Gwyneth Paltrow Uses The N Word On Twitter, Faces Major Backlash

Gwyneth Paltrow simply must find a better recipe for her words, since she's being forced to, well, eat them.
The actress, known for her healthy-living recipes and tips on lifestyle website Goop, got some unwanted Internet attention over the weekend for for posting a few unsavory messages on her Twitter account.
Paltrow, 39, was in Paris to support pal Jay-Z during his highly anticipated show with Kanye West Friday night, and got a VIP backstage view of the performance.
"Ni**as in paris for real," she wrote, presumably in reference to the duo's hit song by the same name.
According to MTV.com, however, it was singer/songwriter The-Dream who was commandeering her Twitter account that night and snapped the picture and wrote the caption.
In the accompanying photo, Paltrow, Jay-Z and Kanye are seen grooving onstage.
Twitter immediately lit up with angry users who bashed the actress for using the racial slur.
"Hold up. It's the title of the song!" she defended herself two days later.
The-Dream, who was tagged in the post, also quickly stepped forward to defend his pal.
"Fyi Sorry for the Confu I typed Ni**as in Paris for real from Gwens phone," he wrote the next day. "My bad I was Fkd up please excuse it! We were lit!"
His valiant efforts to explain the situation, however, were met with more negativity.
"Yep save that white princess," one user wrote in disgust.
This led to a few more tweets from The-Dream, telling the naysayers to take a much-needed step back.
"N---a doesn't have any power over me which is why this will be the last thing I say about it," he wrote. "A word means something when u react to it! ... Context is everything.
"Stop wasting God's time and do something with your life. Love not war."
On Tuesday, Whoopie Goldberg and her cohorts on "The View" gave their own two cents.
"I would ask Gwyneth this. I don't know that there's ever a time that a white person can say that and not get a backlash for using it," Sherri Shepherd said matter-of-factly. "If you got a group of people that say all the time that it offends them, even if you have friends who say, 'Oh it's okay,' there's always going to be a backlash."
"If you tweet it you eat it," Joy Behar agreed.
