Gwyneth is getting intimate.
In the newly released trailer for Gwyneth Paltrow‘s upcoming Netflix series “The Goop Lab,” the doyenne of dubious antidotes is leading her band of wellness warriors through various woo-woo exercises, including what looks like group orgasm therapy and an energy healing that ended in an exorcism.
The six-episode series premieres on Jan. 24 and will feature a team of researchers, doctors and alternative health practitioners to discuss their experiences with various wellness practices.
In one scene of the trailer, Paltrow’s curiosity is piqued by a specialist who runs workshops where “everyone gets off,” the practitioner says.
“What the f–k are you doing to people?” Paltrow, 47, asks with a grin. “Naked in a room with a bunch of women? I don’t know if I have the guts.”
Paltrow, who appeared at Sunday’s Golden Globes Awards in a risqué see-through gown, also teases an experience with a psychic who unveiled a secret not even her husband, Brad Falchuk, knew.
The show is hosted by Paltrow, the founder of Goop, and the company’s CCO, Elise Loehnen.
“What we try to do at Goop is explore ideas that may seem ‘out there’ or too scary,” Loehnen says in the teaser.
Ever self-aware, promotional images for the show have Paltrow posing amid an abstract vagina with the motto, “Reach new depths.”
Comments in the trailer amount to a collective groan at what many called “snake oil” tactics touted by Paltrow and her lifestyle site. Experts have been quick to point out that some of the practices Paltrow hawks are misleading, if not dangerous.
In the past, she’s gotten flak for promoting stickers that claim to heal by altering the body’s frequency levels, as well as “vaginal steaming” — a similar treatment of which left one woman with severe burns. And she had to pony up $145,000 in fines for unsubstantiated claims about jade vaginal eggs.
“[The show] seeks to dial up the aesthetics and quality of storytelling surrounding issues like mental, physical and sexual health,” Loehnen tells the Guardian.
