Gwyneth Paltrow is hitting back at critics after news surfaced regarding an upcoming private dinner she is hosting in the Hamptons. Reports surfaced that the actress and entrepreneur planned to host a private, off-the-record event in honor of OpenAI CEO Sam Altman.
Following the reports, social media users shared images of what appeared to be formal invitations to the dinner. The reaction was swift, with many people online calling the event tone-deaf and labeling Paltrow a villain. Others went further, linking her association with the artificial intelligence executive to broader criticisms of the tech industry.
Paltrow responded by sharing her own series of fake invitations on social media. She posted graphics for dinners honoring fictional or pop culture characters like Shrek, M3GAN, and Samantha Jones. She accompanied these memes with a sarcastic remark about serving swordfish burritos and cheddar foam lattes on request. This is not her first time managing public criticism through social media, as she has previously addressed controversy by leaning into the absurdity of the claims against her.
