You were wearing goggles, a helmet?
>> Yes. >> Okay,
looked like everybody else on the slope.
>> That's always my intention.
Okay, probably had a better ski outfit though [LAUGH] I bet.
>> I still have the same one [LAUGH] I just have one.
>> Okay.
>> Actress Gwyneth Paltrow, is currently on trial,
over a 2016 accident that happened on a Park valley, Utah ski slope.
Now, a retired doctor is alleging that she crashed into him,
and caused some pretty serious physical damage as a result.
She claims otherwise, Gwyneth Paltrow says, no, no, he crashed into me.
Now I want to be clear about something.
I don't know what the reality is and I'm not going to opine on that at all.
The whole point of talking about the trial,
is to comment on the plaintiff's attorney here.
Now, while [Terry] Sanderson initially launched
a legal action against Paltrow for $3.1 million.
Terry Sanderson, of course, is the doctor that is alleging that he has physical.
And mental damage as a result of that accident, it was reduced to $300,000.
He says he was left with "permanent traumatic brain injury, four broken ribs,
pain, suffering, loss of enjoyment of life, emotional distress and
disfigurement," after a "full body hit" by Paltrow.
She is counter suing him for $1, and claims that he's the one who ran into her.
And that the only reason why he's suing her is because he knows that
she is a wealthy, and famous celebrity.
Now with those details out of the way, which again,
we don't know what the truth is.
I'm not gonna to adjudicate that.
We should go to Jake because he really wants to comment.
So you're gonna see the lawyer do some really weird stuff here.
But afterwards, I'm gonna explain why she did what she did
>> Okay, Columbia School, okay,
Columbia University.
All right, relax.
>> Colombia Law School >> Yeah.
Not a big deal, not a big deal.
>> No just [INAUDIBLE] >> All right.
>> [LAUGH] >> So with that said,
let's go to the first video showing the man's lawyer questioning Gwyneth Paltrow.
>> He has deterred you from enjoying the rest of what was a very expensive
vacation?
>> Well, I lost half a day of skiing, yes.
>> Okay. May I ask how tall you are?
>> I'm just under 5'10.
>> Okay, I am so jealous.
>> I think I'm shrinking though.
>> You and me both, I have to wear four inch heels, just to make it to 5'5.
>> They're very nice.
>> Thank you.
>> I was yelling at him >> Pretty loud
>> Pretty forceful.
I was pretty upset.
>> Right, you're small, but mighty.
Actually, you're not that small [LAUGH] so
you're not trained in accident reconstruction?
>> Me? >> Yeah
[LAUGH] >> No.
>> Neither am I?
All right, are you good friends with Taylor Swift?
>> No.
>> Overruled.
>> You're not good friends with Taylor Swift.
>> I would not say we're good friends, we're friendly.
I take my kids, I've taken my kids to one of her concerts before, but
we don't talk very often.
>> Little friend of me, action with Taylor Swift and Gwyneth Paltrow.
My favorite part of that video was [LAUGH] the very beginning was wow,
I did lose half a day of skiing [LAUGH] >> I know Gwyneth Paltrow.
But so look, everybody's a buzz about this because the lawyer seems to be so
weirdly friendly.
>> Smitten with her >> Yeah, with Gwyneth Paltrow.
People are wondering if she fell in love [LAUGH] right?
Okay, no, no, so look, it was a little over the top for sure, okay?
But there's good reasons why the lawyer might be doing this.
One, you want to disarm the person that you're cross examining, right?
And you want to get certain things on the record.
So when she talked about how tall she's, I'm so jealous you're so tall.
She's trying to say, hey, later my guess is she'll make the argument,
Gwyneth Paltrow is big, right?
And so when she ran into my client, she did a lot of damage.
That's why she's with the, you're small and mighty.
You're not even small, you're large and mighty.
It looks like she's setting up for that kind of closing statement.
>> I know, but we also all know because she has disclosed
it what Gwyneth Paltrow's daily diet consists of.
Consists of a fast, of course, right?
She does, the intermittent fasting, starts her day,
her first meal is black coffee, which isn't a meal.
Her second meal is bone broth, which also isn't a meal, and
her third meal is vegetables.
I'm not even kidding, she said that in a podcast.
>> Well, ok, good,
that makes me, then not at all envious of her incredible wealth of celebrity.
>> I know, she's totally wasting it.
But my point is, she's incredibly thin and like this argument,
I don't think is gonna work.
But I don't know, we'll see.
>> But that's what she's setting out for.
>> Right. >> Now, in the part we didn't show you,
she also was joking around about how good Gwyneth Paltrow looks on
the the ski slopes, right?
And then, and show you wear the same kind of goggles, but
there was a reason she was doing that, because what she was setting up for,
I think again, is, well, you look like anybody else out there, right?
How could anybody even know that you were Gwyneth Paltrow?
So if the idea is, hey, my client runs into you on purpose, so
that he could sue you?
Well, how would he even know you had goggles on and
you look like everyone else?
She does it in a super over the top friendly way.
So Paltrow is disarmed and by the way, I think it worked because Paltrow is
giggling >> Yeah
>> And saying yes to everything that
the lawyer is saying.
>> Maybe the lawyer is a genius.
>> No, I'm telling you because especially with someone like Gwyneth Paltrow,
they're used to being fluffed.
So, if you go into fluffing mode, she's like, yeah, I like this person.
