Gwyneth Paltrow going to war with Meghan Markle after the Duchess of Sussex became her arch-rival in the lucrative lifestyle industry.
RadarOnline.com has reported the Seven star, whose Goop brand is worth $200million, has weighed in on the comparisons between them following the launch of the royal’s Netflix series, With Love, Meghan, with an icy backhanded compliment.
Paltrow said: “I was raised to see other women as friends, not foes. I think there’s always more than enough to go around,” before adding: “Everybody deserves an attempt at everything that they want to try.”
Paltrow’s has carefully chosen comments regarding the duchess and her new TV series which was panned by critics when it was released earlier this month are up for debate.
Users on social media users were quick to point out that Paltrow was talking to Vanity Fair, the same magazine that tore Meghan and Prince Harry to shreds in January in a waspish report about their business endeavours, of which there have been many, and their home life.
Meghan is not only taking Paltrow on with a TV show, her own Netflix documentary The Goop Lab was released in 2020 and Sex, Love And Goop a year later, she’s also launching a line of lifestyle and wellness products with her As Ever range soon to become available.
She also plans to sell organic honey, shortbread, strawberry spread and edible flowers. Meghan has also applied to trademark textiles, gardening equipment, tableware, cosmetics and pet supplies.
However, some of her plans have already been thwarted, as the budget Chinese clothing brand ASEVER has blocked the duchess from selling clothes under the As Ever umbrella.
Comparatively, Paltrow, embraces her aspirational and, some might say, elitist approach to health and wellness, Meghan, 43, cannot seem to pick a lane.
She insists that she is just like a working mom, but how many parents really have time to grow their own organic fruit and vegetables, sift salt crystals for guestroom bathtubs, make Pinterest-perfect charcuterie boards and also “find the fun” at breakfast by sprinkling flowers on their kids’ food.
Her “out-of-touch” attitude toward domesticity has rattled some viewers, who wish she would just own the fact that she is a multi-millionaire, living a very elevated existence in her Montecito ivory tower.
