Gwyneth Paltrow can’t even be trusted to remember her multi-million dollar business partners. Why does anyone trust Goop with their health?

  • Gwyneth Paltrow was recently featured in an interview promoting her lifestyle brands latest event.
  • She entirely forgot what cruise line was hosting the Goop event.
  • Paltrow cannot be trusted to remember basic facts about her own business. Let alone be trusted with your health.

Gwyneth Paltrow never seemed destined to become a controversial celebrity. But after making her mark on Hollywood, she appears determined to unwind every iota of goodwill that she earned through her work on the silver screen.
Shes always been known to say some really stupid stuff, but her off-screen persona has become particularly troubling since she launched her own lifestyle company, Goop.
Gwenyth Paltrows Latest Goop Flub Belongs in the Gaffe Hall-of-Fame
Recently, Paltrow appeared on Late Night With Seth Meyers to promote her new Netflix show, The Goop Lab. During the interview, she announced a new Goop at Sea event and true to form she was completely useless at remembering who exactly was involved in the project.
After flubbing several attempts to state what cruise line Goop had partnered with, she joked that she was on mushrooms and asked an off-screen assistant for help.
Sure, everyone makes mistakes. But Paltrow makes a lot of them.
Thats disconcerting since she and Goop expect customers to trust them with their well-being.
Especially because all shes doing is selling glorified, overpriced snake oil.

Take a look at Goops website, and youll immediately see what Im talking about. Under the wellness tab, youll find some of the worlds most ridiculous products at even more outrageous prices.
A bottle of He Shou Wu will set you back $59 and possibly destroy your liver.
Perhaps you would prefer a bottle of Psychic Vampire Repellent? Thatll only set you back $27 for a bottle of sonically tuned water and various oils, herbs, and crystals.

Apart from the fact that Psychic Vampire Repellent is just a ridiculous product, what Goop is essentially selling is healing water. You might remember this was a fad in Russia during the 1990s and was famously debunked by James Randi in an episode of Nova.
And the products only get weirder:
Gwyneth Paltrow Is Either Stupid or a Fraud
After scrolling through pages of provably-pointless megadoses of vitamins and sonically attuned stickers, you can reach only one conclusion: Gwyneth Paltrow is basically scamming people. Either that, or shes stupid.
She claims to promote health. But then people who actually have a medical or scientific background come along and expose her for what she is a modern-day snake oil salesman. The only reason Goop is a successful brand at all is that Paltrows a celebrity.
She cant even hold it together long enough to remember the companies shes fallen butt-first into working with. Luckily for her, the scary truth is that people will swallow a lot of literal rubbish when theyve seen you on the silver screen.
