For months, social media was buzzing with speculation about an embarrassing incident at Gwyneth Paltrow’s Hamptons home.
The internet went wild when whispers surfaced that a high-profile guest—later identified as fashion journalist Derek Blasberg—allegedly had a less-than-glamorous accident in one of her guest beds.
Now, after staying quiet on the subject, Paltrow has finally broken her silence—sort of.
Paltrow’s Awkward Response
During a recent interview with Vanity Fair, the 52-year-old Goop founder was asked about the infamous rumor.
According to the interviewer, Michelle Ruiz, Paltrow reacted with visible discomfort and an “existential cringe” but chose not to deny the story outright.
Instead, she simply trailed off mid-sentence, leaving more questions than answers.
Ruiz noted that while Blasberg wasn’t named in the article, he was referred to as a “socialite houseguest.”
This subtle yet telling detail only fueled speculation that there might be some truth to the now-infamous story.
How It All Started
The gossip initially spread like wildfire after an anonymous blind item on a popular celebrity gossip newsletter claimed that a guest at Paltrow’s home had suffered an unfortunate bout of “Ozempic-induced diarrhea” and left in a hurry before facing any consequences.
Ozempic, a diabetes medication that has gained popularity as a weight-loss drug, has been rumored to cause digestive issues in some users.
While the blind item didn’t name names, insiders later revealed to DailyMail.com that Blasberg was indeed the mystery guest.
Reportedly, he blamed Ozempic for the accident before making a quick exit from the property.
The story became an instant hit among the Hamptons elite, with Paltrow allegedly sharing it with none other than Oprah Winfrey, Jerry Seinfeld, and Larry David.
The Aftermath: Blasberg Stays Silent
Despite the internet’s relentless curiosity, Blasberg has remained completely silent on the matter.
He has neither confirmed nor denied the rumors, opting instead to ignore the growing whispers.
Even when Instagram users left toilet and poop emojis on his posts, he didn’t respond.
Meanwhile, sources claim that while Paltrow initially found the situation “horrifying,” she has since come to see the humor in it.
She reportedly wants to move past the incident and eventually laugh about it with Blasberg.
However, she’s aware that if they’re seen together anytime soon, it’ll reignite all the chatter.
Did Paltrow Leak the Story?
Some members of the social scene were quick to accuse Paltrow of breaking the “cardinal rule of hosting” by spreading the embarrassing tale.
However, another blind item suggested that she wasn’t actually the source of the leak.
Instead, it pointed to her housekeeper, who allegedly discovered the mess and vented loudly about it to Paltrow while she was at lunch with Oprah and Jerry Seinfeld.
According to insiders, Paltrow regrets that the story got out but is confident it will soon be old news.
As one source put it, “She does feel bad that it became public and that the whole world knows about it, but this will pass.”
Moving On From the Scandal
While the bizarre gossip still lingers, it seems both Paltrow and Blasberg are determined to move on.
They remain friends but are reportedly giving it some time before they’re seen together in public again.
Given Paltrow’s history of navigating controversies, it’s safe to say she’ll come out of this one just fine.
As for Blasberg? Well, he might just be hoping this particular conversation flushes itself out of the public consciousness sooner rather than later.
