Gwyneth Paltrow Reportedly Made Disparaging Comments About Brad Pitt After Their Breakup
Paltrow and Pitt were engaged before splitting in 1997.
This isn't just your average breakup bitterness. Gwyneth Paltrow did not take Brad Pitt’s fairy tale wedding to Jennifer Aniston lying down, and no, this isn't just your average breakup bitterness. According to a sizzling new biography by Amy Odell, Gwyneth may have smiled for the cameras after their 1997 breakup, but behind the scenes? Sis was fuming. At the 2000 Toronto Film Festival, when asked about Brad and Jen’s shiny new marriage, Gwyneth reportedly glared so hard her eyes “turned to daggers.” Her icy response? “Are you really asking me this question?” But the real shade didn’t stop there.
Behind closed doors, Gwyneth allegedly told her inner circle she was crushed, and that Brad, in her words, “has terrible taste in women.” (Yes, that’s a direct hit at America’s sweetheart Jennifer Aniston. Yikes!)
But hold on, it gets even juicier. At a fancy dinner with Estée Lauder heiress Aerin Lauder, Gwyneth apparently dropped this gem while discussing Brad: “He’s dumber than a sack of sht.”* Whew! That’s not shade, that’s a full-blown eclipse.
Amy Odell claims the root of their fallout was a massive culture clash. Gwyneth was Manhattan private-school glam, while Brad was Missouri-born and raised in a religious household. She reportedly thought he just wasn’t on her level, socially, intellectually, or culturally.
And here’s the kicker: this all comes from someone who once called Brad “the love of her life.” So the next time you see Gwyneth lighting a $75 candle called “This Smells Like My Revenge,” just know, it may be inspired by the ultimate Hollywood heartbreak.
