Lorraine Kelly reacts to Gwyneth Paltrow's comments about Meghan Markle
@Source: ok.co.uk
Lorraine Kelly has given her two cents on Gwyneth Paltrow's recent remarks about Meghan Markle, labelling them as "very fair". Gwyneth has addressed allegations that the Duchess of Sussex had imitated her lifestyle brand GOOP with her latest project. Actress turned wellness guru Gwyneth, 52, runs the lifestyle brand Goop, which has has products including egg-shaped stones and unusually-titled candle products.
Meghan has recently launched the new lifestyle brand As Ever in tandem with her show With Love, Meghan. Speaking to Vanity Fair, the actress said: "I don't know Meghan and Harry... I mean, I've met Meghan, who seems really lovely, but I don't know her at all," she stated. "I was raised to see other women as friends, not foes... I think there's always more than enough to go around. Everybody deserves an attempt at everything that they want to try," she continued. Despite not having watched Meghan's Netflix series, With Love, Meghan, Gwyneth maintained there was no rivalry between them.
During her Tuesday morning ITV show, Lorraine chimed in, saying: "I think that's very fair. All of these kind of shows are sort of the same-ish aren't they? It's only it's a different person doing it."
This follows Lorraine's recent 'one word review' of Meghan's new series. The show didn't sit well with some, being labelled as "nonsense" by TV critics and "out of touch" by viewers, reports the Mirror.
When asked by entertainment host Ross King for her thoughts on the show a day after its release, Lorraine simply responded: "Meh."
She then shared her thoughts: "I was not offended in any way but it was a wee bit dull. It's just not my thing. I wouldn't watch shows like that normally anyway. I saw the first episode, that was enough - fair play to her, she's launching her business."
Throughout the show, the ex-Suits actress offers a peek into her culinary passions and provides glimpses of her home life with Prince Harry and their little ones, Archie and Lilibet.
While some have thrown shade at Meghan's project, numerous fans have taken to Twitter to express their enjoyment. One fan gushed: "I'm watching With Love, Meghan and it's delightful. I will never understand the people whose entire personalities are hating her. It's sickening."
Echoing the sentiment, another added: "People just love to hate Meghan for no reason and are constantly putting her up against Kate. They are two different people. Let the woman live."
The buzz is real as Netflix has greenlit a second season, with Meghan herself confirming the scoop earlier this month. Taking to Instagram, the Duchess announced the return of the show with a playful post, writing: "Lettuce romaine calm... or not (! ) because I'm thrilled to shared that Season 2 of With Love, Meghan is coming!"
Lorraine isn't the only celebrity to comment on the series, as comedian Katherine Ryan shared her thoughts on her podcast, Telling Everybody Everything.
Katherine, previously a supporter of Meghan, had once praised Meghan's confidence in challenging Royal norms. However, after watching the Netflix series, Katherine accused her of "lying" about not knowing Prince Harry before they met.
Katherine claims that Meghan's persona is "manicured" and "forced", and slammed her for being overly Hollywood.
Katherine said: "I liked Meghan Markle. I was rooting for Meghan Markle... though she is very Hollywood - even for me - and I don't like that in people. I see now, and maybe it's just the projects she's choosing, it does feel like she has lied about whether she knew who Prince Harry was, and these details about her childhood change and don't add up."
"She said on her new Netflix show that they ate TV dinners growing up. But then in an old interview, she was like, "we would eat farm fresh". Her whole act just seems very manicured and very forced."
