Here's What Gwyneth Paltrow Whispered To Her Accuser After Winning Ski Crash Collision Trial

The Oscar winner leaned in to say something to plaintiff Terry Sanderson as she left the courtroom.

Eight days and a lengthy list of witnesses later, Gwyneth Paltrow's accuser Terry Sanderson was found 100% at fault in the ski collision for which he sued the Oscar winner.

After the two-plus hour deliberation, the parties were released from the courtroom at which time Paltrow approached Sanderson, leaned over and whispered something to him. Her words were inaudible on the courtroom's live feed, but Sanderson acknowledged them and replied.


The Associated Press reported Sanderson told reporters outside court Paltrow whispered, "I wish you well."

Sanderson then replied:

"Thank you, dear."

People on Twitter thought the exchange was a cordial move for the Goop founder.





Of course, several also had their own theories...





Sanderson originally sued Paltrow for $3.1 million, claiming the Avengers actor slammed into him on the Deer Valley Resort slopes in Park City, Utah in 2016, but it was dismissed.

He later sought $300,000 in damages.

Sanderson accused Paltrow of skiing recklessly down the slopes which resulted in a violent collision. Sanderson, now 76, and his team claim the Oscar winner then left him on the ground as she and her group skied away.

Paltrow countersued for $1 plus legal fees.

Both parties claimed they were the victims. The trial used witnesses to determine who was the downhill skier at the time of the accident.

The jury determined Paltrow was the one struck by Sanderson.

After the trial, she took to Instagram to share her satisfaction with the results.

She wrote on her stories:

"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."

After seven years, she must be relieved to put this all behind her.

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
