A recent Instagram post by actress and wellness mogul Gwyneth Paltrow has ignited a wave of reactions online and on television after she was seen cooking breakfast topless for her husband, Brad Falchuk. The video, which shows Paltrow from behind at the stove without a shirt, became the talk show, where guest co-host Leslie Bibb and Jenna Bush Hager weighed in on the eyebrow-raising moment.
“Are her boobies out?” Bibb asked in surprise, to which Hager replied, “I believe she’s topless.” Bibb, best known for her role in White Lotus, wasn’t sold on the topless kitchen session. She shared her concern in a candid moment, saying, “I just worry about grease and burning.”
Bibb pointed out the hazards of cooking without proper protection, referencing her own experience with “little sizzlers” of food splattering onto her hands. “I don’t want that on my nips! That is like a real ‘go to the ER’ [situation],” she said while mimicking the need for an apron.
Safety Concerns Trump Style for Bibb
Bibb’s commentary took a humorous but serious turn when she recalled an unusual dining experience in Japan. “There was a place called No Pants Shabu-Shabu,” she explained. “The waitresses didn’t wear pants, and it’s boiling meat hot water and no pants. It feels like an ER visit waiting to happen!”
Her remarks echoed the sentiments of many viewers who questioned the safety of topless cooking. While Gwyneth Paltrow’s post was likely meant as a playful and intimate moment, Bibb emphasized practicality over performance. “We need the thing,” she said, motioning toward an imaginary apron. Her reaction brought a dose of realism to the viral moment, adding that she’s all for “everyone’s freak flag,” but within reason, especially when hot oil is involved.
Mixed Public Response to Paltrow’s Kitchen Confidence
Public reaction to Gwyneth Paltrow’s topless cooking video has been predictably divided. Some fans praised her for embracing body positivity and breaking social norms, while others critiqued her for ignoring basic kitchen safety. One social media user wrote, “No time to put on a shirt over an open flame but… time to make beans from raw. I don’t relate to this.” Another countered, “So many commenters are just prudes and don’t understand the joys of nudity.”
Even fellow celebrity Jennifer Garner chimed in with humor, commenting on the post: “Can I be your boyfriend?”
Whether people view Gwyneth Paltrow’s act as empowering or reckless, one thing is clear she’s once again succeeded in sparking conversation. As Bibb’s response highlights, personal freedom often clashes with practical concerns, especially in places like the kitchen, where creativity and caution must go hand in hand.
