P!nk has defended Gwyneth Paltrow's negative Met Ball comments, insisting the actress is "pretty punk" for saying what she did.

The Hollywood star wasn't too enamoured with the prestigious fashion event this year, recently claiming: "I’m never going again. It was so un-fun. It was boiling. It was too crowded. I did not enjoy it at all."

In a new interview with Australian radio station Kyle and Jackie O, Paltrow added: "“Do you want me to be honest? It sucked! It seems like it’s the best thing in the world — you always think, ‘Oh my God, it’s gonna be so glamorous and amazing and you’re going to see all these people’ and then you get there and it’s so hot and it’s so crowded and everyone’s pushing you.

“Kanye West was playing and he was all furious and he threw his microphone down and it was all drama. I don’t know why [he was mad].”

Chart-topping songstress P!nk has now jumped to Paltrow's defence, praising the blonde beauty for being honest.

Taking to Twitter, she wrote: "I think Gwyneth Paltrow is pretty PUNk for saying that the punk met gala sucked. Hahaha I love her. One of the nicest people I've ever met (sic)."
