Overview

• Gwyneth Paltrow recently revisited her 2023 ski trial during a podcast, describing it as 'ridiculous' and a 'shakedown'.
• The trial stemmed from a 2016 ski collision in Utah where retired optometrist Terry Sanderson accused Paltrow of negligence and sought $3.1 million, later reduced to $300,000.
• Paltrow countersued for $1 and legal fees, asserting Sanderson was at fault, and a jury ultimately ruled in her favor, finding him 100% liable.
• She emphasized her refusal to settle, stating that acquiescing to what she saw as a false claim would have compromised her integrity.
• The trial, which garnered widespread media attention for its celebrity spectacle, has reignited discussions on frivolous lawsuits and legal system reform.
