Gwyneth Paltrow verdict: Why she divides, and fascinates (BBC News)

Having now ended in her victory, the star's trial over a ski crash has had the world rapt. It's all to do with her particular brand of unworldly celebrity, ...

["dangerous"](https://www.standard.co.uk/showbiz/gwyneth-paltrow-sparks-concern-podcast-diet-promotion-bone-broth-eating-disorder-b1067696.html). Her avatar of privileged white womanhood – inconceivably wealthy, hyper-fixated on things that most have never thought about (vaginal steamers, anyone?) – is a curious mixture of generational influence. These accessories all added to the drama, and as Twitter took serious delight in pointing out, she looked like nothing more or less than a woman on trial for ski-related crimes. And in today's relentlessly critical social media discourse, many find her schtick so over-the-top that they can't help but find it entertaining. There is something so absurd about Paltrow's image that it seems almost to transcend the disdain you might expect to be levelled at her for such flagrant unworldliness. Even her exceptionally trim body, at 50, is another part of the brand: recently, she has spoken about a bone-broth diet which has been widely criticised as What followed were eight frankly bizarre days of proceedings, featuring a phalanx of doctors, physicists (yes, really), and a defence attorney who repeatedly complimented Paltrow on her fashion sense and questioned her about her friendship with Taylor Swift. How to explain the sheer level of interest in the case? Before conscious uncoupling, her wellness brand Goop, or a child named Apple – never mind the public hoopla of a court case which naturally had to involve the most privileged of rich-person-accidents, a skiing collision – Gwyneth Paltrow was just a plain old movie star.

'Thank you, dear': A retired optometrist's 7-year quest to make ... (Fortune)

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:

Gwyneth Paltrow glides out of 'ski-and-run' trial with brand enhanced (The Guardian)

The Hollywood star turned luxury wellness guru not only convinced the jury but won plaudits for her poise and look.

[“Articles of Interest”](https://open.spotify.com/show/6XKe8xy5P16OLrkBW9oz0k) podcast – says Paltrow’s style does show a lot of care. Paltrow also endorsed “stealth wealth” – clothes that are expensive but do not overtly advertise it, don’t follow TikTok trends, and rely on subtler gestures and context. Her message, especially to working mothers like her was an empowering: “That bitch will get things done.” As indeed she did in the Utah courtroom. “It’s actually been enhanced because of how she handled herself with poise.” Paltrow’s victory will probably play to fans and detractors equally, with each finding reasons to firm up their original views of the Goop merchandiser. “What we’ve been seeing is essentially Gwyneth Paltrow’s greatest hits,” says Bob Thompson, professor of media studies at Syracuse University.

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? Yes, it felt a little ridiculous watching two well-off white people arguing about who hit whom, but in Paltrow’s defense, the whole thing was so very Goop of her and was, in fact, one of the Goopiest moments since releasing candles that smell like, um, “ [geranium, citrusy bergamot, and cedar.](https://www.vulture.com/2021/01/gwyneth-paltrow-goop-vagina-scented-candle-exploded.html)” For the past week, many of us (and Kelly Bensimon) have watched our close personal friend Gwyneth Paltrow stand trial for a ski-collision incident from seven years ago.

Opinion | Gwyneth Paltrow Ski Crash Trial (The New York Times)

This case has reminded us that the justice system is easily exploited in ways that are wasteful and stupid.

Ms. We deserve a system of justice that protects people who have suffered genuine injury through the negligence of powerful people and institutions, and that protects people who are vulnerable to potential harm. Paltrow stood up to leave the courtroom, and as she made her way out, she leaned over to Mr. To be fair, there are plenty of civil cases that deserve to go to trial, and the expense of doing so sometimes results in unfair settlements, which actually is another example of a two-tiered justice system. When going to trial is cost prohibitive for a plaintiff and this results in a subpar outcome, it’s an injustice. Going to trial is expensive, and efforts of people like Ms. The injuries he says he sustained, which he claims impaired his cognitive functions, “turned him into ‘a self-imposed recluse’” and generally ruined his life to the tune of $3.1 million, which is what he initially sought (later reduced to $300,000). This case has also reminded us that the justice system is easily exploited in other ways, some of which are wasteful and stupid. When a wealthy, famous person ends up in front of court cameras, it’s a reminder that we have a two-tiered justice system that overwhelmingly favors the rich and disproportionately punishes the poor and people of color. As a taxpayer whose money supports and pays for the machinery of our judicial system, I’m irritated that this trial happened and that until Thursday it was dominating what seemed like every major newscast. Sanderson’s claim that the accident has impeded his ability to taste wine properly, or Ms. Paltrow, whose net worth is [reportedly north of $200 million](https://www.cosmopolitan.com/entertainment/celebs/a40967047/gwyneth-paltrow-net-worth/), was awarded the amount she requested [in a countersuit](https://www.oregonlive.com/entertainment/2023/03/gwyneth-paltrow-wins-utah-ski-crash-trial-1-countersuit.html): $1.
