Gwyneth Paltrow just wanted to show off her cooking skills, but people thought she was being shady about Meghan Markle's TV show.
The Goop founder has now reacted to the feud rumors that started after she shared a video of her baking up a storm in her incredibly stylish kitchen.
She shared the video saying it was 'a cleaner take on a classic breakfast' which featured 'not-so-perfectly cooked over-easy eggs, and crispy bacon' with the hashtag 'boyfriend breakfast'.
However, fans were quick to claim there was a 'war to be US lifestyle queen' going on.

Commenters praised her cooking video, writing: "Love this. No fake house, fake kitchen, fake hair extensions, fake friends just your beautiful true self. Such a breath of fresh air to see."
Another had a dig at Meghan, writing: "With Shade, Gwyneth... I see what you did there", a spin on the title of Markle's series, 'With Love, Meghan'.

One jibed: "Wait a minute... when you cook breakfast, you need to wear all the diamonds, a Cartier, and a white sweater."

Gwyneth has now hit back at claims of a feud between the two, as she answered fans questions on her social media.
A fan asked Gwyneth on Instagram: "Are you comprehending the Meghan Markle beef that social media says you two have?"
"I genuinely do not understand this at all whatsoever," she insisted before panning the camera around to reveal Meghan sitting nearby, shrugging and laughing, as Gwyneth asked: "Do you understand this?"
Meghan also reshared the video onto her social media.

The video comes after Gwyneth told Vanity Fair in an interview: "I don’t know Meghan and Harry."
She added: "I mean, I’ve met Meghan, who seems really lovely, but I don’t know her at all.
"Maybe I’ll try to get through their security detail and bring them a pie."

It seems the pie mission was successful, as Meghan was seen with a slice in front of her.
Gwyneth responded to the controversy surrounding Meghan, explaining that whenever 'there’s noise about certain women in the culture, I do have, always, a strong instinct to stand up for them'.
"I was raised to see other women as friends, not foes. I think there’s always more than enough to go around. Everybody deserves an attempt at everything that they want to try", she said.
Gwyneth regularly holds Q&A sessions with her 8.7 million fans, answering their queries about life, motherhood, and her business.

Meghan previously ran a lifestyle blog called The Tig from 2014 until 2017, while Gwyneth runs Goop.
The rumors of the feud intensified after Gwyneth used a song which many people associate with Meghan's show, as she soundtracked a video with the song with Natalie Cole's 'This Will Be (An Everlasting Love)'.
It seems the duo have put these rumors to bed now thanks to the video.
