URGENT UPDATE: Gwyneth Paltrow’s alleged derogatory nickname for Winona Ryder has been unveiled in a bombshell biography, stirring up fresh controversy in Hollywood. According to Amy Odell’s new book, “Gwyneth,” Paltrow reportedly referred to her former friend as “Vagina Ryder” after suspecting Ryder of fabricating stories for attention in the 1990s.
The fallout between the two actresses reportedly escalated following Paltrow’s split from Brad Pitt in 1997 and her move into Ryder’s New York City apartment. At that time, Ryder was in a relationship with Matt Damon, while Paltrow began dating Damon’s best friend, Ben Affleck.
Odell reveals that Ryder had allegedly informed Damon about being robbed on two occasions. However, Paltrow and Affleck believed that Ryder was exaggerating for publicity. “Damon consoled her, but Gwyneth and Affleck believed Ryder fabricated the robberies as a ploy for attention (there’s no proof of this),” Odell detailed in the book, as reported by the Daily Mail.
Paltrow’s frustration grew as Damon showed empathy towards Ryder, leading to a deterioration in her friendship with Ryder. This animosity culminated in Paltrow coining the nickname “Vagina Ryder,” a claim that has now drawn significant media attention. Representatives for both actresses have yet to respond to requests for comments from Page Six.
In a surprising twist, the biography also suggests that Paltrow may have taken the lead role in the award-winning film “Shakespeare in Love” from Ryder after initially rejecting it. Odell alleges that rumors about Paltrow stealing the script from Ryder’s coffee table prompted Paltrow to assert that the story was fabricated by Ryder. “After the story reached the media, Gwyneth insisted she’d received the script through her agent,” Odell claims.
While neither actress has directly addressed their long-standing feud, Paltrow has previously mentioned a “frenemy” in a 2009 Goop blog post, indicating that the conflict deeply affected her. “I was deeply upset, I was angry, I was all of those things you feel when you find out that someone you thought you liked was venomous and dangerous,” she reflected at the time.
As this story continues to unfold, fans and followers of both actresses are left wondering about the implications of these revelations on their careers and personal lives. The biography is set to ignite discussions across social media, making it a trending topic worth watching.
Stay tuned for more updates on this evolving story, as details continue to emerge.
