Gwyneth Paltrow Faces Backlash Over Controversial Ad

is facing fierce backlash for working with convicted felon and con artist Anna Delvey on a collaboration for .

The 35-year-old, whose real name is Anna Sorokin, is famously known for falsely . 

She was found guilty in 2019 and spent 19 months behind bars before being released in 2022 on house arrest in , which requires her to wear an ankle monitor.

Delvey shamelessly poked fun at her house arrest in a video ad posted to Goop Kitchen's official Instagram page on Saturday.

Her ankle monitor was front and center in the ad as she had Goop Kitchen's 'clean' food delivered right to her apartment door.

Wearing a chic outfit with her hair and makeup perfectly done, Delvey opens the door and says to camera, 'Can't go out? Don't be so dramatic,' before slowly shutting it.

The post, which has received over 11,000 'likes,' also featured the caption, 'For when you d̶o̶n̶'̶t̶ ̶w̶a̶n̶t̶ ̶t̶o̶ can't leave the house.' 

While some were amused by Delvey's shock cameo, many of Paltrow's fans were left outraged as they accused Goop Kitchen of 'promoting a criminal.'

The fast-casual concept quickly expanded, growing to 14 locations across California. 

And last month, a Goop Kitchen opened in Midtown West, with more to come in East Williamsburg and the Upper East Side.

Four additional locations are set to open by the end of the year.

Goop Kitchen's East Coast expansion will operate exclusively through 'ghost kitchens,' meaning orders will be available for delivery only.

The chain also promises '100 percent recyclable' packaging and a 'commitment to responsible sourcing,' including the use of local produce whenever possible.

However, the price point of Goop Kitchen may pose a barrier with roughly one in four New Yorkers living below the poverty line.

Standout menu items include a Chicken Caesar Wrap ($18), a Spring Salmon Bowl ($20), 'GP's Classic-ish Cobb' ($18), and a $25 pepperoni pizza.
