Gwyneth Paltrow Slams Rumors About Feud with Meghan Markle in New Interview
It’s not the first time the actress has addressed the rumors. They began swirling on social media earlier this year when the Duchess of Sussex launched her new lifestyle brand and show.

The rumors began after the Goop founder’s Vanity Fair interview in March of this year, during which she admitted she didn’t know Meghan and Prince Harry very well—despite how close they lived to each other.
Gwyneth had met Meghan, and thought she seemed "really lovely," but still didn’t "know her at all."

"Maybe I’ll try to get through their security detail and bring them a pie," she joked. At the time, Meghan had just launched her Netflix show "With Love" and her lifestyle brand As Ever, which drew comparisons to Gwyneth’s own brand, Goop.
Still, Gwyneth felt unthreatened. "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," she said.
On March 25, Gwyneth received a question from a fan on Instagram Stories, asking if she comprehended the "beef" social media said she and Meghan were having.
In a video response, she said, "I genuinely do not understand this at all, whatsoever." She then asked someone off-camera, "Do you understand this?" before panning to Meghan shrugged while eating pie in her kitchen.

In the new interview, one of the hosts touched on all that’s unfolded since the feud rumors began.
In response, she said, "You know what I won’t be at this point in my life? I won’t be a pawn in some drummed up, triangulation of women feud for your f--king clickbait. Leave us out of it. Don’t do that. I will not stand for that."
Gwyneth said she was proud of Meghan and her new business ventures, and wished "nothing but the best" for the royal.
