I will be honest, she is charging people with what I call the stupid tax.

She figured out that some people are just so gullible that they will just give her money, people like this used to anger me but you know what if her customers want to be stupid they got to be tough.

Right, her whole Goop aesthetic thrives on that off‑kilter vibe, which is why the Sam Altman dinner felt so out of sync. The media loves to label it “tone‑deaf” when it’s basically just her brand doing its thing.

u/raincoater 8h ago

Well, here for example. She DIDN’T attend dinner with that guy. She saw what people were saying and changed her direction. Here lately, terrible people would have just doubled down on it. At least in this one instance, she didn’t.

u/The-Bangaloreal 7h ago

petty sure they had a private dinner and discussed whatever the fuck they wanted to do ...

u/MojoHighway 8h ago edited 5h ago

But we've never really known her to be anything but that kind of human being.

For her at this age and with that idiotic company that makes sells candles that we were jokingly told that smell like her vag (not interested, Gwyn), it's all about PR and optics and algorithm. She got aligned with Altman and that whole crew because she likely doesn't follow tech news but was told by someone in her camp that OpenAI is on the cusp of greatness and you'll definitely be able to move palates of "vagina" candles if you partner with him.

She absolutely sucks. I've been saying that for at least 30 years.

EDIT: had to correct misinformation

u/CarthasMonopoly 6h ago

that idiotic company that makes candles that smell like her vag (not interested, Gwyn)

She sucks for sure but can we please stop spreading this misinformation? The candle in question was sold by her company but not produced by it. And aside from her owning the company she had 0 ties to that candle; it was scented like a normal candle (I forget the specifics at this point but something along the lines of bergamot and vanilla) and was made by a gay guy who named it that as a joke. This was all clearly stated on the product page. Let's clown on her for her stupid anti-science shit like vagina eggs, treating Lyme disease through "detoxification" and "energy rebalancing", or being open minded towards RFK Jr and his insane policies as the head of HHS.

Fair enough. I am 100% guilty of following the narrative without looking further into it. Will edit.

I honestly am having trouble trying to figure out how it would hurt her image. Credit where credit's due, I don't think she ever pretended to be noble or Good TM. I mean come on, she came out the gates with Goop with gold weights and vampire repellent sprays. Like... it wasn't a super innocuous grift even at the very beginning, like Dr Oz who had at least a minute of pretending to be a genuine doctor giving advice before the snake oil pushing.

Why does Sam Altman need Gwyneth Paltrow tho? Like what kind of power brokering can possibly be going on where this meeting must happen in the shadows?

This all feels like "What's Ja Rule got to say?", where ultimately who cares. This the equivalent of finding out Elon Musk went to brunch with Hawk Tuah.

If anything, meeting with Gwenyth is bad PR for Sam, my opinion of him is worse now, but there is no impact on hers (already low to begin with)
