Gwyneth Paltrow’s Daughter Reveals What She ‘Avoids Like The Plague’

Apple Martin knows how to deal with “really upsetting” criticism.

The 20-year-old daughter of actor Gwyneth Paltrow and Coldplay frontman Chris Martin spoke to Interview magazine on Wednesday, and was asked if she ever read stuff about herself on the web that she found upsetting.

“After the Chanel show, I did,” Martin said, referencing her Paris Fashion Week debut at Chanel’s Haute Couture Spring/Summer 2023 show in 2023. “Then I quickly realized why everybody has always said, ‘Don’t do it.’”

The student, a junior at Vanderbilt University, said, “Because even if you see a million positive things, there can be one thing that absolutely wrecks you.”

She added, “So, I’ve stopped now and I avoid it like the plague, because I know myself and I know that if I see stuff that isn’t true and that’s really upsetting to me, I’m going to be like, ‘Oh my god, I should never go out in public again.’”

“I’ve tried to be like, ‘People are going to say stuff, and that’s okay,’” Martin said of her approach to criticism.

“And like everybody, there’s going to be stuff that isn’t true and stuff that is upsetting,” she added. “And all I can do is just be the best that I can be and be with the people I love and not read random, crazy conspiracies.”

Apple’s mom, Paltrow, has a similar attitude toward critics ― especially when the feedback is directed toward her business, Goop.

When the mogul was once asked about Martha Stewart’s disapproval of her entering the lifestyle space with Goop, the actor laughed it off.

“First of all, no one has ever said anything bad about me before, so I am shocked and devastated,” she quipped during a Fortune summit in 2014.

“I think that when anybody criticizes anyone, it really is just revealing more about where they are in time and space as opposed to where you are in time and space,” Paltrow said. “At this point in my life I don’t take it personally, I see it as a projection.”
