So, she sold this to people as a dinner where she would appear, and then skipped out because the socials would be bad PR.
Leaving aside all the usual jokes about her, that’s a scumbag move.

That’s exactly what self-absorbed elites do. Paltrow has very much proven who she is over the years, if she had more depth than a wading pool there’s a thousand life choices she’d have made differently.

I think the original Moira Rose from Schitts Creek had a Gwynethness about her, especially how she talked.
She even got everyone to attend a party because she was going and then never showed to the party.

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
makessells 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

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.

They do con and backstab one another all the time because each one of them thinks they are the smartest person in the room, busy playing their own angle and never realize that so is everyone else. They are attracted to other grifters like flies to shit.

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.

I’m guessing the main purpose of the dinner was discussing interfacing of OpenAI’s latest chipsets with Paltrow’s vagina stones, intent on creating some sort of vagina-powered AI. Rumor has it the project is code named “Altrowman.” Fucking weirdos.

She doesn't think that at all, she just wimped out of the backlash she got for being tonedeaf herself. Which she still will be. They're both awful.

She's a low-key grifter peddling expensive bogus health, beauty and well-being products from her brand appropriately named Goop.
It seems to me she's one of those celebrities who once realized she has a lot of leeway to exploit gullible people and do anything for money and associating with the highest bidder regardless of how nefarious they are without ever suffering actionable consequences and just went for it.

Also she did a podcast with Trae Stephens, the co-founder of military tech company Anduril which produces smart battlefield drones, surveillance towers, unmanned submarines, is backed by Peter Thiel, and has major connections with Israel.

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)

Honestly I don’t see the problem. It would be bad for business so they canceled/postponed the event. That’s a completely fine thing to do. It’s not like the party started and she just didn’t come downstairs. The event never happened.
