Some trashy celebrity sites (looking at you, Daily Mail) created a ‘beef’ between Gwyneth Paltrow and Meghan Markle, trying to stir up a rumor that they were jealous of each other because of their similar lifestyle brands.
The Goop founder and CEO—who often conducts question-and-answer sessions on her IG stories—cleverly used the interactive format to address one follower’s question about her relationship with the Duchess of Sussex.
“Are you comprehending the Meghan Markle beef that social media says you two have?” one fan inquired.
“I genuinely do not understand this at all, whatsoever,” Paltrow said directly to the camera while standing in a kitchen where you could hear noises beside her.
The actress/lifestyle guru then turned to someone sitting off-camera beside her and asked, “Do you understand this?”
As the camera panned, Meghan appeared onscreen, sitting comfortably at the same kitchen table, her mouth full of pie, and gesticulating that she didn’t understand either.
“I was raised to see other women as friends, not foes,” Paltrow added. “I think there’s always more than enough to go around. Everybody deserves an attempt at everything that they want to try.”
