Gwyneth Paltrow Is Full of Regret While Eating Spicy Wings | Hot Ones

I went into this highly skeptical. I've probably at some point made a derogatory comment about Gwyneth Paltrow. Now I'm wondering if we should all be steaming our vaginas.

Edit: You guys are a hoot. Thanks to those who saw my point. If you didn't, then that's cool too. I'll check back later.

I see this more as a PR stunt to try and fix people's view on her after everyone worked out she's a snake oil salesmen now.
- Did you watch the video?
  
  I'll watch it after work, but I'll take everything she says with a grain of salt, she's a proven liar when it comes to herself and her business.
  
  I rather not feed her attention
Why even have her on hot wings? She doesn’t act, is barely in the Hollywood/pop culture landscape and now runs a company selling bullshit to people. Is old mate that hard up for people to go on the show?
- On hot wings? Are you 65 years old by chance?
  
  Old for mistyping wings instead of ones. Not old, replying to a two day old post. Totally checks out.
- Sure, but everybody is hustling somebody. That's the world we live in. What about her hustle makes her worse than others?
  
  No, not everyone is hustling someone. What a wrong, depressing view of the world. I don't think even the majority are.

  Sounds like an excuse for acting like an asshole.
  
  Well, I guess if we sidestep moral accountability for a moment, it doesn’t really make sense is why I bitch. We’re not exactly going to get anything out of it apart from a glance back at her career because it’s not like she’s on the show to promote anything. So my point is what is old mate getting out of it? If he’s just trading interviews for brand exposure now it doesn’t bid well for his show.
Disappointed in Hot Ones for hosting this psycho
- I'm not a fan of Paltro, but... Really?
  Do you honestly expect a YouTube channel that makes mid to moderately famous people eat spicy food to be a paragon of journalistic integrity? That's just silly.
  Also, yes she is parody of herself, but personally I reserve that level of vitriol for the Bezeoss and Rumsfelds of the world.
  
  Scamming people who need real medical help into thinking bullshit products will cure them of issues, when in reality they could even cause them harm, is definitely deserving of vitriol.
- Psycho? Really? Isn't that a little harsh my friend?
  Edit: Don't downvote me. Use your words! I'm curious.
  Edit #2: OK it's on me. Saying "Don't downvote me" is like wearing a "kick me" sign. I don't care about the karma. I'd prefer comments. Or downvote and then comment. 😆
  
  Not harsh enough. I originally called her something different but wasn't sure if I was breaking any rules and didn't want to get banned.

Hot Ones used to have interesting guests and interesting, deep dive, questions. This season really feels like it jumped the shark. Just PR for people who don't need it or deserve it.
- I highly doubt every guest before this season you actually respected.
- Did you watch the video? I thought Sean was great.
  
  Sean is always fine. The research level seems to have dropped the more popular it's become. Which is weird. And no, I did not watch it. I don't give a milky shit for Paltrow.
Meh, host lost it after people found out he was dating a porn star... real classy.

- What's wrong with dating a porn star?
  
  Nothing, thats my point that he's a jackass for dumping her when their relationship went public
- To be fair to him, if someone wants to keep their life private because they're in the public eye, you shouldn't disrespect that.
  I mean, he was punching above his weight there, but it's not unreasonable to want some privacy before something becomes serious.
- I probably won't click on that but you've got an honest face so I'll believe you.
Didn't read the title and thought, from a thumbnail, it was Lisa Kudrow. This got my hopes up really high, but then I saw it was vagina candle inventor.
Interesting how the reaction is split so far. It occurs to me that lots of celebrities have sold sketchy shit, but female celebrities get grief over it. Did Matt Damon get cancelled over his crypto Superbowl ad? Food for thought, guys.

  Dr. Oz seems like a great example in line with her. They both made bogus claims about snake oil products that don't provide the benefits claimed.
  Did Matt Damon get cancelled over his crypto Superbowl ad? Food for thought, guys.
  Damon did an ad as a spokesperson. Crypto is inherently risky; it's a currency based on nothing that people just made up. Unless I'm missing something, I don't even know how they're comparable.
  
  Idk vagina candle sounds pretty risky to me. 😉
- I strongly dislike Matt Damon now, so for me, this has nothing to do with gender.
  
  I'm sure that's true. Can you see my point, though? How'd Gwyneth Paltrow get to be Super Hitler? 😆
- You’ve just tapped into the lemmyverse hatred hive mind. It’s easy to do. Other than a vagina candle I don’t know a whole lot about her. Hating someone for being a hustler and making $$$ is wild.
  
  My man/woman/person! 🫸🫷
