A public civil case that’s been going viral for a myriad of reasons ranging from its embodiment of privilege to the effusive fan-girling of Paltrow’s prosecutor — this hit-and-run trial deserves a Golden Globe.

If you weren’t already absolutely certain that we’re living in a truly absurd dystopian simulation, the genuine entertainment value of this incredibly low stakes legal battle certainly confirms it. Leaning more towards a camp satire than an actual real life courtcase, the Gwyneth Paltrow ski trial is serving as a commentary on the richest of the rich white woman — and the privilege associated with that — with a side of baffling fandom and devastatingly chic wardrobe choices.
, Oscar-winning actress, Goop founder and High Priestess of highfalutin wellness hacks Gwyneth Paltrow is in the second week of a hit-and-run trial taking place in a Park City, Utah, courtroom that’s set to adjourn with closing arguments on Thursday.Gwyneth Paltrow is being sued for over $300,000 by Terry Sanderson, a well-to-do 76-year-old retired optometrist who alleges that the actress and businesswoman skied into him in Deer Valley Resort, Utah, back in 2016.
Finally taken to trial, seven years after the fact, Sanderson v Paltrow is being streamed live on theYoutube channel and testimonies are being thoroughly meme-ified. Highlighting just how out of touch A-list lifestyle gurus can be, and how blinded by celebrity highly educated lawyers can become, it all just seems a little farcical — and I wouldn’t change a thing. No notes.
