Gwyneth Paltrow Is Charging HOW MUCH For A Diaper?! (Has Goop Become A Chaotic Good Force For Change?)
Gwyneth Paltrow is the most wild side character the universe has ever created, and we are HERE for it.
Paltrow sparked outrage just the other day when she posted a new luxury item for sale through her site GOOP. The item was a twelve pack of $120 gem-encrusted, luxury, disposable diapers a product that was coined The Diapér.
The internet was furious, screaming that diapers should not be sold for this much money - especially heightened anger, no doubt, given the political context of the baby formula shortage going on today.
Apparently, however, this was always the plan.
Paltrow pulled a full 180 on the world, stating plainly in an Instagram video:
"If treating diapers like a luxury make you mad, so should taxing them like a luxury."
MIC DROP. In the caption of the post the brilliant actor and business woman continued on to write:
"Despite the absolute necessity of diapers, in 33 states, they aren't treated as an essential item. They're taxed as a luxury good. (We priced our fictional Diapérs at $120, because that is what the diaper tax could cost families annually.)
"Right now, many families in need are also struggling as a result of the nationwide formula shortage. Donate to @baby2baby to help provide diapers, formula, and other essentials to families in need. Link in bio. #changethediapertax"
The star played the world and is fighting to make a change. GO GWYNETH PALTROW!
