In her September cover story for Allure, Jessica Alba echoes close friend Gwyneth Paltrow, explaining she doesn't appreciate that the actresses-turned-entrepreneurs are compared so frequently.
The Honest Company founder told the magazine, "What I think is unfair is to lump actresses together." She continued, "People aren't lumping Justin Timberlake and Ashton Kutcher together. They do other businesses." In a previous interview with Time, Gwyneth specifically noted that "there's not a lifestyle piece" to Jessica's business, making the comparison simply misogynistic. Gwyneth doesn't want to be compared to Jessica, and the feelings are mutual.
