Paltrow, who also found her way to the lifestyle space after an acting career, told Vanity Fair she wasn’t overly familiar with Markle’s widely panned Netflix show, « With Love, Meghan, » or her brand As Ever but was inclined to support her.
Referring to the backlash Markle has received, Paltrow said when « there’s noise about certain women in the culture, I do have, always, a strong instinct to stand up for them.
« I was raised to see other women as friends, not foes. I think there’s always more than enough to go around. Everybody deserves an attempt at everything that they want to try. »
