Gwyneth Paltrow spawns slew of internet gags as she wins $300,000 lawsuit
Gwyneth Paltrow’s court victory in Park City on Thursday has already spawned a number of online memes related to her specific lifestyle.
A meme posted by an account called vodkalana mocked Paltrow’s recent revelation that she mostly drinks just a little bit of bone broth for lunch.
‘Someone is celebrating with TWO cups of bone broth tonight!’ he wrote the account above a photo of Paltrow laughing on the witness stand.
Another account called Americana Memes posted a photo of the Brentwood Country Mart, where the GOOP store is located in Los Angeles, wrote:
“White Smoke has been launched at the Brentwood Country Mart (where the Goop store is) to indicate that Gwyneth won her ski bag.”
The line references the papal ceremony in the Vatican when white smoke rises after a group of cardinals selects the new pope.

One meme creator joked that Donald Trump had called Gwyneth for advice as the former president faces his own impending legal battle.
One compared Gwyneth’s win in court to her 1999 Best Actress Oscar win for Shakespeare in Love.
Another scoffed at the token damages Gwyneth asked to receive if she won her case, and a judge agreed to the amount.
A third meme reads, “Gwyneth Paltrow on the ski slopes this winter,” followed by two photos of Lady Gaga in Patrizia Gucci, smugly sipping an espresso in a ski suit from the House of Gucci movie.
Patrizia infamously had her ex-husband murdered.
One meme creator was particularly topical and shared a meme showing Donald Trump apparently calling out to the actress.
The former president discovered Thursday that he is being arraigned on fraud charges and will be arraigned in Manhattan next week.
Earlier today, Gwyneth Paltrow won the ski accident case against retired optometrist Terry Sanderson, who claimed she caused the collision in 2016 that left him with lasting brain damage.
Jurors determined that Sanderson, 76, was at fault for the accident at the luxurious Utah ski resort seven years ago. It took the jury just two hours and 20 minutes to reach their verdict on Thursday.
Paltrow’s expression of attention softened and she looked at her lawyers with a faint smile as the judge read the verdict in the Park City courtroom.
As Paltrow was leaving court, she touched Sanderson’s shoulder and said, “I wish you the best,” she told reporters outside the courthouse.
He replied: ‘Thank you dear.’
The decision comes after eight days of live-streamed courtroom testimony that drew audiences from around the world and became a pop culture fixation.
The actress smiled and waved at photographers as she left court, but declined to comment.

Paltrow’s trial process was remembered throughout the trial, from hilarious exchanges with opposing counsel to fancy courtroom attire.
Paltrow’s attorney read a statement from the actress outside of court.
Stephen Owens, representing the actress, said: “We are pleased with the result and appreciate the consideration of the judge and jury.
‘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 is right.’
Their representatives issued a statement.
“I felt that accepting a false claim compromised my integrity,” Paltrow said.
“I am pleased with the outcome and appreciate all of the hard work of Judge Holmberg and the jury, and I thank them for their consideration in handling this case.”
Meanwhile, a deflated Sanderson said he stands by his version of events, despite losing the case.
When asked what he plans to do next, he quipped, “Maybe Disneyland!”

Speaking outside court, Sanderson’s attorney, Kristin Van Orman, said she was not impressed by Paltrow, adding: “I’ve been a lawyer for 30 years and juries never surprise me.”
Of Sanderson, she added: “He’s in pain, he’s a very nice man.”
The dismissal concludes two weeks of court proceedings that relied heavily on reputation rather than the money damages at stake in the case.
Paltrow’s lawyers described the complaint against her as “absolute nonsense” and described the Goop founder and CEO as uniquely vulnerable to unfair and frivolous lawsuits because of her celebrity.
Paltrow’s victory and subsequent memes would have to compete with the news that former President Donald Trump was indicted Thursday afternoon by the Manhattan district attorney.
