Gwyneth Paltrow Sums Up Her Infamous Ski Trial In 3 Words We Were All Thinking At The Time

Gwyneth Paltrow in court in 2023Gwyneth Paltrow is reflecting on her infamous ski court case.In 2019, the Oscar winner was sued by a man who claimed that she’d injured him when they crashed into one another while skiing in Utah three years earlier.She then countersued (for a token amount of $1), claiming it was actually him who’d run into the back of her, knocking her over in the process, and won her case.The Goop founder’s legal drama briefly dominated the headlines throughout her eight days in court in 2023, and in a new interview on The World’s First Podcast, co-hosted by Nobody Wants This creator Erin Foster and her sister Sara, Gwyneth agreed with what pretty much the whole world thought at the time.“It was ridiculous,” she said, summing up what pretty much the entire world was saying at the time. “And I have to say, the idea that somebody could ski into your back and knock you down and then sue you — I was like, ‘This is everything that’s wrong with our legal system’.”The man accusing Gwyneth of injuring initially sought a hefty seven-figure sum in his trial, an amount which was eventually dropped to just $300,000 as the case wore on (around £225,000).She added: “That’s why I felt like I had to fight it. I’m not gonna be shaken down here. I’m not doing that.”Gwyneth Paltrow at the 11th Breakthrough Prize Ceremony last monthAfter the jury ruled in Gwyneth’s favour and the verdict was declared, the Sliding Doors star had four words for the man who had sued her, telling him, “I wish you well”, as she made her way out of the courthouse.Following the ensuing media furore around the court case, it wound up inspiring not one but two musical stage productions, Awkward Productions’ Gwyneth Goes Skiing and I Wish You Well – The Gwyneth Paltrow Ski-Trial Musical, which starred former X Factor performer Diana Vickers in the title role.The former has since become a cult hit, even enjoying a run in Utah back in January, the state where Gwyneth’s court case unfolded two years earlier.READ MORE:Man Who Sued Gwyneth Paltrow Over Ski Crash Says Trial Was 'Absolutely Not' Worth ItGwyneth Paltrow And Meghan Markle React To 'Beef' Claims In Truly Epic WayGwyneth Paltrow Shares Complicated Feelings About Working With An Intimacy Coordinator On New FilmRuth Jones Admits She Doesn't Exactly Have The Best Memories Of Working With Gwyneth Paltrow
