Media personality Andy Signore recently took to YouTube and discussed details from American actress and businesswoman Gwyneth Paltrow’s new biography. According to People magazine, the new book Gwyneth: The Biography is written by Amy Odell.

On Thursday, July 31, 2025, Andy Signore shared a video on his Popcorned Planet detailing the 52-year-old actress’s relationship, workplace allegations, and much more, as compiled by New York Times bestseller and journalist Amy Odell.

“From Ben Affleck to Brad Pitt to Winona Ryder to Madonna to so much more. Gwyneth: The Biography reveals a lot that the actress, I think didn't really want out there. I want to go through some of the goopiest, craziest, wild revelations that have come out so far from this new biography by Amy Odell.”

The 45-year-old YouTube content creator noted in his video how the BBC analyzed the actress’ biography with the headline: “‘Her acid tongue is usually in her cheek': How Gwyneth Paltrow became a divisive, defiant icon.” Signore added that the actress has been called “mean girl” and “bully” in it. He added,

“There's a lot of stuff revealed in here. Cruelty, it seems. In this new book by Amy Odell, she's described as ‘one of the most resented celebrities in the world.’”

Meanwhile, as per the YouTuber, the Iron Man actress didn't participate in the book. But the author Amy Odell interviewed more than 220 friends, colleagues, and industry insiders for Gwyneth: The Biography.

Andy Signore says Gwyneth Paltrow’s new biography revelations are “not that shocking”

In his video, Andy Signore discussed Gwyneth: The Biography through several reviews from news organizations, including US Weekly, BBC, and more. The media personality noted that the actress Gwyneth Paltrow has been infamous for her “toxic” and “cold” work environment. He discussed how Gwyneth once found pee on a toilet seat at the office and addressed it in a “public” Slack chat at the office.

As per Andy Signore, Gwyneth Paltrow had a fallout with Winona Ryder after she stayed with Ryder following the former’s breakup with Brad Pitt. Reportedly, their friendship further deteriorated, and Paltrow gave Ryder a nickname: “V*gina Ryder.” Signore also discussed that Amy Odell, in her book Gwyneth: The Biography, also weighed in on Paltrow’s fallout with Madonna, Brad Pitt, and Ben Affleck.

However, in his video, Andy Signore also discussed Amy Odell's article from her newsletter Back Row, which claims that the actress created a way of “distraction” for people to keep away from the book via her new advertisement with the US tech company, Astronomer. He read out Odell's examples of the actress's other major brand deals and the amount she got from them. Signore also quoted the author's statement that "This is a sign that no matter how much controversy she generates, brands will want to work with her." Signore then added,

“She gets money when she wants to get money, and I'm sure she got money here.

He then also discussed Odell's assertion that the actress was very smart, saying,

“So, look, she's no dummy. She's no dummy. She may be icy. But overall, not that shocking. I got to say, I expected a little bit more. She shouldn't be that worried about this. Is this the best of it is?”
