C’mon guys, Goop is NOT The Honest Company!
Jessica Alba covers the September issue of Allure and well, she really wants the media to stop pitting women against each other!
As co-founder of her consumer goods company, the Sin City actress often finds that outlets are comparing her business with that of other A-list actresses.

Notably, Gwyneth Paltrow with Goop, Reese Witherspoon with Draper James, and Blake Lively with Preserve.
And guess what? She’s sick of it!
The 34-year-old exclaims:
“What I think is unfair is to lump actresses together.”
Speak your mind, girl!
In fact, she feels men aren’t subject to the same scrutiny!
“People aren’t lumping Justin Timberlake and Ashton Kutcher together. They do other businesses. I think it’s expected that when you get success in one area, you’re supposed to evolve and try to do something else├óΓé¼ΓÇ¥especially in business, and especially if you’re a man.”
She is of course talking about the singer buying a $35 million stake in MySpace in 2011, and the actor who moonlights as a venture capitalist.
Furthermore, the mother of two is also fighting against typecasting in Hollywood.
“I never wanted to play into a stereotype, where it’s like, ‘Oh, you’re just the girl who gets saved by the guy,’ and she doesn’t know how to make decisions, and she gets overwhelmed with all this stuff happening around her├óΓé¼┬ª Women are freaking resilient.”‘
We’re so glad Jessica is speaking up about this nonsense! About time!
Now go ch-ch-check out the rest of her spread in the gallery (above)!
