Gwyneth Paltrow's Los Angeles neighborhood is home to some unwelcoming artwork.
Posters plastered on telephone poles and utility boxes mock the Oscar-winning actress's support for President Obama ahead of his visit to her home for a Democratic fundraiser on Thursday.
There appear to be two different posters, each tacked up in multiple areas around Brentwood. One features a photo of Obama, torn away from the American flag. The poster reads "
Conscious Uncoupling," a phrase popularized by Paltrow and her ex, rocker Chris Martin, when
they called it quits.
The second poster features Paltrow wearing an Obama button. Above and below the image are the words "Obama Drone."
While the posters are up near Paltrow's home, they reportedly aren't the work of disgruntled neighbors,
Curbed reports. Rather, they were created by a self-described artist who posts his right-wing views on his
Twitter feed.
The fundraiser is expected to raise big money for the Democratic National Committee, which faces a series of tough midterm elections next month.
For those attending, the seats won't be cheap. Tickets start at $1,000 per head. Backers willing to drop $15,000 will score a dinner (hopefully a good one) and photo with the president.
Of course, this isn't the first time somebody took a shot at Paltrow, whose Goop lifestyle site draws plenty of haters. Earlier this month, Martha Stewart said Paltrow should "
be quiet" and stop trying "to be Martha Stewart."
Asked about those comments, Paltrow
responded gamely. "I think that when anybody criticizes anyone, it's revealing more about where they are in time and space as opposed to where you are in time and space. I think generally we tend to lash out if we're in a, you know it's usually a reflection of something else. At this point in my life I don't take it personally. I see it as a projection."
