Gwyneth Paltrow covers Harper's Bazaar UK. In her interview she talks about her haters. Basically, Gwyneth gave bloggers plenty of bait in this feature. I wonder if she knows that?

On her haters and her advice website GOOP: "Any time you do anything with any degree of sincerity, people make fun of you. That's totally fine. I don't care. I don't read any of it... There were a couple of times when I thought, 'I'm just gonna stop doing it. People are so mean to me. I don't want to do it.' But then I was like, 'Who cares what some lame person out there says?' I was in Italy once, and this old man came up to me and said, 'I had the best time in Nashville because of Goop.' And that is so worth it to me."
On living in the UK: "In England, people are cool. They're really laid back and calm. Beyonce did the school run with me once, and everyone was fine. They also have really good anti-paparazzi rules. If you're driving in a car and they make you feel freaked out, that's against the law. They can't put you in a magazine unless they pixelate the kids' faces. I miss America, but I love living in the UK."
I've always been a strong supporter of Gwyneth Paltrow. She frequently talks badly about America, but I believe that the reason why people have issues with her is because she's extremely self-aware and confident, which many people aren't, therefore upsetting them. She has also lived a privileged life and she sees life through somewhat of a rose colored lens. Spoiled little rich girl problems aside, the Oscar winner is a wonderful role model. Gwyneth is a strong, talented, opinionated and intelligent woman, not to mention that she's also attractive. People don't like that combination. She also strays from the media and has yet to walk a red carpet with her husband. Because Gwyneth is who she is and she gives no apologies for it, it's just too much for haters to take in.
One of my friends had a wonderful experience when she met Gwyneth, while another blogger says Gwyn is one of the nicest, most down to earth people she has ever been around, on or off of the red carpet. I just think that often times the media picks the wrong targets, then you meet those you think are great or or you talk to industry insiders only to learn that they're actually huge jerks.
