If you’re anything like me, you heard the name “Julie Klausner” and thought, “Wait, I remember something weird about her?” The only reason I know her name is because Klausner started an absolutely insane Twitter beef with Zendaya earlier this year. Zendaya was doing her thing at the Kids Choice Awards and Klausner, who is nearly 20 years older than Zendaya, tweeted out a series of insults about Zendaya’s body – go here to review. So, we’re talking about Julie Klausner again. She’s the creator of the Hulu show Difficult People, which is produced by Amy Schumer Poehler. The premise of the show is that Klausner and Billy Eisner play two jaded, cynical comedians in New York. So when Klausner was chatting with Page Six, she was asked about her history as a “showbiz insider,” and if she’s heard any juicy gossip.

“Difficult People” creator and showbiz insider Julie Klausner says Hollywood stars only pretend to be pals — and Gwyneth Paltrow is among the phoniest “backstabbers” in Tinseltown.

“They pretend that they are [all great friends], but the stuff that is said about people behind the scenes is really terrible,” she told us at a second season premiere of her Hulu show. “Well — Gwyneth Paltrow — there’s many a tale to tell. All kinds of backstabbing.”

While comedian and writer Klausner was mum on the specific details, she figured of Paltrow, “she’s into [Eastern therapy] cupping now — maybe she’s cupping instead of backstabbing.”

Klausner is starting to sound like her character on “Difficult People,” in which she stars with Billy Eichner as two struggling New York comedians who hate everyone. Paltrow, whose showbiz pals include Jessica Seinfeld, Mario Batali and Jay Z, was once superclose with Madonna, but the duo fell out over the Material Girl’s ex-trainer Tracy Anderson, who is now sculpting Paltrow’s derriere, as well as those of many Hamptons and Manhattan moms.

Klausner has taken a shot at Paltrow before; in March, she tweeted, “Click here to witness the chemistry between Gwyneth Paltrow and Jimmy Fallon AKA the comedy version of ammonia and bleach!”

I’ve always wondered about the Gwyneth Paltrow-Madonna falling out. I always assumed it was about Tracy Anderson, but I suspect there are more layers to it too. Even though Gwyneth wants to brand herself as The Ultimate Girl’s Girl, I suspect she’s not. I suspect Gwyneth is exactly who we think she is: the kind of smug, name-dropping, humble-bragging elitist who will talk sh-t about you behind your back. Now, all that being said, Klausner seems like the kind of person who tries to bad-mouth bigger celebrities in an attempt to raise her own profile.
