Gwyneth Paltrow is ‘cleansing’ her spirit after she was left ‘horrified’ and ’embarrassed’ by Derek Blasberg’s recent diarrhea incident at her Hamptons home.
The Oscar-winner, 51, took to Instagram on ‘Wellness Wednesday’ to share footage of herself standing outside in the rain in a black one-piece bathing suit.
She recorded herself walking and swinging her arms around in her sprawling backyard as the rainwater soaked her body.
‘Letting this rain wash away the people places things that are no longer right for me,’ Gwyneth wrote.
She also noted that it is ‘time for a cleanse’ as she will soon ‘enter a 9 year (completion).’
In astrology, the ninth year is associated with spiritual growth and new beginnings.
Gwyneth kicked off ‘Wellness Wednesday’ by uploading a selfie that showed her looking incredible in a low-cut bodysuit.
She then shared her favorite ‘incense’ and skincare products.
Before braving the Hamptons downpour in only a swimsuit, Gwyneth relaxed in her sauna.
‘Rainy day sauna,’ the Iron Man star wrote over a makeup-free photo of herself mid-sweat.
Gwyneth may be keen on a ‘new beginning’ after insiders recently dished to DailyMail.com that she was left ‘mortified’ by Derek’s diarrhea and dash.
Earlier this month, DailyMail.com exclusively revealed that socialite and celebrity hanger-on Derek, 42, was the culprit behind the mortifying ordeal that was first mentioned as a blind item in a popular gossip newsletter.
Since then, both Gwyneth and the fashion journalist have stayed silent, with insiders claiming the Goop founder ‘feels bad’ but knows they need to avoid hanging out for the foreseeable future.
She is hopeful they will ‘eventually laugh’ at the incident.
‘Gwyneth would like to eventually laugh about this with Derek, but currently there is still much embarrassment,’ a source exclusively revealed to DailyMail.com.
‘They both know that if they are ever seen together or if he ever returns to her house, they go out to dinner, it will be the only thing people will be talking about.’
They continued: ‘It is not that they aren’t friends and won’t be friendly with each other in the future, it is just a bit difficult, and they both realize some time should pass before they hang out again.
‘The likelihood of them being friends in the future is pretty good – she has moved on from worse events in her life.’
The source claimed Gwyneth and her friends have all reacted similarly to the scenario, as they shut down claims the actress-turned-wellness guru is being seen as a snitch.
‘She thought that it was horrifying at first, but has since found the humor in it and has had a good laugh about it,’ they said.
‘Most of Gwyneth’s friends think it is shockingly hilarious and gross, but they aren’t thinking differently about Gwyneth.’
A new blind item from the email newsletter titled Popb***h made it clear that Gwyneth had not been the one to leak the story across the Hamptons set.
‘Ever since the phantom Hamptons c**pper was unveiled as celebrity barnacle Derek Blasberg, Gwyneth Paltrow has come in for quite a bit of flak,’ it read.
‘Society types are appalled she’d break a cardinal rule of hosting and blab about her guest’s gastrointestinal indiscretion. But in fairness to Gwynnie, the leak may not have been her.’
The report continued: ‘Gwyneth was lunching with Oprah Winfrey and Jerry Seinfeld when her irate housekeeper called, shouting loudly about the horrors she’d discovered, yelling about how much she hates ‘that f**ing friend’ of hers.
‘And – most damning – complaining about the tip that had been left at the scene of the crime.’
The source noted that Gwyneth strongly believed that the situation would soon be old news, and finished: ‘She does feel bad that it got out there and everyone in the world knows about it, but it will pass.’
The internet was whipped into a frenzy last month when the first blind item in popular gossip newsletter Popb***h stated that Gwyneth had been tasked with cleaning up someone’s ‘Ozempic-induced diarrhea’ at her home.
‘The story goes that a recent houseguest of Gwynnie’s catastrophically s**t themselves in bed while staying there, then fled back to the city before they had to face the music,’ it read.
Revealing that the scandal had become ‘the Hamptons set’s favorite piece of gossip to text to each other,’ the report continued: ‘Ozempic-induced diarrhea is becoming a very hot topic of conversation between hosts there – because so many of their guests are using it. So expect launderettes to be fully booked from July 4.’
Insiders later told DailyMail.com Derek – once described as ‘one of showbiz’s most well-connected men’ – was the culprit and that he had conveniently blamed the incident on the popular weight loss wonder drug before allegedly fleeing the property.
‘It’s not Ozempic, that’s just what he told everyone,’ the insider said, before revealing how the secret made its way through the Hamptons set.
‘Gwyneth told Oprah, Jerry and Jessica Seinfeld, and Larry David,’ they continued.
‘It’s shocking how many people know this story and how he has managed to keep it out of The Post… probably via his best friend [socialite Dasha Zhukova] – whose mom just married Rupert Murdoch.’
Derek had been no stranger to spending time with the actress at her five-bedroom Long Island home, where she hosted her wedding to Brad Falchuk in 2018.
In 2022 the fashion expert posted a snap of himself and the actress celebrating her 50th birthday at the sprawling property.
And it appears someone tried to out Derek as the phantom pooper four weeks before the news was revealed when they commented two poop emojis, a toilet emoji and a dynamite emoji on the Instagram post.
Before his recent toilet troubles put him firmly in the spotlight, Derek had maintained a relatively private life unlike some of his A list pals.
The former TV host and author, who penned Very Classy: Even More Exceptional Advice for the Extremely Modern Lady, not only counts Gwyneth as a close friend but also frequently spends his time with the likes of Karlie Kloss, Sienna Miller, Kendall Jenner and Demi Moore.
He most recently worked as the head of fashion and beauty partnerships at YouTube and is a contributing editor at Vanity Fair, Architectural Digest, and several international editions of Vogue.
Thanks to his influence and connections as a top fashion journalist, socialite, and television personality, his birthday parties often serve as a warm-up to the Met Gala for his A-list attendees.
For his 42nd birthday bash in April, A-list stars such as Anne Hathaway, Kate Hudson, Jake Gyllenhaal and Andy Cohen were in attendance.
In 2022 his bash was attended by Jeff Bezos, Hailey Bieber, and Leonardo DiCaprio among others.
Derek is also a senior staffer at the Gagosian Gallery and has contributed texts to The New York Times, WSJ Magazine, Elle, Women’s Wear Daily, Glamour, and The London Sunday Times over the course of his career.
He currently resides in New York with his partner, Imaginary co-founder Nick Brown.
Back in 2021, the pair welcomed twins Elizabeth Grace and Frederick Noah, three, via surrogate.
Elsewhere, the original blind item stated that the popularity of Ozempic is causing an issue among the rich and famous as they holiday together in the Hamptons this summer.
Ozempic, typically used to treat diabetes and allow people to shed weight quickly, has a common side-effect that affects one in 10 users.
In recent months, a handful of celebrities have admitted to using Ozempic, including Oprah, Elon Musk, Sharon Osbourne, Chelsea Handler and Robbie Williams.
