Gwyneth Paltrow is addressing the book, “Gwyneth: The Biography,” by Amy Odell.
The 53-year-old actress has spoken out about the biography that was released over the summer, which she did not participate in, calling the author a “hack” who missed “everything.”

“She totally missed everything, the truth of who I am, what my impact is,” she told British Vogue, adding that while she didn’t read it, her husband Brad Falchuk did. “He was like, ‘It’s just bad. It’s really badly written.’ I was like, ‘Ok.’ The stuff that I saw in People magazine, and [other outlets that picked it up], it was all rubbish, the things that I supposedly said.”
“It’s very sexist. I was like, ‘Ok, hang on a sec. Why do the men get Walter Isaacson and I get this hack?’ You know?” she added.
A specific part of the book that she didn’t like is anonymous sources claiming her leadership at Goop inspired “chaos” internally.
“That bothers me. ‘Oh, Goop has a toxic culture.’ That drives me insane because we have never had that,” the actress said. “Granted we’ve had a couple of toxic people and, because of my fear of confrontation, maybe I didn’t deal with it quickly enough. That does cascade down and I totally take responsibility for that. But we are such a good culture. We are. It’s something that I am so proud of and worked so hard on.”
“Of course, I’m going to say: ‘It’s not a toxic culture.’ Of course!” Gwyneth continued. “We are all human beings who go to work, sometimes with unresolved stuff and that comes out. People can have bad work experiences anywhere. But I can guarantee if I dropped you into the Goop office in Santa Monica, you’d be like: ‘What the f–k are these people talking about?’ You would see really engaged, really brilliant, highly collaborative teams who are excited. So I don’t like that kind of stuff – it impacts the team.”
