Goop fans complain anonymously about Gwyneth Paltrow's "greedy, exploitative" health summit.

In the time since Gwyneth Paltrow made her very public pivot from actress to wellness aficionado, she&#39;s bestowed plenty of unsolicited health advice on an unsuspecting public. There&#39;s been super sad diet advice, gold-plated butts, and who could forget the ol&#39; rock-in-the-hooha scandal?And with Gwynnie&#39;s advice, there&#39;s often a giant price tag (that golden booty was $370, I&#39;ll have you know). So it&#39;s no surprise that her latest caper was to swindle the public into paying thousands of dollars to attend what basically amounted to a weekend-long advertisement for... well, herself.Goop&#39;s London Health Summit &quot;In Goop Health&quot; took place in London last weekend, and it cost a mere $5,700 to attend, according to Page Six. It included seminars on why &ldquo;creativity with your hands is like channeling God,&rdquo; how to &ldquo;hydrate mindfully,&quot; sound baths, and a Tracy Anderson workout.You do almost have to admire the chutzpah.Some attendees were shocked that the event didn&#39;t deliver on its price tag &mdash; because sweeties, it&#39;s a weekend of health panels, how could it?!

One attendee said: &ldquo;Gwyneth acts like she&rsquo;s a health goddess, but actually she&rsquo;s a pretentious, greedy extortionist. She had a ton of security . . . She was unapproachable. She did the minimum &mdash; a few fireside chats with Twiggy and Penelope Cruz, then she put on her Birkenstocks and snuck out . . . I was a huge fan of Gwyneth; now I feel like I have lost my faith in God.&rdquo; Page Six claims one prominent British celeb guest WhatsApped all her friends, &quot;GP is a f**king extortionist.&rdquo;And another said: &ldquo;Gwyneth acts like she&rsquo;s a health goddess, but actually she&rsquo;s a pretentious, greedy extortionist.

The Goop Instagram enjoyed plenty of positive comments under its Goop-summit-related posts. With bland sentiments like these, it&#39;s easy to imagine fans going wild:         View this post on Instagram           #IngoopHealth #goopquotes A post shared by  goop (@goop) on Jun 29, 2019 at 3:02pm PDTWell, some fans.

Yesterday was absolute fun in the sun, @goop World right next door to @therivercafelondon Overlooking the Thames doesn’t get much better.

I sat on a panel hosted by one of my Goop faves @eliseloenan with my friends Raj Bhachu, @evekalinik and Rozzy @sagenutrition (who’s also my best friends neighbour!). I haven’t seen any of them in a couple of years but what a small, small world 🌎 Check out stories for more going’s on, and remember guys to stay hydrated - I talked so much I felt a bit fuzzy in the heat yesterday - thank you @sjaniel for saving me!

And all we have to say is, that&#39;s a lot of jade vibrators.
