This comment of hers has attracted quite the attention online, some even calling Paltrow,“out of touch.”
Gwyneth Paltrow Talks About How “Tough” Celebrity Kids Have It
In arecent vlogposted by Hailey Bieber, titled “Who’s In My Bathroom,” Paltrow was seen to have made an appearance. While their conversations spanned various topics, what the internet seems to have latched on to is the segment where theIron Manactress spoke about and recounted her experiences while growing up as a “star kid” to extremely popular and well-known parents.
Born into the family of Blythe Danner and the late Bruce Paltrow — two notable industry figures, the actress has known what it is like to be in the limelight from a very young age. In the vlog, the actress further elaborated on how she feels that celebrity kids are rewarded with a kind of“access”that other people or kids are ordinarily devoid of. TheGoopowner, however, made the following statement which has the internet blasting her for it:
“However, I really do feel that once your foot is in the door, which you unfairly got in, then you almost have to work twice as hard and be twice as good.”
While the netizens may have a strong stance on the matter, a question nags the mind — how“unfair”is privilege? After all, it is not a daily occurrence that someone is given major roles in movies by Steven Spielberg himself.

Twitter Has Opinions About The Actress’ Claims

Paltrow, to offer Hailey Bieber some reassurance, who also happens to be a byproduct of nepotism, emphasized the label of being “privileged” should not stop them from working towards their goals. Funnily enough, the actress failed to understand the irony behind her tone-deaf comment. How privilege can be “limiting” is quite a matter of sardonic paradox indeed.
