Two years after Gwyneth Paltrow spent a day in court, the Hollywood powerhouse is giving her verdict on legal challenges.
The Oscar-winning actress and wellness influencer won the 2023 ski crash trial for retired optometrist Terry Sanderson.
Paltrow was sued by Sanderson in 2019 and claimed he was seriously injured in a crash crash on a beginner’s slope held at Deer Valley Resort in Park City, Utah in February 2016. Sanderson leaves him on the mountain without help, but Paltrow argues in a counterclaim that Sanderson plowed her from behind, and then says he is fine.
“That was ridiculous,” Paltrow told hosts Erin and Sarah Foster after the sisters praised her coat-in-court way. “And I have to say the idea that someone can ski on your back and knock you down and sue you.
Sanderson sought $300,000 in his lawsuit for damages from Paltrow, claiming that the accident was the result of negligence that left him physically injured and mentally painful. The man initially sought $3.1 million in a previous lawsuit, but it was dropped.
“Don’t it take a lot of courage to sit there for two weeks and get pounded like a punching bag?” Paltrow’s lawyer Steve Owens said in a statement of closing the trial. “The easy thing for my client would be to write a check and use it to do… It’s actually wrong that he hurts her and he wants money from her.”
The founder of Goop won after an eight-day trial in March 2023. The ju umpire ruled that Paltrow was not negligent on suspicion of a “hit and run” clash.
“So I felt like I had to fight that,” Paltrow said on “the world’s first podcast.” “I’m not going to shake you up here. I’m not doing that.”
Paltrow was awarded $1 in symbolic damages for her counterclaim, in addition to her attorney’s fees. Before the verdict, the actress vowed to donate additional funds to the charity that could potentially be awarded by the ju-degree.
