Gwyneth Paltrow recalls the 2023 win about the ski trip case; reveals she was 'shaken up' by the 'intense' experience

Gwyneth Paltrow, the ‘Iron Man’ actress, slams the retired optometrist who sued her for a hit-and-run ski case on the slopes of Utah nearly two years back, leading to him sustaining injuries. She set the internet by storm by stating the aftermath of a two-year-old case.
In an interview with The World’s First Podcast with Erin and Sara, Paltrow was a guest, and she opened up about the trial. The 52-year-old actress was sued by Terry Sanderson for $3.1 million after a 2016 skiing collision on a Utah mountain. However, she countersued Sanderson for $1 million, claiming that he was at fault, and the jury agreed with Paltrow.
Gwyneth stated, “I have to say, the idea that someone 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.’”
“It was ridiculous. That’s why I felt like I had to fight it. I was like, ‘I’m not going to be shaken down here.’ I’m not doing that,” she continued, according to Variety.
After the verdict was announced and the case was closed, Paltrow wished him well for the future. She released a public statement after winning the case, stating, "I felt that acquiescing to a false claim compromised my integrity. I am pleased with the outcome, and I appreciate all of the hard work of Judge Holmberg and the jury, and thank them for their thoughtfulness in handling this case.”
In a New York Times interview in 2023, Gwyneth revealed that the case was weird for her, acknowledging that she still hasn’t recovered from the ordeal and hasn’t processed the entirety of the case. “It was something I felt like I survived,” she said whle talkin about the emotional experience.
