How Gwyneth Paltrow Became So Hated In Hollywood

Publish date: 2024-03-18

As we just mentioned, Paltrow's GOOP newsletter, which has since grown into a full-blown lifestyle site, is known for it's outrageous product recommendations. But the controversy isn't always just about the pricetag. For example, GOOP came under fire after promoting jade eggs that get inserted into the vagina for the purported benefits of everything from improved sex to the creation of "kidney strength." Except real medical doctors, like gynecologist Jen Gunter, tore those claims to pieces, even going so far as to write, "I read the post on GOOP and all I can tell you is it is the biggest load of garbage I have read on your site since vaginal steaming."

So, it shouldn't be a huge surprise that when GOOP began promoting Body Vibes stickers, which according to Gizmodo, claimed to use "NASA space suit material" to "rebalance the energy frequency in our bodies," it turned out to be just like the jade eggs. Two different NASA representatives told Gizmodo there was absolutely zero merit to the claim, one bluntly categorizing it at "a load of BS."

To their credit, Body Vibes pulled the NASA-related claim, saying it was an error that happened when their "engineer was misinformed by a distributor about the material in question." GOOP also pulled the claim from their site, but included the following line in their backtracking statement: "Our content is meant to highlight unique products and offerings, find open-minded alternatives, and encourage conversation." In other words, as is the case with their founder, whether people love or hate GOOP, they're talking about GOOP, and at the end of the day, that's good for GOOP.
