Gwyneth Paltrow Posts 5 Spoof Invites After Sam Altman Dinner Backlash

3 articles · Updated · Business Insider · Aug 21

Summary

  • Gwyneth Paltrow answered criticism of her reported Sam Altman dinner by posting Instagram invitations swapping in fictional guests including Shrek, Jessica Rabbit and M3gan.
  • The spoof cards copied the cream-and-blue design of the invite circulated after Puck reported an off-the-record dinner at her home for the OpenAI chief.
  • More than 800 comments hit the post by press time, with users mocking the "tech overlord" vibe, urging her to stop backing AI giants, or asking what the joke meant.
  • That backlash followed days of online criticism calling the dinner tone-deaf; a Reddit thread on the leaked invite drew nearly 500 comments.
  • Paltrow already has deep AI ties through Goop and personal investments, and said in May she uses AI as a "chief of staff."
