Congratulations are in order for Gwyneth Paltrow and her fiancé Brad Falchuck, as they are reportedly getting married this weekend “at her home” in the Hamptons! This is great news for the two of them, as well as the “close friends and family” who will likely be in attendance. (Page Six is expecting 50, while Us Weekly predicts fewer than 20.)
As for me, I don’t really care! Paltrow is still out here using her platform to condescend to mothers who don’t have the time or money to fighting postnatal depression with more sleep, exercise, or a “period of regeneration.” Writes People:
Though she said, “they are lifesavers for certain people for sure,” Paltrow chose to search for alternative therapies.
Isn’t her use of “certain people” in this quote about depressants absolutely chilling? People with this kind of influence need to be more thoughtful about how they discuss medical issues and diagnoses to their adoring public. There are ways to share you experiences without resorting to vaguely classist commentary about the deeply complex and personal world of antidepressants.
