It’s been over a week now since Apple Martin garnered considerable attention on social media due to a supposed faux pas at a debutante ball. A TikTok video seemed to show the 20-year-old daughter of Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin stealing a photo opportunity from a fellow participant. The clip eventually went viral and prompted considerable backlash against Martin, who was accused of being a “mean girl.” Now, the debutante that Martin stepped in front of is finally speaking out on the matter.
The young lady in question is Loppin de Montmort, who appeared alongside Apple Martin in the video taken from the Le Bal des Débutantes ball in Paris. In the clip, de Montmort posed for a picture in front of photographers, before the smiling Martin jumped in front of her and began posing herself. After that happened, de Montmort could be seen smiling and mostly shrugging off the now-viral moment. Well, it would seem that de Montmort’s seemingly nonchalant attitude over the photo op situation tracks with the recent comments she shared.
People caught up with Loppin de Montmort following the ball, and she shared a statement with the news outlet. According to her, Gwyneth Paltrow’s daughter (and look-alike) is not the “mean girl” that some believe her to be. De Montmort explained her experience with the following sentiments:
The debutante isn’t the first person to defend Apple Martin from criticism over the past week. Another participant in the night’s festivities, Sophie Kodjoe, also sang the praises of her fellow celebrity kid. Kodjoe – the daughter of actors Boris Kodjoe and Nicole Ari Parker – spoke fondly of her run-in with Martin and explained just how surprised she was that they ran in some of the same social circles. An insider also laid out claims regarding what really happened with Martin’s video. They alleged that she was being playful as opposed to mean when she stepped in front of the cameras.
More to come…
