Did Gwyneth Paltrow avoid speaking directly to restaurant staff and instead order through her personal assistant? It's possible, considering how Paltrow has supposedly acted towards other people on certain occasions.
Some celebrities have been known to act like divas towards others around them. A few have even reportedly been rude to the people who work for them.
Gwyneth Paltrow is an Oscar-winning actress who founded her own company, GOOP. It seems that even with all of her success, Paltrow might not be one of the nicer celebrities in Hollywood. She has supposedly acted like a diva on more than one occasion. Reportedly Gwyenth Paltrow avoided speaking directly to restaurant staff and instead ordered through her personal assistant.
Gwyneth Paltrow Has Reportedly Acted Like A Diva On Several Occasions
Some celebrities have had more than one story come out about their over-the-top behavior. Gwenyth Paltrow has had to deal with a few stories about her supposed diva behavior.
According to the Daily Mail, an insider told Life & Style magazine the actor has demanded a lot of those who work for her. When she goes to the gym, apparently "Before she showers, Gwyneth makes someone go into the stall and wipe the entire stall dry!"
"She refuses to touch what she called someone else's shower water. She also refused to use toilet paper that anyone has touched and demands an unopened package."
Along with these demands, Paltrow also makes sure to "send someone to the gas station to buy a couple bottles of SmartWater for her", even though the gym supplies water.
The Shakespeare In Love actress was apparently rude to a worker in a J. Crew store, according to one source. According to Star Magazine, they said Paltrow was “extremely rude” to both employees and shoppers in the store.
According to the source, it seems after being told "she would get 15% off, she snapped back at the store clerk that her discount was for 30%.” It appears Paltrow got her way, and received the discount.
During a 2014 interview with Entertainment News, the Country Strong actor seemed to say that being a celebrity with children was tougher than being a non-celebrity parent with children.
She stated, "I think it's different when you have an office job, because it's routine and, you know, you can do all the stuff in the morning and then you come home in the evening. When you're shooting a movie, they're like, 'We need you to go to Wisconsin for two weeks,' and then you work 14 hours a day and that part of it is very difficult. I think to have a regular job and be a mom is not as, of course there are challenges, but it's not like being on set."
Did Gwyneth Paltrow Avoid Speaking Directly To Restaurant Staff And Instead Order Through Her Personal Assistant?
Some celebrities have been reported to act like complete divas around others. They might have outrageous demands for an appearance or performance, or they might be rude to the people who work for them or are helping them in other ways.
Supposedly Gwyneth Paltrow avoided speaking directly to someone who worked in a restaurant.
According to Yahoo!, it seems someone who waited on her in a restaurant posted in about the incident on Reddit. The source claimed, "Gwyneth refused to 'speak with the help' and ordered via her assistant."
It appears the Iron Man actor might have refused to speak to someone who was serving her, and instead preferred to have her assistant order for her.
It's possible this happened, considering the Sliding Doors actor's supposed diva behavior on several other occasions.
Gwyneth Paltrow's Cookbooks Might Not Have The Best Advice
Some celebrities have also become entrepreneurs, and own their own businesses. Along with founding GOOP, Gwyneth Paltrow has also written five cookbooks.
Even though the Contagion actress lives a mostly healthy lifestyle, it seems her cookbooks don't offer the healthiest advice.
According to The Sun, Professor Ben Chapman, a food safety expert who did a study that included celebrity cookbooks, discussed the dangers of at least one of her recipes in her 2011 cookbook, My Father's Daughter. Talking about her Roast-Chicken Rotisserie Style recipe, he said, "it doesn't have a safe endpoint temperature, which should be 165F or 74C to ensure you destroy disease causing bacteria."
She also recommends washing chicken, which can spread bacteria around an area. The UK Food Standards Agency also said this was a bad practice that could spread certain types of bacteria, such as campylobacter. They stated, “Thorough cooking kills it. Campylobacter can be spread easily and just a few bacteria could cause illness.”
It seems other celebrities are guilty of this as well. In an interview with Gizmodo, Professor Ben Chapman discussed the trend of celebrities not including safe recipes in their cookbooks. "Gwyneth was just one of many actors. At home there is an assumption by the consumer that when a recipe says to cook something at 325 for 2 hours, that's a safe thing to do.
He continued, stating, "That's not science-based. If you were in a restaurant, it would be required to cook food to a certain temperature or warn consumers with a message about undercooked meat."
The Shallow Hal star's "spokesman admitted the recipes did not have an endpoint temperature but claimed the directions gave ample cooking time."
According to Nicki Swift, Paltrow also wrote in her cookbook, It's All Easy, that the "super-busy home cook" shouldn't have a problem cooking a two-hour meal after working and running errands.
