Gwyneth Paltrow says she has a very nasty side

Gwyneth Paltrow has opened up about the darker side of her character."Oh yes, I can be mean. I can cave in to gossip. I can ice people out and I can definitely harbour revenge. In fact, I’m having a situation right now with a friend where I’m feeling pretty angry. But revenge is corrosive and it doesn’t make me feel good. . . I’ll wake up in the morning and think, ``Ugh, I feel terrible``, and suddenly realise, ``Ah, that’s why. I’m holding on to so much hate," the Daily Telegraph quoted her, as telling the latest British Vogue.

In 2009, Paltrow, 37, went public about a "frenemy" on the Goop website: "Back in the day, I had a "frenemy" who, as it turned out, was pretty hell-bent on taking me down. This person really did what they could to hurt me. I was deeply upset, I was angry, I was all of those things you feel when you find out that someone you thought you liked was venomous and dangerous. I restrained myself from fighting back. I tried to take the high road. But one day I heard that something unfortunate and humiliating had happened to this person. And my reaction was deep relief and…happiness. There went the high road. So, why does it feel so good to hear something bad about someone you don’t like?" ANI
