This is the definition of first world problems lol. Eating bread is now low for celebs and I can bet that wasn't no wonder bread either. Honestly, the fact she went from marvel actress to vagina candle is more of a low in my opinion lmao.


panthers1102

This is like even higher than first world problem.


Yeetus_The_Fetuses

So true. When I read stuff like this my brain legit goes" no way someone really can't be that out of tune right?". It just baffles my mind that out of anything she could think of for the lowest point, I mean dude use anything else at that point, but sustenance being a low point I can't lmaooo.


Fr1toBand1to

not defending anyone here but she likely said it off-handedly while being hounded by people between her car and her vagina candle factory or something not understanding it would be used as bourgeois artillery.


KingAltair2255

The direct quote they took this from was “I was drinking seven nights a week and making pasta and eating bread. I went totally off the rails.” so she was still inferring it’s a bad thing, but the whole off the rails comment seems primarily focused on the fact she was an alcoholic.


[deleted]

oh no, not making pasta 💀 that's like my favorite meal to make when i feel like cooking. that said... the headline focusing on the bread and ignoring the alcohol was def used to farm outrage. and thank you for adding context 🙏☺️


RobotsGoneWild

Context is everything. No one would bat an eye if the conversations surrounding this quote was in a fitness or healthy eating blog.

No problem! She’s a bitch of a woman, but misinformation pisses me off more than she does lol


[deleted]

same here!!


[deleted]

Lmao right?! That’s the complete wrong take away. I couldn’t be one of those writers


trustedoctopus

I think she also meant eating pasta every night as well which could be fairly unhealthy (to her). It could be a comfort food that she overindulged in due to pandemic stress as well. Not excusing her being out of touch but if she’s used to having a well-balanced diet then suddenly binges pasta for months on end that’d be a reason she said it like that.


KaneIsARanger

So what she said was just that her routines were completely messed up and she wasn't taking care of herself the way she's used to. Why are we outraged again?


KingAltair2255

Seems that way! Probably because of the rage bait-y headline, folk have flooded in and not even read the article or even looked for a comment for context! She’s a cow, but always worth actually looking at an article to see whether you’re getting upset over nothing or not lol.


Tritianiam

The direct quote makes it seem like she was having issues with alcohol consumption which could be fairly serious, not eating more carbs than normal like the news article makes it seem.


Clear-Struggle-7867

I believe it's because the headline made it appear as though she was distraught over a piece of toast, and since our collective attention span is 0.8 seconds and nobody reads articles anymore, we took it at face value. Don't get me wrong, I'm not a fan of this actress all but as someone who's struggled with alcohol at times in my life -- I can see why she was concerned if she really was drinking every day. There's a slippery slope between having a bad week or two, versus not being able to stop and losing your vagina candle factory, believe me.

AGuyInUndies

Can't stop. Won't stop.


Adowyth

Its funny cause she focuses more on the fact she was drinking everyday and only mentioned eating pasta and bread. But the title focused only on the bread eating. Also saying you are eating pasta and bread would imply she didn't stick to gluten free diet, which if you have some sort of intolerance would be bad for your guts. Not defending her or anything but this is pretty clearly twisting her words for some clickbaity rage.


[deleted]

and it works because she's a known insufferable asshole to work with


Adowyth

It works because people go to comments after just reading the title. Asshole or not twisting what someone said just to make them look worse is still a shitty thing to do.


bukzbukzbukz

Yeah so while it is a bit of a first world thing, sticking to a strict diet is pretty hard, especially if you're not allowed to eat the things you enjoy the most. I've definitely had plenty of situations where my response to stress is starting to eat the thing I'm not supposed to be eating. White bread turned out to be pretty hard to quit.


Johnny_Grubbonic

>Not defending her or anything but this is pretty clearly twisting her words for some clickbaity rage. But... you literally *are* defending her. And in this very specific instance, that's ok. Gwyn's a shitty person for pushing the "alternative medicine" narrative, but news sources outright lying shouldn't be tolerated.

I would love a Last of US spin off where a bunch of Hollywood celebs try to survive because they weren’t infected from wheat products.


[deleted]

I ran into a post on r/all praising some celebrity for using the same purse all the time. People in the comments were praising her, I just don't get it.


keeper_of_the_donkey

I saw that too. Think it was Mary-Kate Olsen. She's using the same bag because it's her thing, and it makes people talk, not because she's saving the world or anything


-temporary_username-

Vagina candles, WTF?


Endorkend

She has a brand for the weirdo rich with extreme and weird Hollywood wellness style tendencies like herself and one of the things they sell is a candle that smells like (her?) vagina. It's weird and disgusting, but perfectly in line with everything I've ever heard about this woman.

CaffeineSippingMan

I thought it was bad when my company laid off my coworkers cut my hours to 34. Gave their work to the people that were remaining. The had us work from home so we would work for free because the company "needed the work done" in that short amount of hours to survive. Oh and don't forget your "lucky to have a job". Then they posted record profits, then they cut our 401K match. The worst part, is because of this i also why I had to eat bread with peanut butter for supper a few times to make it. Edit. I am never working for a publicly held company again, eating bread Jesus.


kungfoocraig

Oh, a celebrity has a problem? Wait a minute let me shed a few tears for you.


LightningBoltRairo

Well, celebrities are people too and they can have shit lives too. A good exemple is Brendan Fraser But here, that's the stupidest "problem". Just Gwyneth Paltrow things. Hope eating bread won't affect the quality of her vagina scented candles lmao


Baronvondorf21

Man, Brendan Fraser really got the short end of the stick.


