The incident involving Gwyneth Paltrow being sued for her involvement in a ski accident is being turned into a documentary.
“Gwyneth vs Terry: The Ski Crash Trial,” will be released on Discovery+. It will detail how the Academy Award-winning actress engaged in a legal battle against retired optometrist Terry Sanderson, according to Variety.
The project comes courtesy of Optomen, the production company responsible for “Johnny vs Amber” and “Kim vs Kanye: The Divorce.”
The two-part documentary will be available later in 2023.
Paltrow’s trial dominated headlines earlier in the year when Sanderson accused Gwyneth, 50, of colliding with him during a 2016 ski crash in Utah. The plaintiff claimed that the incident left him with lasting brain damage.
Sanderson claimed he suffered a “permanent traumatic brain injury, four broken ribs, pain, suffering, loss of enjoyment of life, emotional distress and disfigurement,” and that Paltrow “got up, turned and skied away,” leaving him “stunned, lying in the snow, seriously injured” without calling for help, as The Daily Wire previously reported.
One line that went viral at the trial was Paltrow responding to a question about any losses she suffered from the accident. Paltrow said, “Well, we lost half a day of skiing.”
The actress was found not guilty of wrongdoing, with jurors finding Sanderson, 76, to blame for the crash. The jury returned their verdict in just two hours and 20 minutes. The decision meant Sanderson had to pay Paltrow a symbolic $1 in damages and Paltrow’s legal costs, which could have been hundreds of thousands of dollars.

“We’re pleased with the outcome and appreciate the judge and jury’s consideration,” the actress’s attorney said at the time. “Gwyneth has a history of standing up for what’s right and this situation is no different. She will continue to stand up for what’s right.”
“I felt that acquiescing to a false claim compromised my integrity,” Paltrow said of the decision. “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.”
