If you haven't been glued to the legal back-and-forth ski collision lawsuit between actress Gwyneth Paltrow and optometrist Terry Sanderson, you've been missing out.
Skiing, suiing, counter-suing: this had it all.
However, Sanderson, who ultimately lost the lawsuit and was forced to pay the $1 + Legal fees to Paltrow, told reporters he was disappointed in the trial, especially the highly publicized series of legal proceedings.
When asked if it was worth it, he replied:
"Absolutely not."
"It's like, I'm going to be on the internet forever."
He did also reveal to reporters at the end of the trial—in a picture that had many people wondering what she said—Sanderson reported Paltrow said:
"I wish you well."
As this was the popcorn lawsuit entertainment for the past month or so, there were plenty of comments as the trial wrapped up.
People were torn between reading Paltrow as ice cold or as quite classy.
\u201c@PopBase Ice cold. You just know she's hitting the slopes first thing.\u201d— Pop Base (@Pop Base) 1680218055
\u201c@PopBase Not a fan of her. I do not like her snobby way, but as a skier, I believe he skied into her. Her testimony made sense. His did not. That was a decent, civil & classy statement to say to Sanderson before she left the courtroom.\u201d— Pop Base (@Pop Base) 1680218055
\u201c@therecount She showed a lot of class especially when she was sued with this meritless suit.\u201d— The Recount (@The Recount) 1680219838
Others were interested to hear what she wanted to say to Sanderson.
\u201c@PopBase Gwyneth: \u201cI wish you well.\u201d \n\nNarrator: \u201cGwyneth did not wish him well, in fact Gwyneth wanted the man to walk outside and get hit by a bus.\u201d\u201d— Pop Base (@Pop Base) 1680218055
Some came up with their own version of what she might have said.
\u201c@therecount "Tell Cersei, I want her to know it was me." \ud83d\udc09\u201d— The Recount (@The Recount) 1680219838
\u201c@therecount Pretty sure she whispered \u201cwomp womp\u201d\u201d— The Recount (@The Recount) 1680219838
For those who were glued to the spectacle, now that it's over they want it more formally adapted.
\u201c@PopBase This whole trial needs to be sold to Hulu\u201d— Pop Base (@Pop Base) 1680218055
Others, however, are on the "this was stupid" train of thought.
\u201c@PopBase i have genuinely never been so confused in my life like what was the point of this case\u201d— Pop Base (@Pop Base) 1680218055
In regards to Sanderson, many folks wondered what he thought would happen if he sued a celebrity.
\u201c@PopBase What do you think was going to happen luv?? It\u2019s Oscar winner bone broth icon gweneth Paltrow\u201d— Pop Base (@Pop Base) 1680297933
\u201c@PopBase What exactly did he think was going to happen by suing a celebrity? Oh yeah, he was probably hoping she would settle of court before the trial began but oh well, those are the cards that were dealt\u201d— Pop Base (@Pop Base) 1680297933
At the very least we can all get what he's feeling right now.
\u201c@PopBase i know he\u2019s embarrassed\u201d— Pop Base (@Pop Base) 1680297933
On the bright side for Sanderson, while this was definitely a public spectacle, the public's attention span is very short.
We'll probably forget this ever happened.
\u201c@PopBase I can assure him that I had no idea this was even happening and he pretty soon I\u2019ll forget again. Everyone else will probably too.\u201d— Pop Base (@Pop Base) 1680297933
Someone else was a bit more blunt.
\u201c@PopBase I\u2019ll give you another week of relevance, then you\u2019ll be dust, Sir.\u201d— Pop Base (@Pop Base) 1680297933
Let's hope he's got the $1 plus legal fees on hand.
