This is literally how every thread about women on the entertainment forum goes. Some people like Celebrity X and some don't. If you criticize Meghan Markle you are a racist bitter shrew who wishes Harry married you. If you don't like Hilaria Baldwin you are jealous. The Bindi Irwin thread is a dumpster fire for some reason. Wash, rinse, repeat. But, to be fair, most (not all) comments about these women, and certainly in this GP thread, are about their looks and nothing else of substance. Too blond, basic, boring, had plastic surgery, thin, white, WASPy. Men don't attack other men for extra pounds, thinning hair, wrinkles, aging badly, etc.

Listen I agree with you about the way this thread treats women. 100%. But Gwyneth Paltrow has been saying something out of touch, pimping some tyle of dr oz nonsense, or talking about how she'll only ever use la mer facecream and doesn't understand why anyone wouldn't for decades. She is, uniquely, someone almost universally thought to be elitist and arrogant.

The dislike of her isn't based on her gender, or her race, or her religion, or her body, its based on her words and actions and how she profits off misleading people.

How is she misleading people? If you can't afford La Mer face cream then don't buy it. She is rich. La Mer face cream is for rich people, not the rest of us.

She regularly does things that imply she just can’t conceive of why someone wouldn’t buy it (like they need to pay rent). If she was just a rich lady using la mer no one would care. If she was yelling just rich people to use la mer no one would care. But she acts like she provides more universal advice, she frames her brand as accessible. But it is not, so she comes across as elitist and out of touch. Who on earth doesn’t understand that the vast majority of the country cannot purchase la mer? Someone out of touch who has never wanted for money.

Come on. All the bloggers do this. They regularly buy crap they can't afford, pose with it with tags still attached but hidden, and then return it. Is that not promoting an unaffordable lifestyle and just a big fat lie? Gwyneth is not evil and tricking people any more than any other lifestyle guru wannabe.

GP has a far larger platform than the average influencer. And she can afford this stuff. It is nothing to her to buy almost any material item. She is not actually buying a Carolina Herrera and keeping the tags on until she can return it. She’s buying 20k worth of Carolina Herrera and saying you just have to to because she sells the softest shirts! Not because she’s trying to be aspirational but because she literally doesn’t understand the kind of life where one cannot spend $450 on a button down. She acts like the difference between gap and Gucci is personal preference. That obliviousness is offensive to many.

She also doesn’t just try to hawk crap like la mer (she one recommended a 15k vibrator!), she also offers medical advice. Bad medical advice that actual doctors frequently, strongly, disagree with. And she takes credit for mainstreaming things like yoga, a centuries old discipline! She believes she’s that important and that level of self absorption just turns people off.

So Once again she’s an elitist, out of touch, arrogant snake oil salesmen

I find her amusing. She's so out of touch it's laughable.

You need to work on your sense of humor. Nobody is going bankrupt blindly following orders from GOOP. Why do you presume people are taking this so seriously? You seem obsessed hating on her and hanging on to her every word like its gospel.

She's essentially the Hollywood female version of Alex Jones, selling obscenely priced snake oil to gullible morons.

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.

Both peddle overpriced snake oil to gullible saps while pretending to be experts, even though both dropped out of college. Peas in a pod.

You are extremely odd.

And the rest of the PP's post is utter nonsense. Paltrow has never questioned anyone else's skincare routine or anything else, for that matter. She's allowed to tell the world about products she likes - we can either take it or leave it. I don't pay any attention to GOOP, but I do like her as an actress and she seems to be a nice person and a good mom. The hate directed towards her is completely looney.

Exactly the same tone as the weirdos who insist Kate Middleton "stalked" William. Bizarre, jealous wenches.

WTF? She's not pretending she shops at Old Navy, dolt. The people who follow GOOP's brand and actually buy her recommendations have money. She doesn't pretend otherwise, nor should she have to. If it disturbs you so much, I suggest you get a hobby that will distract you.

Oh, honey. You have deep, deep insecurity issues if you think she's talking to you (or anyone else) and saying anything of the sort. She is simply talking about products she enjoys, like any other blogger (as another poster pointed out). There seems to be something deeply wrong with you to take all of this so very personally. Do you react this way to every celebrity who has a "brand" or sells something? Do you get upset that Jennifer Garner is "hawking" Neutrogena and "telling" you to buy it? How about Eva Longoria "hawking" L'Oreal? PLEASE seek help and stop using the term "snake oil salesman" over and over. You just sound like an idiot with a huge chip on your shoulder.

There is an entire cultural movement enraged at people who’ve don’t understand the value of a dollar to someone who has none. And that has nothing to do with her face.

How is she misleading people? If you can't afford La Mer face cream then don't buy it. She is rich. La Mer face cream is for rich people, not the rest of us.

She regularly does things that imply she just can’t conceive of why someone wouldn’t buy it (like they need to pay rent). If she was just a rich lady using la mer no one would care. If she was yelling just rich people to use la mer no one would care. But she acts like she provides more universal advice, she frames her brand as accessible. But it is not, so she comes across as elitist and out of touch. Who on earth doesn’t understand that the vast majority of the country cannot purchase la mer? Someone out of touch who has never wanted for money.

Come on. All the bloggers do this. They regularly buy crap they can't afford, pose with it with tags still attached but hidden, and then return it. Is that not promoting an unaffordable lifestyle and just a big fat lie? Gwyneth is not evil and tricking people any more than any other lifestyle guru wannabe.

GP has a far larger platform than the average influencer. And she can afford this stuff. It is nothing to her to buy almost any material item. She is not actually buying a Carolina Herrera and keeping the tags on until she can return it. She’s buying 20k worth of Carolina Herrera and saying you just have to to because she sells the softest shirts! Not because she’s trying to be aspirational but because she literally doesn’t understand the kind of life where one cannot spend $450 on a button down. She acts like the difference between gap and Gucci is personal preference. That obliviousness is offensive to many.

She also doesn’t just try to hawk crap like la mer (she one recommended a 15k vibrator!), she also offers medical advice. Bad medical advice that actual doctors frequently, strongly, disagree with. And she takes credit for mainstreaming things like yoga, a centuries old discipline! She believes she’s that important and that level of self absorption just turns people off.

So Once again she’s an elitist, out of touch, arrogant snake oil salesmen

Oh, honey. You have deep, deep insecurity issues if you think she's talking to you (or anyone else) and saying anything of the sort. She is simply talking about products she enjoys, like any other blogger (as another poster pointed out). There seems to be something deeply wrong with you to take all of this so very personally. Do you react this way to every celebrity who has a "brand" or sells something? Do you get upset that Jennifer Garner is "hawking" Neutrogena and "telling" you to buy it? How about Eva Longoria "hawking" L'Oreal? PLEASE seek help and stop using the term "snake oil salesman" over and over. You just sound like an idiot with a huge chip on your shoulder.

You mistake my rage at the consolidation of wealth in this country, a consolidation that grows by the day and results in children starving and people unable to afford their medications or their children’s education as ‘insecurity’

There is an entire cultural movement enraged at people who’ve don’t understand the value of a dollar to someone who has none. And that has nothing to do with her face.

Let me get in on this rage.

Off I go to follow her on IG and look at GOOP.
