Gossip Why Do We Hate Gwyneth Paltrow?
Posted by Paul Constant on Tue, Apr 19, 2011 at 9:58 AM
My theory is twofold. I think there’s a part of me that because I think I do a lot, I think my work ethic is the reason why I’m successful. I think that a lot of people don’t want to put in effort and it’s easier to not change, not do something good for you, not work on your relationship, not make yourself a meal, not work out. [They're just] pissed off at someone else doing that...It’s a projection. Sometimes if I hear of something really unkind or somebody’s really misunderstood me or something like that for a second I’ll be like, “Oooh wow that hurt,” but almost immediately I’ll be like, “poor guy.” What state are they in that they’re seeing that or projecting that.
Us self-loathing leeches always feed off of producers, right, Gwynnie? I think I know what movie you saw last weekend.
