Gwyneth Paltrow is straight-up trolling her critics now

At one point, there was a plan for US Condé Nast, publisher of the New Yorker and many others, to publish a regular Goop magazine – but that fell through. Why? Well, according to Paltrow, because Condé Nast does things “in a very old-school way” and by “old-school” I think she means “actually fact-checks things so they don’t publish a load of garbage”. Condé Nast just wouldn’t publish health recommendations made by Goop’s “healers” that weren’t backed up by actual, y’know, science. Like, for example, steaming your vagina and sticking a jade egg up it, both of which Goop recommended and both of which were thoroughly and entertainingly debunked by gynaecologist Jen Gunter.

Sorry, Gwyneth Paltrow, but steaming your vagina is a bad idea

Paltrow’s lifestyle site goop.com recommends an “infrared and mugwort steam” treatment. Dr Ann Robinson suggests you think before straddling the kettle

Corboy note:

How many blokes would do this to themselves?

This whole scenario and business makes me cringe, I hope it’s shut down soon.

Apparently, the UK Royals who just left for Canada are planning a similar business, maybe minus scented candles of specific body parts though on the same ‘wellness’ type lines.

It is an awful trend which I think is only fuelled by the fact that Gwyneth is free to carry on with hers and despite the BS, hasn’t been shut down.
