["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:

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
