The high-profile trial of Gwyneth Paltrow and Terry Sanderson culminated on Thursday with the actor winning her counter-suit against the man who claimed she skied into him in 2016. As Paltrow left the courtroom, she whispered a message to Sanderson: "I wish you well," he told reporters outside court.
The jury returned after two hours and 20 minutes, finding Sanderson at fault for the crash and at fault for Paltrow's harm. As Paltrow left the court, she touched Sanderson's shoulder and said: 'I wish you well.
What did Gwyneth Paltrow whisper in her accusers' ear?
After the verdict was read, Gwyneth was filmed whispering into her accuser's ear. Gwyneth Paltrow whispered “I wish you well” to Dr. Sanderson, the man who sued her over ski crash, as she left the courtroom with her $1 victory.
“I wish you well,” Paltrow, 50, told Sanderson, 76. The jury took just over two hours on March 30 to find Sanderson was at fault in the crash at the center of the trial, and awarded Paltrow $1 in what she has called "symbolic damages." Sanderson told reporters that his response to Paltrow was "Thank you, dear."
As Paltrow left the Utah courtroom victorious and $1 richer, she touched Dr. Terry Sanderson's shoulder and reportedly whispered, “I wish you well,” according to video footage obtained by The Post.

What is Gwyneth Paltrow accused of doing?
Paltrow is accused of crashing into Terry Sanderson, a 76-year-old retired optometrist — causing several serious injuries and then abandoning him, while they were both skiing on a beginner slope at Deer Valley Resort seven years ago.
He's suing her for more than $300,000, claiming she skied recklessly and that he has permanent brain damage from the crash that altered his personality. On the stand Friday, Paltrow said Sanderson knocked into her gently from behind but that the collision escalated as the two skidded down the beginner slope.
Terry Sanderson, a 76-year-old retired eye doctor, was found "100% responsible" for the crash. When asked about the brief exchange outside the courtroom, Mr Sanderson readily supplied the transcript: "Her exact words were 'I wish you well,' that's all she said," he told reporters. "I said 'thank you, dear.
Gwyneth Paltrow's lawyer apologised for being an “ass” to the daughter of the doctor suing the actress over a 2016 ski accident. Attorney Stephen Owens made the admission after his cross-examination of Polly Sanderson Grasham, who had testified as a witness for her father, Terry Sanderson.
Indeed, as one friend told me when we discussed Paltrow's courtroom drama: "I have said 'I wish you well' when I'm trying to gain control or power in a difficult situation." Dr. Blair agrees that this could be partly why people utter the words during conflict.
Terry Sanderson, 76, who is seeking $300,000 from Paltrow, says she slammed into him from behind in a ski collision that left him with a concussion, brain injury and four broken ribs. But Paltrow alleges that it was actually Sanderson at fault and that he is exploiting her wealth.
Mr Sanderson, 76, sued her for $300,000 (£242,000), saying the 2016 collision on the slopes of Utah left him with several broken ribs and severe brain injuries. Paltrow countersued for $1 claiming he was at fault.
For his part, Sanderson has accused Paltrow of barreling into him, breaking four of his ribs and causing a severe concussion whose symptoms lingered for years.
"I wish you well," she told Terry Sanderson, the 76-year-old retired optometrist who sued Paltrow over injuries he sustained when the two crashed on a beginner run at a posh Utah ski resort in 2016. "Thank you, dear," he reportedly responded.
Now, according to the Associated Press, Utah district-court judge Kent Holmberg ruled in his final judgment that Sanderson will not have to pay Paltrow's fees, per an agreement between both sides' attorneys.
Here's what to know. Actress Gwyneth Paltrow testified in a Utah courtroom this week for a civil trial after a retired optometrist accused her of crashing into him while skiing on a bunny hill at an upscale Park City resort.
Glenn Close said that Gwyneth Paltrow's 1999 Oscar win for "Shakespeare in Love" didn't "make sense" during a candid interview with Peter Travers. Close said the award should have gone to Brazilian actress Fernanda Montenegro for the acclaimed drama "Central Station."
Why does Gwyneth Paltrow speak Spanish? Because like many people from the US she studied it in school as a “foreign language”, and unlike many people who study a foreign language she had and took the chance to spend one year as an exchange student in a country where that one is the primary language.
The actress and wellness guru was found not liable in the contentious "ransom" lawsuit brought by Dr. Terry Sanderson after being "pounded like a punching bag" during trial.
The “Iron Man” star hired top-notch lawyers and spent years litigating the case before a jury ruled Thursday that Dr. Terry Sanderson must pay for her legal costs, according to attorneys familiar with the lawsuit.
