Gwyneth Paltrow is convinced her "ridiculous" ski lawsuit represents "everything that's wrong with our legal system".

The actress-turned-wellness guru went to court in 2023 to fight a lawsuit from Dr. Terry Sanderson who alleged she had bumped into him on the slopes in Utah back in 2016 with Paltrow claiming Sanderson was actually the one who skied into her. The jury ruled in Paltrow's favour after an eight-day trial, but the 'Iron Man' star is convinced the case should never have made it to court in the first place.

During an appearance on 'The World's First Podcast', she said: "I have to say, the idea that someone could ski into your back and knock you down and then sue you. I was like: 'This is everything that's wrong with our legal system'.

"It was ridiculous. That's why I felt like I had to fight it. I was like: 'I'm not going to be shaken down here.' I'm not doing that."

The 'Sliding Doors' star was sued by Sanderson for $300,000 over the 2016 collision and she countersued for costs plus a "symbolic" amount of $1.

After the trial, a jury in Park City, Utah, found the retired optometrist "100 per cent" at fault for the accident - awarding Paltrow her $1 plus legal fees.

Paltrow later took to social media to note she was "pleased" with the outcome of the trial.

In a statement shared on her Instagram Story, she explained: "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."

The Goop founder's comments were echoed in a similar statement released by her legal team.

Attorney Steve Owens said: "We are pleased with this unanimous outcome and appreciate the judge and jury's thoughtful handling of the case. Gwyneth has a history of advocating for what she believes in - this situation was no different and she will continue to stand up for what is right."
