Apple Martin has taken to social media to definitively debunk rumors concerning her past school experiences, which gained traction following her appearance at Le Bal des Débutantes in Paris. A viral clip led to accusations that she was a bully and had been expelled for bad behavior.
Responding via Instagram stories in February 2026, Martin asserted that the narrative is entirely false. She clarified, "I have never been expelled from any school, especially not for bullying anyone." She further acknowledged the online space for opinions but stressed that the bullying rumor is untrue.
Martin also referenced a TikTok video from 2024 where she and friends humorously addressed criticisms. Aliénor Loppin de Montmort, a fellow debutante, defended Martin, calling her "genuinely the nicest girl ever."
Her mother, Gwyneth Paltrow, has previously expressed concerns about the online backlash her daughter faced, particularly after performing her song "Satellites." Paltrow noted the challenges of potential "nepo baby" perceptions for her children, Moses included, while remaining proud of their artistic aspirations.
Currently studying law, history, and society at Vanderbilt University, Martin has shifted her career aspirations from law school to acting, her ultimate dream.
