Gwyneth Paltrow and Meghan Markle poke fun at 'feud' with Instagram story
The pair, who are neighbours, had fun with their fans on Tuesday, joking about the feud after the Shakespeare in Love actress said she didn’t know her Montecito neighbour "at all".
Gwyneth Paltrow and Meghan Markle have proved rumours of a beef between the pair are nonsense as they took to social media to poke fun at those spreading gossip about them.
The pair, who are neighbours, had fun with their fans on Tuesday, joking about the feud after the Shakespeare in Love actress said she didn’t know her Montecito neighbour "at all."
Fans believed the famous pair threw subtle swipes at one another in recent posts.
"I genuinely do not understand this at all whatsoever," the Goop founder said in a video on her Instagram story while answering fans for an "Ask me a question" segment.
A fan asked: "Are you comprehending the Meghan Markle beef that social media says you two have?"
Paltrow then panned her phone to the left, revealing a shrugging Markle sitting at her kitchen table eating a piece of pie before starting to laugh.
Markle also posted the video to her Instagram story.
Paltrow, 52, recently did an interview with Vanity Fair in which she told the magazine: "I don’t know Meghan and Harry," who also live in Montecito, California. "I mean, I’ve met Meghan, who seems really lovely, but I don’t know her at all.
"Maybe I’ll try to get through their security detail and bring them a pie."
Paltrow, who also found her way to the lifestyle space after an acting career, told Vanity Fair she wasn’t overly familiar with Markle’s widely panned Netflix show, With Love, Meghan or her lifestyle brand "As Ever" but was inclined to support her.
Referring to the backlash Markle has received, Paltrow said when "there’s noise about certain women in the culture, I do have, always, a strong instinct to stand up for them."
Paltrow also admitted she feels Meghan should be allowed to pursue her bid to establish herself as a lifestyle brand.
“I don’t know Meghan and Harry,” Paltrow said. “I mean, I’ve met Meghan, who seems really lovely, but I don’t know her at all. Maybe I’ll try to get through their security detail and bring them a pie.”
Asked about Meghan’s Netflix show, With Love, Meghan, Gwyneth added: “There’s noise about certain women in the culture, I do have, always, a strong instinct to stand up for them.
“I was raised to see other women as friends, not foes. I think there’s always more than enough to go around. Everybody deserves an attempt at everything that they want to try.”
