Gwyneth Paltrow made headlines in early 2020 when a man accused her of skiing into him in Park City, Utah and leaving him with severe injuries. The Oscar-winning actress regularly went viral during the eight-day trial for her fashionable courthouse outfits and one-liners, but she recently revealed that she felt like it was “a pretty intense experience.”

“That whole thing was pretty weird,” she admitted during a recent interview with The New York Times. “I don’t know that I’ve even processed it.”

The jury ruled that Paltrow was not guilty for skiing into the man and instead found the plaintiff 100% at fault for the crash.

“It was something I felt like I survived,” she said. “Sometimes, in my life, it takes me a long time to look back and process something and understand something.”

The court trial captivated millions, drawing in more viewers than the Oscars that year. Many may have been tuning in for the juicy details, but others were more interested in the memorable fashion choices she made during those few days.

“I was just getting dressed and going to a pretty intense experience every day,” she said. “The sartorial outcome was so weird to me.”

The lawsuit was filed by retired optometrist Terry Sanderson, who alleged that Paltrow skied into him in 2016 and caused a serious collision. He claimed the crash left him with broken ribs, a concussion, and lasting brain trauma. Sanderson initially sued her for $3 million but the amount was later lowered to $300,000.

Paltrow countersued for $1 and legal fees, claiming he was the one who caused the crash.

“I felt that acquiescing to a false claim compromised my integrity,” she said after the verdict was shared. “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.”

It may have been a “pretty intense experience” for the actress, but she did have some parting words to share with Sanderson as she left the courthouse: “I wish you well.”

Nearly 30 million people tuned into the viral court trial across YouTube, Facebook and TIkTok.

That number trumps the 18.8 million viewers who tuned into the 2023 Oscar Awards ceremony, which had already seen an increase in viewership compared to the year before.
