From Goop to MAHA: Gwyneth Paltrow and the Politics of Rich Women's "Wellness"

#gwynethpaltrow #goop #wellness

Gwyneth Paltrow went on a podcast and said she "doesn't feel anything right now" about politics. She called herself centrist. An independent who is basically unbothered. I wasn't surprised, but I have LOTS of thoughts about her $250 million "wellness empire" that has been selling women pseudoscience, luxury snake oil, and the language of empowerment while doing the opposite. This video is about how Goop and MAHA speak the same language. Also, why women like Gwyneth Paltrow are not our allies even when they claim the feminist label.
