Gwyneth Paltrow has been left “horrified” after a good pal had a “catastrophic” poo incident.
Paltrow, 51, was mortified when her long-time friend Derek Blasberg seemingly lost control of his bowels while at her home. He promptly then fled the scene, but Gwyneth is said to be hopeful that the pair will “eventually laugh” the incident off.
It was revealed earlier this month that Derek, who is known as a socialite in Beverly Hills, was the culprit behind the awkward gaffe at Paltrow’s home in the Hamptons. The incident was first reported on by gossip outlets online before Blasberg was eventually unmasked as the person responsible for the gaffe.

Since the allegations were made, neither actress Gwyneth nor fashion journalist Derek, 42, have made a public statement on the claims. However, sources close to the Goop founder have said that Paltrow wants to put the debacle behind her.

“Gwyneth would like to eventually laugh about this with Derek, but currently there is still much embarrassment,” an insider admitted to the Daily Mail. “They both know that if they are ever seen together or if he ever returns to her house, they go out to dinner, it will be the only thing people will be talking about.”
The insider added at the friendship between the pair has not been called off, but rather the two will need to spend some time apart to let the storm pass. “The likelihood of them being friends in the future is pretty good – she has moved on from worse events in her life,” the source joked.

The insider added that Gwyneth, who starred in the likes of Glee and Shallow Hal, initially was horrified at the chaos, but has since “found the humour in it” and is now seeing things from a much more positive perspective. “Most of Gwyneth’s friends think it is shockingly hilarious and gross, but they aren’t thinking differently about Gwyneth,” they went on to say.
As well as this, it has been confirmed that Gwyneth was not the person who leaked the story to the media. The source added that the wellness guru hoped the story would be old news in no time.

According to newsletter Popbitch, it is believed that Paltrow had been lunching with Oprah Winfrey and Jerry Seinfeld when her housekeeper phoned to tell her that one of her guests had defecated in their bed. The internet was then set ablaze as it was revealed that Gwyneth herself was given the task to clean the “Ozempic-induced diarrhoea” that had taken over the bed.
However, sources close to Gwyneth insisted that Ozempic – a medications which a number of famous faces have used to help them lose weight – was not to blame. “It’s not Ozempic, that’s just what he told everyone,” an insider revealed.
