Gwyneth Paltrow, the founder and CEO of Goop, will not be able to recoup the legal fees she paid to defend herself against a lawsuit filed by a retired optometrist, Terry Sanderson. The lawsuit, which stemmed from a 2016 ski resort crash in Utah, accused Paltrow of crashing into Sanderson and leaving the scene without ensuring he was in good condition.
However, in a ruling published on Saturday, a Utah judge affirmed the jury’s verdict that Sanderson was “100% at fault.” As a result, Paltrow won her countersuit, which sought a symbolic $1 and attorneys’ fees. Representatives for Paltrow have not disclosed the amount of money at stake in the legal battle.
