(NewsNation) — Gwyneth Paltrow had a disturbing incident at her Hamptons house when a houseguest had a severe accident in a guest bedroom.
The man, a male socialite who regularly appears in Vogue magazine (I know his identity, but I am withholding it as he’s not “famous” and he’s having a hard enough time as it is), spent the weekend at Paltrow’s Amagansett home earlier this month.
Like many others in the Hamptons this year, this guest was on a weight loss supplement and, like many others, experienced discomforting side effects. “He (had a fecal accident in) the bed,” my sources said.
According to GoodRx, “Ozempic can cause side effects, especially gut-related symptoms like nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. About 8% of people experience diarrhea while taking Ozempic… (but) is a much more common side effect for people who take Wegovy.”
Upon waking up, the guest naturally freaked out, but instead of trying to clean up the mess, he decided to bolt in the wee hours of the morning, leaving not just the filthy bed but also a note for housekeeping and $100.
According to my sources, the housekeeper — who has been with Paltrow for over a decade and is considered family, was “very upset” — as was Paltrow, who then relayed the story to Oprah Winfrey, Jerry Seinfeld, and Larry David.
The story spread and was printed in the British gossip newsletter PopBitch Thursday. Now, Hampton’s denizens are frantically ordering mattress covers to protect their eye-wateringly expensive horsehair mattresses.
The guest is keeping a low profile in the city. A rep for Paltrow didn’t return calls.
