What caused Gwyneth Paltrow and Madonna's friendship to crumble? Here's what the biography says
and
Madonna
, the ex-best friends, were once the life of the Hollywood town, but things took a drastic turn after a bizarre incident. Paltrow had her guards up against the pop singer, and over the years, things have not changed.
Gwyneth Paltrow and Madonna were friends until
According to People, Gwyneth and Madonna became friends when the 'Iron Man' actress was a student at a posh high school who used to smoke as a time pass. The actress' father, Bruce Paltrow, was concerned and asked his director friend, Leo Penn, to ask his son, Sean, to ask his new wife to write a letter for Gwyneth.
Madonna wrote a letter, which encouraged the 52-year-old actress to quit. They became friends as Paltrow grew older and were often seen together in workout attire when she was living with her partner,
Chris Martin
.
'Their relationship reached a breaking point when Madonna showed up on an island where Gwyneth and Martin were vacationing,' the author of Paltrow's upcoming biography wrote in the book. 'Madonna seemed to know that Gwyneth would be there, which Gwyneth seemed to find strange,' Amy Odell added.
Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin were disgusted
Furthermore, Madonna insisted that the then-couple, Gwyneth and Chris, join a huge group at a long dining table where the singer went off on her daughter, Lourdes, making the ex-duo disgusted.
Odell wrote, 'Gwyneth and Martin were disgusted by the behavior. 'I can't be around this woman any more,' Martin told Gwyneth. 'She's awful.' Gwyneth agreed that Madonna was toxic and ended the friendship.'
In the book, Paltrow has also addressed many other 'juicy things' in her life, and one of which is her on-and-off relationship with
Ben Affleck
after she broke up with
Brad Pitt
. While her friends deemed him an 'intellectual match,' they also stated that he was more interested in playing video games with his friends than with her.
