Speaking on the Good Hang With Amy Poehler podcast, Paltrow said: \u201cI was supposed to do a movie at one point and it was right after the conscious uncoupling thing with Chris, and there was a lot of harsh stuff in the press.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think the distributor was, like, this might be too hot to touch.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo that was great because I was getting a divorce and then I got fired. It was so awesome.<\/p>\n

\u201cI do understand why it was so personal for people, because it was. You only see that kind of reaction when it\u2019s personal.\u201d<\/p>\n