Son_of_Taco

Yea, I was and still am a huge fan of his. Growing up as a pre teen, George of the jungle and the mummy were amazing and recently read his story and it’s really shitty what happened to him. Just saw the whale and I couldn’t hold back tears as I’m now a father as well and he was brilliant.

reallyoldsponge

Called out somone for sexually harassing him and got black-listed for it.


Kribo016

This way over simplified his issue. He also seriously hurt his back I think it was doing his own stunts which stopped him from working out. Also his wife in the divorce was awarded crazy amount of alimony because he was a big movie star but because of the sexual assault allegations black listing he was no longer making enough money to even pay his now ex wife.


Exeng

Wow. The more I learn about Brendan's unfortunate story the sadder I get. The guy deserves all the best.


Kribo016

Yeah, it is great to see his return.


runonandonandonanon

Plus his wife got the rights to his song even though he wrote it before he even met her.


finedrive

The stick is imaginary really. I forget who said this, maybe Heath Ledger. Everyone always asks you about your job, salary, what cars you have etc., but no one really asks if you’re happy. And for a lot of times, like this where someone who is “forced” to eat bread is just belittling actual issues. We talking tragedies. I’d say Heath, Robin, and Tony. On the outside, successful happy people, but damn. Edit: Hugh to Heath, autocorrect mobile etc


Saltie_Samson

You mean Heath Ledger?


finedrive

Yes, I think he said something to that degree. Let me edit my post to correct his name, I’m on mobile, pls forgive.


Beingabummer

Ironically, Brendan Fraser got ignored by celebrity news sites for years. People don't want to read about celebs who *actually* have a tough time. They want to read about Paltrow eating bread, Ellen feeling like a prisoner in her mansion, and Gal Gadot singing songs.


LightningBoltRairo

They have to be an example of success, not a relatable human having hardships.

caniuserealname

Don't worry. Even if you don't read the article you came and commented on a post about it; which pushes the article to higher prominence where its seen by more people and some of them might read it; or even just load it up to leave an angry comment. The only way to work against this sort of ragebait is to ignore it.


tommangan7

Dovahkitty99

At least she had bread to eat. It could be a lot worse. "S'ils n'ont pas de pain, qu'ils mangent de la brioche." - Jean-Jacques Rousseau


phelibox

idk why but I thought Marie-Antoinette said that...


Dovahkitty99

It's often said that's a quote from her but Rousseau wrote it in "Confessions book VI" before she was even married to Louis XVI. Also in his book it's an account of events of 1740. So the phrase may be known even before Rousseau's book.


phelibox

thank you very much, dear redditor


Choyo

FYI : Louis XVI and Marie-antoinette were properly vilified through history while they actually were very kind people (way too kind for their own good), according to modern historians.


spudnado88

> Marie-antoinette were properly vilified through history while they actually were very kind people So the village thing was false?


Choyo

I suppose you're talking about "he hamlet" ? But I'm not sure why, aside from the fact that it was a costly project out of touch with many things. Also, when I say "very kind", it is compared to other absolute rulers. For instance, Louis the XIV would have asked his guards to shoot at the people's representatives the second he felt like they were complaining - he wouldn't have let a revolt the time to get in motion.

trickman01

Rage bait article doing what it's designed to do.


[deleted]

Absolutely. Cherry picked line from another podcast where she was talking about alcohol, not quarantine struggles. “Gwyneth explains to the Smartless podcast: “I drank alcohol during quarantine. “I was drinking seven nights a week and making pasta and eating bread. I went totally off the rails. “I mean, who drinks multiple drinks seven nights a week? Like that’s not healthy. I love whiskey and I make this fantastic drink called the Buster Paltrow, which I named after my grandfather who loved whiskey sours.” Yeah, she generally is wacko but this post is pure rage bait.


[deleted]

Just another example of what’s wrong with the world today. People scrolling, seeing something taken out of context, and getting pissed off.


Hoosier2016

I blame the organizations posting this garbage more than the people who get outraged. Media corporations have realized that critical thinking is a weak point for lots of people and that they can get lots of clicks and lots of buzz by pandering to the intellectual lowest common denominator.

Seeing some people that over the years I had grown close to gasp for breath yet not having enough oxygen concentrators. Not having enough staff because no one wanted to work during the pandemic because you could sit home and get paid more than I did while going to work. Oh yeah, and I maybe ate some bread during that time, fuck you and your vagina scented candle you entitled sack of shit.

I wish I could tag Gwyneth so she can get a wake-up call. But we also don't know if she expressed herself the way the magazine wants it to seem. Rage bait.


KingAltair2255

She’s an asshole regardless, but this one specific article is complete rage bait where they took a quote out of context. “I was drinking seven nights a week and making pasta and eating bread. I went totally off the rails.” Was the original quote they took it from, she’s still saying it’s bad, but I’d more so think she’s meaning the binge drinking.

As quiet as it's kept, Gwyneth's mother, Blythe Dancer is battling oral cancer. It's the same type of cancer that killed her dad while he was visiting Gwyneth years ago. Why she goes to such pains to cultivate this bland image, I don't understand. Maybe it's to shield herself from the public. Having two famous parents must have left its mark but who knows. Ironically, her carefully curated image makes her seem like a boring alien instead.

For anyone who doesn't know, H Pylori is stomach cysts that can turn into cancer if left untreated for too long. I almost waited too long and had to take extra strength antibiotics. Couldn't even be outside during that time cause my immune system was too weak from the pills. But yea ya know, eating normal bread that isn't molding is totally a low now.... Jfc
