her Alex Jones tier snake oil.

You are truly one of the more hateful posters on this thread. What’s with the constant references to Alex Jones? We don’t care what your politics are. You sound incredibly envious. Not a good look.

Yes, she is all these things.

I do think she is beautiful, though, in a way that I admire and that is rare. Her personality is insufferable, but I don't understand why people think she's plain.

Obviously different strokes and all but she looks very plain to me without makeup- literally like every other white mom in my neighborhood I see- going to work, walking their dogs, out with kids etc.
Maybe taller than average but that is the only thing that might be 'rare'.
Don't know enough about her to opine about her character.

Where do yoi live that every woman looks like her? Where is such a magical place?

suburbs of Boston

I hope they don't have that horrific accent then b/c that would be a deal breaker.

GP does a wicked Boston accent:

Do you know the difference between fact and opinion?

What do you think my post is saying that mixes them up?

Fact: GP is Jewish
Opinion: Most people don't know this (I said I think there)
Fact: Original PP is the one that brought it (and her gender) up as the only descriptions of her
Opinion: I think that because that PP described her in no other way than 'jewish' and 'woman' and phrased it in a way to imply that it was ridiculous that a jewish woman would claim to be responsible for the centuries old practice of yoga (which is true, but it is true of any person, not just jewish people or women), that the original PP is anti semitic and a little misogynist to boot.

You are entitled to disagree with that opinion, of course, just as I am entitled to express it.

Your first sentence.... she "IS" annoying. You start your rambling with your opinion stated as fact. That's it. I don't know why you are so obsessed with her Jewishness. Are you the same person who was convinced Paltrow was a total WASP name and obviously doesn't know what WASP means? It's hard to keep all the posters straight. Some seem insanely jealous of her looks, otherwise hate GOOP or blogs or social media, or something, another wants to know all about her dad, and someone else or one of the same wants to focus on her Jewish roots. There are a lot of weirdos here and this thread is hard to follow.

No I haven't posted at all in this thread until today. I read the first page or two and was incredibly offended by the above post so read more and posted. I have not called her a WASP although prior to reading this I would have said she seemed like the whitest person in existence and would have guessed something vaguely nordic as an origin, but it would have been a shot in the dark based mostly on her hair.

I find her super super irritating but don't spend much time thinking about her, I clicked on this today because I finally read the vogue article someone had sent me where I did, in fact, find her insufferable. I did not even know she had Jewish ancestry until I read this thread and my only feelings about the subject at all are that the original OP here is anti semitic because of the way they introduced the information.

As for GP herself, I think that she frequently perpetuates lifestyle choices and hobbies that, at best, give people some artificial sense of belonging without doing harm and at worse cause people to neglect medical treatment for serious issues. I think she has done real harm in that regard, especially in regards to women's health, and that really has nothing at all to do with her looks or wealth or parents. Reading that she now delights in what she sees as an outrage cycle but is generally simply a desperate attempt by the medical community to stop women from inserting foreign objects of unknown origin into their vagina makes me more sure of her insufferability. But whatever, rich entitled people will always do these things, what drove me to post was the poster above wielding the word Jewish Woman like a slur (and no, I am not Jewish)

Wow. This is quite a post. I hope you are a writer or have a blog.

NP, but I don't think so. I admire a lot of beautiful women. LOVE Kate Middleton and MM (wish they got along and were BFFs, oh well), and I think Kristen Cavallari is hilarious and a lot more gorgeous than Gwyneth. So, don't think it's jealously, at least for me. I just find her annoying.

How old are you? You probably aren't GP target audience. I'm going to guess they skew older and closer to her age. You seem much younger.

I'm pretty sure by bringing her 16 year old daughter into the mix, she's really trying for a younger audience.

Well I guess its not for you then. You aren't 50, aren't the parent of a teen age girl, and think she's boring. Different strokes for different folks. I have never even looked at GOOP I just know who Gwyneth Paltrow is. I don't waste time on things that I don't find interesting or don't appeal to me.

+1
I know what GOOP is, and it holds no interest for me. However, I like Gwyneth Paltrow and find her funny. Who knew there are people who hate her, for no real, discernible reason? So bizarre.

WTF indeed. Clearly she's talking about toxic as in bad juju. Like friends and family members can be toxic but not cancerous. Are people really this dense to not understand the basic meaning of simple words?

So much if this thread is just mean girl shnit.

It really is.

People like the PP look for problems where there are none. That is the sign of an angry, unpleasant person.

How is she claiming responsibility for the "mainstreamization of yoga"? Plenty of people become besotted with hobbies and think the world is just as new to it as they are. What does being Jewish have to do with it?

The difference for me is those celebs and there are many more I could name, are are not condescending to their audience. Paltrow tries too hard. These kinds of essays for example that is in the OP.

Damn! The word gorgeous has truly been bastardized . Only someone who has no effing clue what they're talking about,but has convinced themselves they really have pertinent arguments to make would insinuate that what whitherspoon—a wanna-be Martha Stewart , and paltrow —a charlatan with career irrelevance are doing the same thing . WTH

You sound mad. Reese Witherspoon is gorgeous. Odd that it causes such a strong response.

With that pointy witch chin? Pretty she is, but gorgeous she is not.
