00:00Gwyneth Paltrow allegedly had a nasty nickname for her former friend Winona Ryder.
00:05I'm almost too embarrassed to say it.
00:07It's yet another goopy detail revealed in the bombshell biography titled Gwyneth.
00:12In excerpts from the Daily Mail, author Amy O'Dell claimed an angry Gwen
00:16secretly called Winona Vagina Ryder behind her back.
00:22Savage.
00:23Here's how it all played out.
00:24The 90s movie stars were good friends,
00:26and Gwen even moved into Winona's NYC apartment in 1997 after she broke up with Brad Pitt.
00:33That's when things got weird.
00:35Winona was dating Matt Damon,
00:37and Gwyneth was getting cozy with Matt's BFF, Ben Affleck.
00:41Well, according to the book, Winona started making up stories to get attention
00:44and to get Matt to console her,
00:47including claiming she had been robbed not once, but twice.
00:51Ironic, seeing as a few years later Winona would get caught shoplifting
00:54$5,000 in merchandise from the Saks in Beverly Hills.
00:59Well, the allegedly fabricated stories infuriated Gwyneth,
01:03and it blew up their friendship.
01:05In another part of the book, according to People Magazine,
01:07the actresses also had beef over 1997's Shakespeare in Love.
01:12Winona turned down the role, and Gwyneth ended up winning an Oscar for it.
01:16O'Dell writes,
01:17After a story about Gwyneth allegedly stealing the script from Winona's coffee table reached the media,
01:23Gwyneth told friends that Ryder had started the rumor
01:25and insisted she'd receive the script through her agent.
01:29Then in a 2009 blog post on Goop,
01:32Gwyneth hinted at the fallout, without naming names.
01:35Back in the day, I had a frenemy who, as it turned out,
01:39was pretty hell-bent on taking me down.
01:42This person really did what they could to hurt me.
01:45I was deeply upset.
01:46I was angry.
01:47I was all of those things you feel when you find out that someone you thought you liked
01:51was venomous and dangerous.
01:53She went on to write,
01:54In other words, karma's a bitch.
02:09Could Gwyneth be referring to Winona's infamous shoplifting scandal in 2001?
02:13It took years for her career to recover,
02:16but it finally did thanks to roles in Stranger Things and Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice.
02:20It's safe to say her friendship with Gwyneth, however, will not be making a comeback.
02:24It's safe to say her friendship with Gwyneth, however, will not be making a comeback.
02:26Thank you for listening!
