Apple Martin Responds to 'Mean Girl' Allegations After Debutante Ball

The daughter of Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin addressed online criticism through a playful TikTok video after her high-society debut in Paris.

Apple Martin, 20, faced backlash following her appearance at Le Bal des Débutantes in Paris, where online critics accused her of 'mean girl' behavior during the event.
Criticism arose from viral clips showing Apple rolling her eyes at her dance partner and stepping into a photo opportunity with another debutante, prompting negative comments on social media.
In a since-deleted TikTok video shared by her friend Ava Crox, Apple seemingly responded to the controversy by mouthing along to a voiceover emphasizing kindness and generosity.
Fellow debutante Aliénor Loppin de Montmort defended Apple, describing her as 'the nicest girl ever' and rejecting the negative portrayal circulating online.
Apple's debut featured a custom blue Valentino gown that took 750 hours to create, with both of her famous parents, Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin, attending the event to support her formal introduction to high society.
