The breakdown of Madonna and Gwyneth Paltrow's longstanding camaraderie.
In a surprising turn of events, the once close friendship between Madonna and Gwyneth Paltrow has reportedly come to an abrupt end. According to the upcoming biography, 'Gwyneth: The Biography' by Amy Odell, the friendship's demise can be traced back to a dramatic incident that unfolded during a vacation.
The turning point came when Madonna unexpectedly appeared on an island where Gwyneth and her then-husband Chris Martin were vacationing. Gwyneth found it strange that Madonna seemed to know she would be there, and the situation escalated during a group dinner.
The book reveals that Madonna publicly berated her daughter, Lourdes, during the dinner, a behaviour that left Gwyneth and Chris Martin deeply unsettled and disgusted. Chris Martin was reported to have said, "I can't be around this woman any more. She's awful." Gwyneth agreed, finding Madonna toxic, and they ended their friendship shortly after this incident.
The explosive account of Madonna's behaviour during the group dinner is a significant factor in the breakdown of their friendship. However, the biography does not provide any new details about the reason for Madonna's unexpected visit to the island.
The book, set to be released on July 29, may also include Gwyneth's past remarks about Madonna, serving as an indication of how much they drifted apart. For instance, in 2010, Gwyneth mentioned that she was glad Tracy Anderson, their shared personal trainer, no longer trained Madonna, citing that she kept people waiting and took up too much time.
The friendship between the two celebrities, who were previously close, began in the late 1990s through shared interests like yoga, Kabbalah, and diets. The book offers further details about the breakdown of their friendship, providing an intriguing look into the lives of these influential figures.
