Gwyneth Paltrow Loved Ben Affleck Tea-Bagging, New Bio Claims
More details have emerged about Gwyneth Paltrow and Ben Affleck's relationship and apparently the vibes were According to Amy Odell's new book Gwyneth: The Biography (via Page Six), "She told Kevyn Aucoin in his London hotel room one day after lunch that she loved when Affleck 'tea-bagged' her." Odell also noted that, "It was the ribald side of her that her friends knew well but that the public didn't see." This comes amid other insights into Gwyneth and Ben's relationship, including the fact that they had amazing sex in general: "She spoke openly about how much she enjoyed their sex life." Obviously, Ben and Gwyneth didn't last—and this biography implies that he may have been unfaithful, with Odell writing "Gwyneth and Affleck broke up the next month, after a little over a year. Their physical chemistry couldn't overcome his self-destructive impulses, which may have even included cheating on her. After they broke up, Gwyneth said, 'I love men, even though they're lying, cheating scumbags.'" FYI, Gwyneth opened up about her relationship with Ben during Call Her Daddy saying that both he and Brad Pitt were "good kissers," and that when it came to who was better in bed, "That is really hard. Because Brad was like the sort of major chemistry, love of your life, kind [of hookup]. And then Ben was, like, technically excellent."
