Gwyneth Paltrow Is Sorry For Wearing Fur

Paul @ Gone Hollywood | Thursday, November 20, 2008

Gwyneth Paltrow has apparently told PETA that she “is sorry for wearing fur” in a recent photo shoot campaign for Tod’s.

The actress and all around super vegetarian came under fire from PETA after the ads showed her draped in a fox stole, the group released a statement saying “Gwyneth Paltrow won’t be the apple of her daughter’s eye if she continues to flaunt fur,” they also sent her letters and videos of “showing how people suffer for fur”.

But according to PETA’s senior vice president, Dan Mathews, the pair awkwardly chatted during the Fontainebleau Hotel opening in Miami last weekend.

Her excuse for wearing the fur: “It was a day-long photo shoot on a boat near Capri, and there were all sorts of poses behind and draped a stole around my shoulder. I didn’t pay much attention to it and when I noticed it was fur, I assumed it was fake fur, but did not ask, so it’s my fault. I was very surprised when they ended up using that one shot out of hundreds for the centerpiece of the Tod’s ads. I know it’s not a great excuse, but I hope you and your members understand.”

I myself don’t mind people wearing fur, but good for her actually apologizing for something she cares about. Oh and in case you are one of the very few people who do care about Gwyneth Paltrow, her marriage is reportedly on the rocks.
