Gwyneth Paltrow is trying to consciously uncouple from the term "Conscious Uncoupling" -- and we ain't buying it!

So what does Gwyneth Paltrow think of the much mocked term, which she coined last year? In an interview with Fast Company, the often skewered star says she thinks the hubbub around the phrase (that she used to announce her split from Chris Martin in a blog post on her lifestyle site GOOP) is pretty great because, despite being endless mocked, it "touched a nerve." What a Gwyneth Paltrow thing to say!

That's like saying -- I like being made fun of because at least people are talking about me!

But here's our favorite part of the interview: Paltrow is also saying she isn't the one who came up with the now notorious term!

The Oscar winner claims that the the blog title was the work of her editorial director, Elise Loehnen, whom she says took the "conscious uncoupling" term from a psychologist. Paltrow said in the interview, "When I announced that I was separating on the website, [Loehnen] titled the piece 'Conscious Uncoupling' and I had no idea." Oh really?!

Immediately following the carefully worded announcement -- a huge backlash occurred but Paltrow says she appreciated it. The Iron Man 3 star said, "When something like that happens, I think everybody is like, 'Oh, s--t,'" she shared. "I just tell them that I think we are creating interesting discussions."

Interestingly enough we decided to look back at the original Goop post. And looky here: on March 25, 2014 Gwyneth posted the separation news with the following blog post.

    "It is with hearts full of sadness that we have decided to separate. We have been working hard for well over a year, some of it together, some of it separate, to see what might have been possible between us, and we have come to the conclusion that while we love each other very much we will remain separate. We are, however, and always will be a family, and in many ways we are closer than we have ever been. We are parents first and foremost, to two incredibly wonderful children and we ask for their and our space and privacy to be respected at this difficult time. We have always conducted our relationship privately, and we hope that as we consciously uncouple and coparent, we will be able to continue in the same manner. Love, Gwyneth & Chris"


Uhh maybe Gwyneth should reread her own posts or not sign her name to things she didn't write or not pretend she didn't come up with a ridiculous term because judging from that blog post? She definitely did use the dreaded "consciously uncouple" term in her post that definitely has her name attached to it!

BUSTED!
