Gwyneth Paltrow’s Brutal Nickname For Rival Winona Ryder Revealed
Reading Time: 2minutes
Gwyneth Paltrow has been working with Hollywood’s best and brightest for over 30 years now.
And as expected, the new biography about Paltrow contains lots of scalding hot tea about Gwyneth’s romances, her friendships, and, yes, her feuds.
One of the book’s most surprising revelations is that Gwyneth is no fan of Winona Ryder’s.
In fact, it seems she was once fond of using a genitalia-inspired nickname to refer to her fellow Gen X icon.

Gwyneth Paltrow accused Winona Ryder of pathological lying
According to Gwyneth: The Biography by Amy Odell — which hit stores yesterday — Paltrow and Ryder were besties at one point.
In fact, Gwyneth moved in with Winona following her breakup with Brad Pitt.
It was an idyllic time — until Gwyneth started suspecting Winona of compulsively lying.

Winona claimed that she was robbed twice during that period, and Gwyneth — simply didn’t believe her.
Perhaps Paltrow felt that her friend was making up the stories for attention, or to gain sympathy from her new boyfriend.
Whatever the case, the situation led to a falling out — and an amusing new nickname.
Gwyneth allegedly referred to former friend as ‘Vagina Ryder’
“Damon consoled her, but Gwyneth and Affleck believed Ryder fabricated the robberies as a ploy for attention (there’s no proof of this),” Odell writes in her book (per Page Six), adding:

“Gwyneth was annoyed that Damon couldn’t see it. Though Damon was kind to her friends, Gwyneth didn’t seem to like him after that.”
The rift between the ex-friends proved to be irreparable, and some of Gwyneth’s insults for Winona were truly — below the belt.
“Her friendship with Ryder would only deteriorate further, and Gwyneth gave her the nickname ‘Vagina Ryder,’” Odell writes.
Yes, it seems that things went south pretty quickly between these former besties.
And while Winona might still stretch the truth from time to time, at least she’s not out here dreaming up inventive new genital puns to roast her ex-roommate.
