Although Gwyneth Paltrow refused to name names, she blasted a former friend on her Goop.com website as a “frenemy”.

“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. My reaction was deep relief andâ�¦happiness. There went the high road.” Paltrow signs off by asking readers, “So, why does it feel so good to hear something bad about someone you don’t like?”

People magazine put together a short list of possible frenemies that fit into Gwyneth’s timeline. My vote is Winona. I’m pretty sure Gwyn is referring to that unfortunate shoplifting incident.

Jennifer Lopez
In 1998 Lopez, who was engaged to Paltrow’s ex, Ben Affleck, told a magazine she couldn’t recall any of Paltrow’s movies. In a later interview, Paltrow’s comments about marriage – “I don’t want to be married for six months and then say ‘Oh well, never mind, on to number two’ ” – were seen as a jab back at Lopez.

Winona Ryder
Ryder and Paltrow were BFFs, as the two starlets dated Affleck and Matt Damon. But the friendship soured when it was rumored Paltrow snatched the Shakespeare in Love role that won her an Oscar.

Jennifer Aniston
Paltrow played unbidden marriage counselor to her former beau Brad Pitt and Aniston, suggesting in a Time magazine article that things could have been “be a lot easier” for the couple “had they not talked to the press about each other and everything to begin with.”
