Watch: Gwyneth Paltrow skiing accident trial verdict read

The civil case against Gwyneth Paltrow over a 2016 collision with another skier on a Utah slope entered its final stages when lawyers began presenting closing arguments in a trial that has combined celebrity culture and mundane claims about right of way into a courtroom spectacle.

The Gwyneth Paltrow ski trial has left the internet salivating for more. The Oscar-winning actress has been in a Utah court for the last two weeks after Terry Sanderson, a retired optometrist, sued her over a ski crash in 2016. Sanderson claimed she injured him during a crash, but Paltrow says it was Sanderson who skied into her (and is countersuing).

But people haven't really cared about who hit whom. They've cared about Paltrow's nonchalant response to how she felt about the crash: "Well, I lost half a day of skiing." And about how she offered treats to courtroom bailiffs. And about her relationship with Taylor Swift, given she and Swift are both celebrities who have sought $1 in lawsuits. And have we mentioned Paltrow's elegant, ethereal and likely expensive courtroom looks?

  1. Why didn’t Paltrow thank her lawyer before leaving the court……and wonder what she said to her accuser upon leaving the court room.

  2. I think they got it right. She may be eccentric, hard to like, etc., but he was simply lying. I bet he regrets the extravagant vacations he took after this ski trip.

  3. *_Judge: no recording devices, yet here it is on Youtube for the whole world to see ?? lol_*
