PARK CITY, Utah (AP) — Gwyneth Paltrow wasn't to blame for a 2016 collision with a retired optometrist on a beginner run at a posh Utah ski resort during a ...

Paltrow is also known for her roles in “Shakespeare in Love” and the “Iron Man” movies. Paltrow’s defense team represented Sanderson as an angry, aging and unsympathetic man who had over the years become “obsessed” with his lawsuit against Paltrow. In response, Paltrow countersued for $1 and attorney fees, a symbolic action that mirrors Taylor Swift’s response to a radio host’s defamation lawsuit. Sanderson, 76, broke four ribs and sustained a concussion after the two tumbled down the slope, with Paltrow landing on top of him. The dismissal concludes two weeks of courtroom proceedings that hinged largely on reputation rather than the monetary damages at stake in the case. She also thanked the judge and jury for their work.

One of the jurors who served in the ski crash court case between Gwyneth Paltrow and Terry Sanderson speaks to ABC News exclusively.

This is based on the law," she said. I mean, this is based on the evidence. "I think there was, in the back of my mind, yes, this woman's an actress and I took that into account, but I didn't feel she had a reason to lie under oath," Imrie said.

I lost half a day of skiing,” said the actor. “But few of us are likely to remember what Depp wore, and he wore some remarkable outfits.” “We can go as far back as Clara Bow from the early 1900s, she was the most popular film star of her time,” said Emily Carman, a film historian and professor at Chapman University. “Don’t get me wrong, she’s wearing very expensive designer clothes, but to me, it looks like she just can’t be bothered with this trial process.” As thousands of Americans watched in real time, the jury decided that it was not Paltrow but Terry Sanderson, 76, who was “one hundred percent at fault.” The retired optometrist caused Paltrow harm, the jury said, and owes her one dollar as compensation of economic damages. “And then to see her involved in this nitpicky civil case, that’s fascinating.” The trial was held “amidst a carnival-like atmosphere with thousands of people milling around the L.A. The trial was reported as news around the world,” The New York Times’s Vanessa Freidman [described](https://www.nytimes.com/2023/03/29/style/gwyneth-paltrow-trial-outfits.html) courtcore as a precedent-setting, new style subgenre. Sanderson said Paltrow rear-ended him on a beginners slope, and didn’t stop to help.

After she wished him well upon the jury verdict, he responded, "Thank you, dear."

He responded, “Thank you, dear.” Rather than revealing GoPro footage though, it contained a chatroom discussion between members of Sanderson’s ski group, including the man claiming to be the sole eyewitness who testified Paltrow crashed into Sanderson. Sanderson’s daughter testified this week that an email she sent the day of the accident referring to a GoPro didn’t imply footage existed. After jurors were sent home Wednesday, both legal teams joked about the trial lawyer gimmick. The proceedings have drawn the world’s attention to Park City, Utah, the silver boomtown-turned posh ski resort where Paltrow and Sanderson crashed and the trial was held. Viewers tuning into proceedings on CourtTV saw Paltrow complain about losing a half-day of skiing after the crash and heard a radiologist testify that Sanderson could no longer enjoy wine tasting. To keep jurors engaged, Paltrow’s team shared a series of advanced, high-resolution animations to accompany their witnesses’ recollections. They said the accident caused Sanderson to grow distant from friends and family, and they called his ex-girlfriend to testify about how their relationship deteriorated because he “had no joy left in his life.” Paltrow’s legal team attempted to represent Sanderson as an angry, aging man who continued to travel internationally after the collision. Both sides marshalled ___ Here is a look back at highlights from the two-week trial:

As a result of the accident, Sanderson said he now speaks "upside-down and backward."

Paltrow's attorney, Steve Owens, said in a statement, "We are pleased with this unanimous outcome and appreciate the judge and jury's thoughtful handling of the case. She sought "symbolic damages" of $1 "plus her costs and attorneys' fees" for defending herself against "this meritless claim."

Paltrow stayed at the scene until a ski patrol came and asked Sanderson if he was OK, Owens told the court. As she left the courtroom, Paltrow bent over and whispered to Sanderson, "I wish you well." She said they both fell to the ground and she momentarily froze before becoming upset and yelling an expletive at Sanderson. Sanderson's daughter mentioned the GoPro in an email, but she said she was just speculating because helmet cameras are common at ski resorts. He said Paltrow hit Sanderson "hard" and bounced off him. He said the sole eyewitness to the crash was Craig Ramon, an acquaintance of Sanderson's. Ramon said once he reached them, Paltrow got up and did not answer whether she was OK. The instructor said Sanderson was the uphill skier and hit Paltrow from behind, according to his report. Sanderson apologized to her and he was fine, according to Paltrow's filing. Both Sanderson's lawsuit and Paltrow's filing cite an incident report filed by a Deer Valley ski instructor who was skiing with Paltrow's son. Sanderson said he suffered four broken ribs, a concussion and lasting brain damage that affected his daily life and personal relationships. He said after the collision, the actor got up and skied away and did not offer any help.

From "I wish you well" to "half day of skiing" to that Jeffrey Epstein reference, here are the most bizarre quotes around the Gwyneth Paltrow trial.

Paltrow replied, “Well, I lost half a day of skiing.” The quote was accurate and even appropriate for the line of questioning, given Paltrow’s ski resort bill came to more than $9,000 and she was countersuing for a symbolic $1. “Praise to the judge for not letting this be reenacted with Gwyneth being assaulted in front of us all,” Owens said. VanOrman asked if he regretted bringing his lawsuit, Sanderson replied, “That’s the purpose, I think, to make me regret bringing this lawsuit. Attorneys frequently flip back and forth during exams from chummy charm to vicious attacks as a strategy for trying to get witnesses off guard and to open up, but a few of VanOrman’s remarks struck viewers as sounding a bit like fangirl cringe: VanOrman asked Paltrow’s height (“just under 5’10”) and then VanOrman enthused, “I am so jealous!” Paltrow replied, “I think I’m shrinking, though.” VanOrman: “I have to wear 4-inch heels just to make it to 5’5″!” Paltrow dryly assured, “They’re very nice.” VanOrman later called Paltrow “small but mighty …” and then amended as if scolding herself, “Actually, you’re not that small …” When Paltrow confirms she’s a good tipper, VanOrman added, “Fantastic! But the most surreal “Where is this going?” bit was the extended cow-milking anecdote, which went like this (and mind you, this is a significantly shortened version): “I was in the legislature with a guy named Glen Brown. The team got into the Magna Carta, Pilgrims and even broke down Latin definition of “verdict” (Sir, is this going to be on the test?). … She says, ‘Terry hit me in the back …’ I think she sincerely believes she got hit in the back. suffering and loss of enjoyment of life.” Owens said during closing: “He doesn’t tell his [doctors] he’s flying all over the world, that he’s biking, that he’s the poster boy for fitness at age 75! Paltrow’s attorney Stephen Owens seemed to seal the deal against Sanderson on the second to last day of testimony, when he called Sanderson back up to the stand and did a slideshow presentation of his social media posts since the accident, showing the 76-year-old seemingly leading an active and happy lifestyle of vacation after vacation, which appeared to run counter to his claims that the accident left him with “permanent traumatic brain injury … And yes, they are in order from the least to the most wild.

Fashion is a big part of the Goop brand, so obviously it was going to be a big part of Paltrow’s Gwynnocence. It’s so petty, so rewarding, so Goopy. You may want the Goop, but can you handle the Goop?
