Gwyneth Paltrow Ski Collision
Terry Sanderson, a retired ophthalmologist, filed a lawsuit against Paltrow in January 2019, claiming that three years earlier she crashed with him on a ski hill at Deer Valley Resort in Park City, Utah, inflicting him irreversible traumatic brain injury. That February, Paltrow counter-sued Sanderson, claiming that he was the one who hit her. She sought one dollar in nominal damages as well as reimbursement for her legal bills. Sanderson sought $300,000 in damages at his March 2023 trial. The jury determined that Paltrow was not at blame, but Sanderson was, and awarded Paltrow $1 in damages.
Gwyneth Paltrow Fashion
Paltrow was named the face of Estée Lauder’s Pleasures perfume in May 2005. On August 17, 2007, she appeared in Chicago to sign perfume bottles, and on July 8, 2008, she promoted Lauder’s Sensuous perfume in New York alongside the company’s three other models. Estée Lauder gives at least $500,000 of the proceeds from the ‘Pleasures Gwyneth Paltrow’ line to breast cancer research. She became the face of Korean fashion brand Bean Pole International in 2006, and in 2014, she joined with Blo Blow Bar, collaborating with the brand’s creative section.
Gwyneth Paltrow Goop
Goop, a lifestyle newsletter founded by actress Gwyneth Paltrow in 2008, has subsequently grown into a web-based firm, Goop.com. The organization has worked with fashion brands to host pop-up stores and wellness conferences. Goop has also established a print magazine, podcast, and Netflix documentary series.
Goop has been chastised for pushing pricey products and medically and scientifically unfeasible treatments such as vaginal steaming, jade eggs, coffee enema devices, and “Body Vibes,” wearable stickers that erroneously promised to regulate energy frequency. Goop settled a health-related complaint involving jade eggs. Goop’s response to criticism appears to be aimed to reinforce their brand and attract customers closer, according to brand researcher Jill Avery.
Late Show presenter Stephen Colbert had frequently mocked Goop items, and Paltrow performed in a Late Show sketch in 2018 ridiculing her company’s strategy. The Goop Lab, a documentary series produced by Netflix, promoted Goop and featured pseudoscientific topics such as energy healing, psychedelic substances, cold therapy, anti-aging, mediumship, and female sexuality. Goop’s access to Netflix’s platform, critics contended, was a “win for pseudoscience.” TINA.org, a truth in advertising watchdog, filed a complaint with the district attorneys of California alleging that Goop continues to engage in deceptive marketing, despite the fact that Goop was sued by the State of California earlier that year and agreed not to make any claims about the efficacy or effects of its products without competent and reliable scientific evidence.
Paltrow is an early investor in Thirteen Lune, an e-commerce site dedicated on beauty, skincare, haircare, and wellness items owned by people of color and ally firms, in January 2021. Goop became Thirteen Lune’s first ally brand in April 2021.
