Apple Martin appears to be putting bullying claims behind her and is instead enjoying soaking up the sun poolside.
The 21-year-old daughter of Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin, who recently dismissed reports she had been expelled from school for bullying, didn't seem to have a care in the world as she shared a stunning bikini photo on Instagram on Monday.
Apple looked relaxed as she displayed her lean physique in a tiny, printed two-piece while sunbathing at the edge of the pool.
She wore her blonde hair up in a clip and appeared makeup-free, sporting rosy cheeks as she shielded her eyes behind a pair of sunglasses.
It was only last week that Apple set the record straight on reports about her high school experience that began swirling in late 2024 after she made her debut at Le Bal des Débutantes in Paris.
After a clip of her jumping into a fellow debutante's photoshoot went viral, Apple was accused of being a bully, with many claiming that her bad behavior began when she was a teenager and got her expelled from school.

"Hi! I didn't wanna respond, but this narrative is completely false and has gotten so out of hand," she wrote. "I have never been expelled from any school, especially not for bullying anyone.

She really doesn't deserve an ounce of what she's getting. She was the nicest girl ever towards not only me but all the debs!"
Apple is currently studying law, history, and society at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, yet her previous plans of attending law school have been put aside for her dream of being an actress.

"I don't wanna be a singer," she added. "I like musical theater, but getting onstage by yourself to sing is so terrifying. I love dancing, and I love acting. My dream is to act."
