Meghan Markle has once again found herself humiliated, this time by the queen of subtle trolling, Gwyneth Paltrow.
It's clear that Meghan is out of her league here. Gwyneth, with her wildly successful lifestyle brand and an acting career that truly matters, has little patience for Meghan's attempts to elbow her way into the A-list. Gwyneth has made it perfectly clear that there is no space for Meghan in the elite American Riviera lifestyle scene.
Recently, Gwyneth hosted a flawlessly organized event at a property, promoting her lifestyle brand in collaboration with an Italian company. This soirée, dripping with subtle digs aimed squarely at Meghan, was attended by many of Meghan's so-called friends. References to the American Riviera and scenic photos under lemon trees set the stage, but the crowning moment was Gwyneth's quip, "I promise everyone will be in bed by 9," which sent the rich crowd into fits of laughter. The guest list was a who's who of A-listers: Oprah Winfrey, Gayle King, Nicole Avant, Ted Sarandos, even Netflix’s head honcho Reed Hastings, Rob and Cheryl Lowe, Whitney Wolfe Herd and her husband. All of these individuals are supposedly Meghan's pals, yet the message from Gwyneth was loud and clear, and everyone picked up on the snubs.
But wait, there's more. It was Lilibet's third birthday recently, and Meghan, ever desperate for attention, leaked to one of her compliant publications that a birthday bash had taken place. Of course, no actual details about the party, presents, or theme were provided. Supposedly, Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom were guests, according to Tom Quinn. However, internet sleuths quickly dismantled this fantasy when they pointed out that Katy Perry was performing in Cannes, France, on Friday night, making it impossible for her to attend a party in California the next day. This revelation exposed Meghan's tale for what it was.
Seizing the moment, Gwyneth trolled Meghan further. On the Sunday after Lilibet's supposed birthday party, Gwyneth was photographed with Katy Perry and her daughter at the botanical gardens in Santa Barbara. The detailed article accompanying the photos underscored Gwyneth's superior social influence. Katy Perry wasn't at Meghan's imaginary party; she was enjoying a day out with Gwyneth instead. This strategic move by Gwyneth not only highlighted Meghan's fabrications but also showcased that Katy Perry prefers Gwyneth's company.
The photos, snapped by Backgrid, Meghan's favorite paparazzi crew, were a masterstroke, asserting Gwyneth's dominance and ridiculing Meghan's desperate bid for popularity. Gwyneth's outing with Katy Perry was a brilliant display of star power, proving Meghan's attempts to infiltrate the A-list were an epic fail. The resulting chaos in Montecito must have been spectacular, with Meghan undoubtedly throwing a tantrum. Once again, Meghan's inability to keep a story straight has backfired spectacularly.
And just when you thought Gwyneth was done, she teams up with Tracee Ellis Ross, another recipient of Meghan's infamous jam jars, for a hilarious shopping spree on June 6th. The duo celebrated their product lines hitting Target shelves with a fun-filled trip, answering fan questions and buying matching outfits. The joint post on Instagram reads, "Gwyneth Paltrow and Tracee Ellis Ross Take @TargetStyle from matching bestie sets to terracotta pots and blow dryers to moisturizers.
Their haul truly has it all. Find Pattern Beauty at Ulta Beauty at Target and pick up some Good Clean Goop on your next Target run." Gwyneth is flexing her Montecito muscle, showing she knows exactly how to protect her backyard from unwanted intruders. Throw a party without Meghan, hang out with Katy Perry instead of attending Lilibet’s party, and now she’s out with one of the jam recipients. Meghan, take note: this is how you play the game.
