Gwyneth Paltrow Says She Was Fired From a Film After 'Conscious Uncoupling' Backlash

She told Amy Poehler's podcast the distributor deemed the project 'too hot to touch.'

Overview

  • Paltrow said on the Good Hang with Amy Poehler podcast that a movie role vanished immediately after her 2014 split announcement.
  • She described an unnamed distributor backing away due to harsh coverage of the phrase used to describe her separation from Chris Martin.
  • Recalling the moment, she joked that being dropped from the film compounded the stress of ending her marriage.
  • She reflected that the term resonated negatively for some people because it could feel like a rebuke to those who experienced painful divorces.
  • Paltrow and Martin separated in 2014 and finalized their divorce in 2016; she married Brad Falchuk in 2018 and recently returned to a major role in Marty Supreme alongside Timothée Chalamet.