>> [LAUGH] >> This is exactly the kind of person I
hire, if Kate says all the nice things about me.
Yeah, it's true, I'm tall and mighty, and no one could tell it was me.
You're totally right, okay?
So with the whole judgment on the lawyer until we
see that in this case >> [LAUGH] she really is eating it up
though.
>> Yeah.
>> Okay, I know that we don't do this often, but I can't help myself.
Can we watch that video again?
Just one more time?
>> Fun, yeah. >> Cuz I wanna watch it with a more
informed I,
considering the lawyer expert next to us has explained what the strategy is here.
>> No [INAUDIBLE] >> All right, let's watch.
>> He has deterred you from enjoying the rest of what was
a very expensive vacation.
>> Well, I lost half a day of skiing, yes.
>> Okay, may I ask how tall you are?
>> I'm just under 5'10.
>> Okay, I'm so jealous.
>> I think I'm shrinking though.
>> You and me both, I have to wear four inch heels just to make it to 5'5.
>> They're very nice.
>> Thank you.
>> I was yelling at him- >> Pretty loud.
>> Pretty forceful, I was pretty upset.
>> Right, you're small, but mighty.
Actually, you're not that small.
So you're not trained in accident reconstruction?
>> Me?
>> Yeah [LAUGH] >> No
>> Neither am I.
All right, are you good friends with Taylor Swift?
>> No >> Overruled.
>> You're not good friends with Taylor Swift.
>> I would not say we're good friends, we're friendly.
I take my kids, I've taken my kids to one of her concerts before, but
we don't talk very often.
>> It's amazing.
I think you're right, I think you're right.
I have to add some more context though because after that last bizarre
moment involving Taylor Swift, and whether or not they're buddies.
Apparently, the lawyer asked if Paltrow had ever given Taylor Swift
an intimate gift for Christmas?
And she was likely referring to a goop video in which,
Paltrow suggests giving a vibrator as a present for Swift.
But apparently, the judge shut that line of questioning down.
>> Damn.
>> I don't know how that's relevant, but anyway.
>> Did Taylor Swift counter sue for a dollar, just like Gwyneth Paltrow was
doing, I thought maybe that's why she was bringing it up.
But anyway, yeah, I agree with the judge.
I think if I was a judge, I'd let almost all the evidence and
I think they exclude way too much evidence.
But what does the vibrator have to do with this story, okay?
In this case, nothing.
So anyways, look guys for all of this like theatrics,
this is the easiest case in the world, who ran into who?
That's it, we're done.
>> There's got to be surveillance or video of some sort, no?
>> I don't know, if the slopes don't have video of it,
that's the only place in the world that has no cameras.
So maybe [LAUGH] if you want privacy, you go to find a slope like this.
But seriously, because he's saying she ran into me and
I got the four broken ribs etc.
And she was reckless, and I'm owed money, she's saying, what are you talking about?
You ran into me, well, if he ran into her, then obviously, he doesn't have a case.
So all the jury has to do is, forget about the vibrator news [LAUGH] and
the goggles and all this stuff you just have to determine who ran into who.
Okay and boom, that's the whole case, that's 100% of the case.
>> Right, now, they have eight days to figure that out,
I can't believe this is gonna be an eight day trial.
And also you are correct, Jank.
So the whole point of bringing up the Paltrow Taylor Swift,
element is to see if she was inspired by Swift to counter sue for
a dollar a dollar, yeah.
>> Yeah. Well, if that's the case,
you should thank Taylor Swift.
She could have counter suit for a million dollars, right?
And bankrupted the big Jesus out of you, if she's right, right?
And by the way, don't ever get, if you're ever on a jury, don't be biased, right?
So I'm, as you can tell Gwyneth Paltrow is not for me, she's for other people, okay?
Goop is not for me, it's for other people,okay?
So [LAUGH] but if you're on the jury, who cares what your bias is?
Just, is she right, or is the other guy right?
Period, right?
>> Can I just say, I mean, look, I get that it's the principle of the matter and
you don't want people to take advantage of you because you're of means, right?
For instance, Paltrow's Company group is worth $250 million, but
the lawsuit amount went from 3 million to 300,000.
I think I would just, I don't want to be on the stand like I don't wanna,
I don't wanna do this.
So I would just give him the 300,000.
>> No, you wouldn't.
I know you'd fight and I'll tell you why because look, if it's,
if it's a frivolous lawsuit, those are the most annoying things.
>> They really are.
And she's already paid her lawyers more than the 300,000, I guarantee it.
>> But I would fight it and you would fight it, because if you give this rando
dude, if he ran into you, then you give him $300,000, then everybody's gonna run
into you and ask for $300,000 >> That's a very good
point >> Okay?
So you got to fight him, you don't have a choice.
>> Why are people so awful?
>> I know.
>> This is why I want to live in a secluded place.
>> Either way, it's all lbecause if Gwyneth Paltrow ran into him and
she doesn't want to give him $300,000 when she's this rich, and
she broke the poor guy's ribs etc.
Then she's awful.
If the guy ran into her, and then sues her just cuz she's rich and
he's such that's he's awful, if he did that.
So, one of them is definitely awful.
>> Right, and we don't know for sure yet.
So to be clear, we have not adjudicated this case-
>> Abslolutely, we have no idea.
>> We'll see how it plays out.
>> I'm not on the jury, I have no idea who ran on to who.
