Overview
- The Los Angeles Times’ The Envelope 2025 Oscar Actresses Roundtable, published Dec. 16, featured Gwyneth Paltrow, Jennifer Lopez, Emily Blunt, Tessa Thompson, Elle Fanning and Sydney Sweeney.
- Paltrow said she tries to never read anything about herself and confirmed she deleted Instagram to avoid exposure to harsh commentary.
- Lopez said she avoids reading film reviews yet still hears feedback, joking with Paltrow about stumbling on negativity that makes you “want to die.”
- Lopez described herself as a longtime “lightning rod for nice things and a lot of negativity,” crediting a strong sense of self for helping her tune out public noise.
- Both reflected on backlash tied to career pivots—Paltrow’s move into Goop and Lopez’s shift into music—while Blunt endorsed social-media breaks and Sweeney admitted disconnecting is difficult.
