Gwyneth Paltrow has been slammed for her “dangerous” eating habits, after sharing details of her diet on a podcast.
The Hollywood actress, 50, revealed that she consumes bone broth most days as meals and regularly participates in intermittent fasting.
Model and body positivity activist Tess Holliday accused Paltrow of “glorifying” eating disorders as she reposted a clip from the Goop founder’s podcast interview on TikTok.
Paltrow said on The Art of Being Well With Dr. Cole podcast: “I eat dinner early in the evening. I do a nice intermittent fast.
“So I have coffee, but I really like soup for lunch. I have bone broth for lunch a lot of the days.”
Holliday, 37, criticised Paltrow as she said: “What I find most mental about this is that we’ve known for years that she is okay with glorifying her eating disorder.
“And I’m not judging, because I have an eating disorder.
“Bone broth is not a suitable meal. And then to end your day with just eating vegetables, but yet people continue to give her airtime, to give her a platform, to take her advice because everyone is too afraid to be fat.”
The US model then recalled a time Paltrow shared her meal of choice at an industry party, and called out the star’s food option as being “not normal”.
“[Gwyneth] loudly had to let everyone know in this very tiny room with Natalie Portman, Catherine O’Hara, you name it they were there, that her and her close friends were gonna have something different,” Holliday shared.
“Pizza. But not just any pizza. Cauliflower crust pizza with no cheese.
“And I’m not shading anyone that likes cauliflower pizza, go on do your thing, but everyone just laughed like it was no big deal.”
While Holliday said she wasn’t here to “judge what people put in their bodies”, she added that the young generation, “who think eating like GP is appropriate”, are being affected with self-esteem issues tied to their eating habits as a result.
“I’m not saying that I have all the answers and I have it figured out because I sure the hell don’t,” Holliday continued.
“But with all the talk about Ozempic and all these other weight loss drugs, it’s exhausting.”
Fans agreed with Holliday’s concerns, as one commented: “There was NO one speaking up for women being body positive for so long, this message is so important”.
A second said: “Carbs are not the devil, fat isn’t bad and I mean fat in your food and fat on your body. It’s not bad.”
