Gwyneth Paltrow’s daughter Apple responds to claims she was expelled from school for ‘bullying’
The celebrity offspring has been plagued by claims that she bullied another student while at school
Apple Martin has denied longrunning claims that she was kicked out of school for 'bullying' another student.
The 21-year-old daughter of Coldplay singer Chris Martin and Gwyneth Paltrow has long been plagued by online claims that she was kicked out of her school for bullying.
It's not clear where the claims originated from, but type in the celebrity offspring's name on social media and you'll likely find several unsupported posts alleging unpleasant behaviour on her behalf.
Now Apple has finally had enough of the rumours, deciding to set the record straight once and for all.

Taking to Instagram stories, the model reshared a comment of hers from a previous post which called the bullying claims 'completely false'.
"Hi! I didn't wanna respond but this narrative is completely false and has gotten so out of hand,' she wrote in reply to another user.
"I have never been expelled from any school, especially not for bullying anyone."
Apple went on to explain that while she understands that not everybody online will like her, she felt the need to clear the rumour up as it was 'completely untrue'.
"I completely understand ppl not liking me and that is okay! The internet is a place where ppl can share their opinions.
"But this rumour is completely untrue, I am not that type of person and anyone who is close to me knows that."
Where did the Apple Martin bullying rumours come from?
It's not exactly clear where the rumours that Martin, who is currently a law, history, and society student at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, had bullied a classmate came from exactly, however they appeared to coincide with allegations surrounding her behaviour at the Le Bal des Debutantes in Paris in December 2024.
A video from the lavish bash - which is attended by youngsters from aristocratic families or the offspring of people high up in business or entertainment industries - appeared to show Apple attempting to 'photobomb' another debutante's picture.
In another clip from the invite-only event, Apple appeared to be rolling her eyes while walking alongside her date for the evening, Count Leo Henckel von Donnersmarck.
Meanwhile Aliénor Loppin de Montmort, the woman Apple was accused of photobombing, later spoke out in support of her.
During a 2024 interview with PEOPLE, the French countess described the part-time model as 'the nicest girl ever!'.
"[Apple’s] genuinely the nicest girl ever! She really doesn’t deserve an ounce of what she’s getting," Aliénor said.
"She was the nicest girl ever towards not only me but all the debs!"
