Gwyneth Paltrow Says 2014 'Conscious Uncoupling' Backlash Cost Her a Film Role

Paltrow did not name the film or distributor involved in the alleged firing.

Overview

  • The actor told Amy Poehler’s Good Hang podcast on Jan. 6 that she was dropped from a movie soon after announcing her split from Chris Martin in 2014.
  • She said a distributor viewed the media attention as "too hot to touch," which she believes prompted the decision.
  • The 'conscious uncoupling' phrasing drew widespread criticism at the time, which she now says some people interpreted personally based on their own divorce experiences.
  • Coverage of her comments notes she offered no specifics and there is no independent verification of the project or company.
  • Since the split, she has married producer Brad Falchuk and recently returned to a major screen role in Marty Supreme.
