TIL that Gwyneth Paltrow is not just a harmless grifter (arstechnica.com)

I never went as far as to defend Gwyneth Paltrow, but after her Hot Ones appearance I created a post (which I will link in the comments) where I suggested that she's done no more harm than male grifters and that the dislike of her as a person was primarily due to misogyny. That's before I learned about her promotion of these unproven "vampire facials". Now an unlicensed clinic performing this procedure has given at least three women HIV. You guys were right and I was wrong.

Tbf, it's more like the tattooed celebrity was promoting back alley artists. It's a weird middle ground

I understand that she said it was a good and helpful procedure.

I don't think it's at all fair to say she told people to go to unlicensed places
