Actress Gwyneth Paltrow spoke out after winning a $300,000 lawsuit against her over a ski accident in 2016.
On Thursday, following the win, Paltrow, 50, posted a statement on Instagram.
“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,” she wrote, per Fox News Digital.
Paltrow’s lawyer, Stephen Owens said, “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.”
After the two-week trial and multiple witnesses, including Paltrow’s two children, Moses and Apple, the jury ruled in her favor and placed her accuser, Terry Sanderson, 76, “100 percent at fault” for the ski accident. He was ordered to pay “$1 in damages in addition to her attorney fees.”
As Paltrow proceeded to leave the courtroom, she placed her hand on Sanderson’s shoulder and whispered, “I wish you well” to which he responded, “Thank you, dear.”
Samantha Imrie, who was juror No. 11, told ABC News she thought Paltrow’s testimony was believable, but also considered her acting career.
“I think there was, in the back of my mind, yes, this woman’s an actress and I took that into account, but I didn’t feel she had a reason to lie under oath,” she said. “She’s always in the spotlight so she always has to be honest.”
Imrie also believed Sanderson was being honest, too.
“He was telling his truth and I think unfortunately some of that has been distorted due to some other factors, but I do think he did not intend to tell a truth that wasn’t his truth,” she added.
