Look, Gwyneth Paltrow blows and we all know it. She hasn’t made a good movie in… I don’t know, EVER, and she’s obnoxious and completely disconnected from reality while simultaneously insisting that she’s totally like the “common woman”. She knows other people think she’s clueless but she doesn’t care and she’s just awful. But clearly there’s a reason she’s turned out this way: her mother, Blythe Danner, clearly raised her to think she’s a special damn snowflake. In fact, Blythe thinks the reason we all see her daughter as so unbearably obnoxious is because we’re “intimidated” by her!
Appearing on Today on Wednesday, host Natalie Morales asked Blythe’s thoughts on her daughter’s reputation, to which she replied: “I think she’s so accomplished that people get kind of intimidated by it.”
“I know that she’s the most extraordinary girl who can do everything,” she said. “An incredible mother, raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for my husband’s oral cancer fund … Things she doesn’t talk about a lot, she’s becoming a great environmentalist. I’m so proud of her.”
Uh, yikes. And also, completely wrong. I hate to break it to Blythe Danner, but there are so many people on this planet who have accomplished way more than Goopy Paltrow and they’re actually liked and respected. They’re not obnoxious, self-obsessed, clueless weirdos. This argument just doesn’t hold water – and it’s not the first time she’s made it, anyway.
Of course, we can’t blame her too much – any mom is gonna stick up for her child, so it’s only natural. Doesn’t make it right, though.
I hate her too, but Mortdecai this year was really good and entertaining.
The acorn doesnt fall far from the tree
Not a fan of Gwyneth and I think her mom is just like her – delusional in some level. Although, I got to hand it to the mom, Blythe is more beautiful than Gwyneth. No offense to G, but she looks dry and dehydrated.
