7:41Now PlayingGwyneth Paltrow Unknowingly Mocks Her Own Company With Fake Diaper Ad
YouTube Description
as posted by the channelGwyneth Paltrow’s 'health and wellness' company Goop released a poorly timed PR stunt, advertising a 12pack of luxury diapers lined with virgin alpaca wool and amber gemstones and infused with jasmine scent for the small fee of $120 a pack. As it runs out, this ad was just to raise awareness for high diaper taxes across the country, but also sheds light on how ridiculous Goop’s items actually are. Ana Kasparian and John Iadarola discuss on The Young Turks. Watch LIVE weekdays 68 pm ET.

"On Wednesday afternoon, just as blood sugar levels and reservoirs of patience were hitting their lows for the week, the Instagram page for Gwyneth Paltrow’s ridiculous and bad luxury wellness publication Goop shared a post that instantly—and as planned—riled everyone up. It was purportedly an ad for a new Goop product called The Diapér, described as “a luxury disposable diaper“ that was, the post said, “lined with virgin alpaca wool and fastened with amber gemstones, known for their ancient emotional-cleansing properties,” and “infused with a scent of jasmine and bergamot for a revitalized baby.” This was, as it turned out, a horrendously poorly-timed PR stunt meant to raise awareness about the high taxes imposed on diapers in some states; it mostly just raised awareness of the fact that any absurd Goop product could very well be real.
In most circumstances and from most publications, the idea of a luxury disposable diaper fastened with gemstones would clearly be a joke, but Goop’s hallmark from the start has been hawking expensive, unnecessary, and unscientific products, like the jade and rose quartz vagina eggs that earned it a $145,000 fine from the Orange County District Attorney's office. Besides marketing products with no proven benefits, Goop has also platformed a wide variety of schmucks and hucksters, including a guy who implied he could heal breast cancer with his hands and Kelly Brogan, an anti-vaccine “holistic psychiatrist” and frequent former Goop contributor who’s gone on to become a prominent COVID denier.”
