Gwyneth Paltrow Supports Meghan Markle and Slams Fake Feud Rumors
Gwyneth Paltrow Addresses Rumored Rivalry With Meghan Markle
Hollywood actress and wellness entrepreneur Gwyneth Paltrow is setting the record straight about the swirling rumors suggesting a feud between her and Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex.
During her recent appearance on the April 24th episode of “The World’s First Podcast” hosted by Erin and Sara Foster, Paltrow dismissed the speculation, calling out the media for exploiting narratives that pit women against each other for clickbait.
"I Won’t Be a Pawn for Clickbait": Paltrow's Strong Words
“You know what I won’t be at this point in my life?” Paltrow said during the interview. “I won’t be a pawn in some drummed-up, triangulation of women feud for your f***ing clickbait.”
She condemned the idea that women, especially those in the public eye, need to be positioned as rivals for entertainment or media engagement.
The Truth Behind the Meghan Markle and Gwyneth Paltrow Rumors
The rumors began earlier in 2025 when Meghan Markle launched her lifestyle brand, As Ever, and debuted her Netflix series With Love, Meghan. While both women are successful in their own right and have never spoken negatively about one another, online speculation painted them as competitors.
However, Paltrow made it clear she holds no ill will and instead voiced her support for Markle’s ventures.

“Again, I wish Meghan nothing but the best,” Paltrow shared. “It’s so great what she’s doing. I’m proud of her. Every woman deserves to go into anything they want to do.”
Her remarks were a strong statement in favor of women supporting women, especially in the entrepreneurial and public space.
Social Media Response to the Fake Feud
Back in March, when rumors were reaching a fever pitch, Paltrow posted a humorous response on her Instagram Stories on March 25. In the video, she sits casually at her kitchen table and says, “I genuinely do not understand all this whatsoever.”
She then pans the camera to Markle, who simply shrugs while enjoying a piece of pie, subtly mocking the baseless rumors.
Putting an End to Manufactured Celebrity Drama
With her latest comments, Gwyneth Paltrow draws a firm line in the sand against gossip culture and the fabricated drama surrounding high-profile women. Her message was clear: don’t believe everything you read, and don’t let the media turn empowerment into rivalry.
