Fitness favorite Tracy Anderson was accused of shading Meghan Markle in a new video advertisement for Gwyneth Paltrow‘s Goop.
The workout guru, who founded the celeb-loved, self-titled Tracy Anderson Method, appeared to mock The Duchess as she introduced the new Tracy’s Green Goddess Crunch Salad in partnership with Goop Kitchen, Paltrow’s new delivery-only dining empire.
Anderson’s workout classes have not only been touted by Paltrow herself, but also Kelly Ripa, Jennifer Lopez, Nicole Richie and even Harry Styles.
A membership to the elite program costs $900 per month with a $,1500 initiation fee.
However, it looks like Anderson is taking up a new hobby in the kitchen as she explained how to make her new salad in a video that was posted to both her and Goop’s Instagram pages.
She opened the clip by telling viewers, ‘Hi, I’m Tracy Anderson, and welcome to my actual kitchen,’ pausing for dramatic affect.
Many viewers thought thought that was a dig at Markle, who filmed her highly panned new Netflix show With Love, Meghan in a different home rather than her own.
Anderson continued to show viewers exactly how they can create the salad during the video, which included kale, watermelon radish, carrots and cabbage.

Markle’s show, which premiered earlier this month, sees her hosting a variety of famous friends like comedian Mindy Kaling in the kitchen as they make meals together and create home décor, like beeswax candles.
Fans of the show flocked to Anderson’s comments on the Instagram video to call her out for what they thought was some shade thrown at The Duchess.
‘Hmm Mean Girls is sooooo 2004! Maybe reflect on your comment before you say next time,’ one person wrote.
Another agreed, ‘Shocking a woman cutting another woman down with a little passive aggressive snark. Do better.’
‘This was an unnecessary dig. You can’t tell us you didn’t know EXACTLY what you were doing. Tell me you’re not a girl’s girl without telling me you’re not a girl’s girl,’ someone else typed.
A different user shared, ‘It’s 2025, babe. We’re not mean-girling and screwing over other women while we continue to fight for our rights and protections.’
Others, however ran to Anderson’s defense, claiming that they had heard her use the term in her previous videos.
‘Pretty sure you’ve used the words “my own kitchen” in many other videos I’ve seen of you in your kitchen over the years… lol,’ one Instagram user penned.

After posting the video, Anderson herself tried to make amends as she awkwardly backtracked in the comments section, writing, ‘Absolutely no shade intended’
Another seconded, ‘I’m confused why people are upset. I see nothing wrong with what Tracy said.’
After posting the video, Anderson herself tried to make amends as she awkwardly defended herself in the comments section.
‘Absolutely no shade intended! I mentioned cooking in my own kitchen simply to show that I’m at home, rather than in the professional goop kitchen. Always sending love and togetherness to all women,’ she wrote in a message, which was followed by three red heart emojis.
A source close to the situation said to DailyMail.com that Anderson was not trying to bash Markle.
They reiterated that she was simply explaining that she was filming in her own kitchen due to the Goop collaboration, and her goal has always been to support women.
DailyMail.com reached out to both Anderson and Markle for comment.
Anderson’s supposed shade comes just one day after Goop owner Paltrow gave her true opinion on Markle to Vanity Fair.
Interestingly enough, Paltrow and Meghan live quite close to each other in the small area of Montecito.
‘I don’t know Meghan and Harry,’ Paltrow divulged to the magazine.
She said, ‘I mentioned cooking in my own kitchen simply to show that I’m at home, rather than in the professional goop kitchen. Always sending love and togetherness to all women’

‘I mean, I’ve met Meghan, who seems really lovely, but I don’t know her at all,’ she continued. ‘Maybe I’ll try to get through their security detail and bring them a pie.’
The actress admitted that she hadn’t seen the duchess’ new show, but said she is not feeling any competition between the two.
She told Vanity Fair, ‘When there’s noise about certain women in the culture, I do have, always, a strong instinct to stand up for them.’
The mom-of-two added that she embraces bringing Markle, and others, into the wellness and lifestyle space.
‘I was raised to see other women as friends, not foes,’ Paltrow said.
‘I think there’s always more than enough to go around. Everybody deserves an attempt at everything that they want to try,’ she continued.
