• Amy Odell’s biography “Gwyneth” was published on July 29, 2025, bringing to light little-known episodes from Paltrow’s 1990s Hollywood circle.
• The book alleges Paltrow dubbed Winona Ryder “Vagina Ryder” after accusing her of fabricating two robberies as attention-seeking stunts.
• Odell writes that the friendship collapse followed Paltrow’s 1997 split from Brad Pitt and her move into Ryder’s New York City apartment for support.
