Gwyneth Paltrow Accuses Jeff Bezos of Ghosting Her

Actress Gwyneth Paltrow is disappointed that Amazon founder Jeff Bezos never wrote her back after they had exchanged messages, she told a Texas audience Monday morning.

Speaking to CNN anchor Poppy Harlow at the South by Southwest Conference in Austin (via Page Six), Gwyneth said Bezos had reached out to her and then left her hanging back in December after she told the Wall Street Journal she looks up to him.

“In the Wall Street Journal, they asked me about my mentors, like you have, and I said, ‘Oh sometimes I, like, cold call people,’ and they said, ‘Well has anyone not called you back?’ And I said, ‘Yes, Jeff Bezos,’” said Paltrow.

The actress said Bezos had emailed her personally after the WSJ article came out, and told her the WSJ had notified her that she had called him.

“The body of the email said, ‘Hi there Gwyneth, the Wall Street Journal told me you wanna talk to me,'” said Paltrow. “So, I wrote him back and then he wrote me and then I said, ‘I would die for the opportunity to sit down and ask you a bunch of questions’ … and he never wrote me back.”

Paltrow acknowledged the billionaire had a busy schedule, and was not expected to write her back, and was certainly not the first guy to have ghosted her. Nonetheless, she said she would be thrilled to talk to Bezos and ask him questions, and that she would be willing to sell her $250 million wellness company to Amazon if they ever asked.

“There are so many things I would wanna ask him. I guess fundamentally, he sort of gives himself license at every turn to go into every business and I would want to psychology understand the why and the engine behind that. I’m just fascinated by him,” she said.
