Gwyneth Paltrow made brutal comment following break-up with Ben Affleck
Gwyneth Paltrow may well be very well known for her Hollywood roles or founding her own business, but she's developed a bit of a reputation for her brutal comments.
The 52-year-old, who many will recognise as Pepper Potts in the Marvel films, has just had her biography published, and it's revealed plenty of details about her journey into acting.
The book also discusses her health and wellness Goop brand, where she's sold 'sex eggs' for over $60 along with a controversial candle named 'This Smells Like My Vagina', and it's got some pretty juicy bits about her high-profile dating life too.
During the 90s, Paltrow lived with Stranger Things actor Winona Ryder in New York, and she allegedly gave her former roommate a particularly harsh nickname, according to biography author Amy Odell.

The book also discusses the actor's relationship with actor Ben Affleck, while she reportedly particularly enjoyed one X-rated act from the Good Will Hunting star, it seems as if things did not end well.
After they broke up, Paltrow said: "I love men, even though they’re lying, cheating scumbags.”
I wonder if Ben had been showing off one of the five signs of 'silent cheating?'
It clearly didn't stop them having fun together while they were still dating, as Odell also goes into detail about a particularly intimate moment on the set of the 1999 romance film Shakespeare in Love.
Odell wrote: “One day, a crew member went to fetch Gwyneth from her dressing room. The door was ajar, and the runner knocked and entered without waiting for a response, at which point he glimpsed Gwyneth in an intimate moment with Ben, who heard the runner and said, ‘Not now.’"
A friend told Odell that 'Ben was not a good guy' but that Paltrow 'was always a good girlfriend to her boyfriends'.
“He’s his own worst enemy,” the friend added. “He just has so many demons.”
It's not the first ex-boyfriend who's been the subject of some savage comebacks from Paltrow over the years, as she also described legendary actor Brad Pitt as ''dumber than a sack of s**t' and also criticised his taste in women after it was confirmed that he would be marrying Jennifer Aniston.
Affleck, who finalised his divorce with Jennifer Lopez earlier this year, was a little more complimentary about his former partner, describing her as 'the smartest woman he's ever met'.
