Originally Published 2 years ago — by BuzzFeed News
The ongoing ski crash trial involving Gwyneth Paltrow and Terry Sanderson is a ridiculous spectacle of privileged resort squabbles. Paltrow has countersued for $1 plus legal fees, claiming that Sanderson hit her in the back, while Sanderson has alleged that Paltrow crashed into him from behind, causing a permanent traumatic brain injury and emotional distress. The trial has provided plenty of entertainment, with Paltrow's luxurious attire and Sanderson's lawyer's starstruck behavior. The trial is a perfect storm for pop culture lovers, allowing them to claim the moral high ground and laugh at a rich person on trial for doing rich person things.
