How Madonna’s daughter Lourdes was behind Gwyneth Paltrow fallout that sparked Hollywood feud, book reveals

BBG News

The core issue behind the breakdown of the close bond between Gwyneth Paltrow and Madonna, according to recent revelations, revolves around Madonna’s behavior towards her daughter Lourdes.

The surprising disclosure hails from “Gwyneth: The Biography” penned by Amy Odell, offering a glimpse into the most intimate aspects of the Academy Award-winning actress’s life.

In the early 2000s, Gwyneth Paltrow and Madonna were often seen as an unbreakable duo. They went on holidays together, exercised together, and even studied Kabbalah classes side by side.

However, the relationship between the four individuals experienced a troubling shift during an unsettling encounter on a vacation that Odell referred to as their run-in with Madonna, her eldest child Lourdes, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Chris Martin, who was then married to Gwyneth.

According to the book, it appeared as if Madonna was aware of Gwyneth’s presence, and this seemed odd to Gwyneth, a friend recalled.

According to reports, the famous figure apparently urged the pair to attend a shared meal with her – an event where she is said to have publicly scolded her daughter, Lourdes, in front of all present.

‘Gwyneth and Martin were disgusted by the behavior,’ wrote Odell. 

According to reports, Martin is said to have referred to Madonna as ‘difficult’ and expressed to Gwyneth that he found it impossible to continue in her presence.

It is said that Paltrow reportedly concurred, labeling the artist behind the hit single “Like a Virgin” as ‘toxic,’ and eventually chose to part ways in their friendship.

Mail.com hasn’t gotten a reply yet from representatives of Madonna, Paltrow, and Martin regarding our request for a comment.

The recent event presented a striking difference compared to only a few years ago, as Gwyneth Paltrow was publicly expressing her close relationship with Madonna at that time.

In a 2006 interview, the Oscar winner called the pop icon ‘like her older sister,’

She stated, ‘What I’ve experienced, she endured a far greater and more prolonged ordeal. She offers valuable guidance on saying no and prioritizing self-care.’

In the late ’90s, Gwyneth Paltrow (currently 52) and Madonna (now 66), forged a strong bond, and they were often seen together throughout the early 2000s, suggesting their friendship was quite close during that period.

For more than a decade, unofficial rumors have persisted about a possible disagreement or rift between the parties.

In an interview with British Vogue back in April 2010, Gwyneth Paltrow seemed to suggest some issues regarding her former business partner and famed fitness instructor, Tracy Anderson.

Indeed, it’s beneficial that Tracy no longer trains Madonna. Previously, she expressed her thoughts as, “It was just too much.” The reason being, Madonna often makes people wait, which consumes the entire day.

Currently, Odell’s book provides fresh insights into the possible triggers of the last major disagreement. However, the precise timing of the holiday-related event that might have contributed to this rift is still undetermined.

One thing’s certain: Paltrow and Madonna haven’t been photographed together since 2010.
