"I was supposed to do a movie at one point, and it was like right after the conscious uncoupling thing with Chris, and there was a lot of harsh stuff in the press, Paltrow said. I think the distributor was like, This might be too hot to touch.' Paltrow then agreed with Poehler's suggestion the film company's thinking was we don't need the heat."
"The phrase was widely mocked at the time, but Paltrow told Poehler she believes it was the mindfulness of her and Martin's approach to divorce that was really the cause of the backlash. Say you had had a really nasty divorce, or your parents had had a really nasty divorce, Paltrow said. And then you hear this idea that like, it doesn't have to be done this way."
Gwyneth Paltrow blamed negative headlines about her 2014 separation from Chris Martin, labeled 'conscious uncoupling', for losing a film role scheduled soon after. She recounted that a distributor considered the project 'too hot to touch' and that the company preferred to avoid the heat, leading to her being fired amid the divorce. The 'conscious uncoupling' announcement was followed by widespread mockery, which she attributes to public discomfort with a mindful approach to divorce and the implicit feeling that she had done something wrong. Paltrow is promoting Marty Supreme, playing a fading star and marking her return to movies after a decade.
