Gwyneth Paltrow trial memes explode after 'I wish you well' moment | Mashable.

Gwyneth Paltrow launches devastating trial meme with 'I wish you well' moment

"I wish you well." Iconic.

The Gwyneth Paltrow trial produced more memes and moments than anybody could've predicted. Remember the Goop queen confidently intoning(Opens in a new tab) that she "lost half a day of skiing." Iconic, if detached from reality, behavior.

Well, Paltrow ended the trial by delivering a wonderful meme. In case you missed it, Paltrow won a symbolic $1 decision(Opens in a new tab) in a lawsuit brought against her over a ski collision. As she left the courthouse, Paltrow touched the shoulder of Terry Sanderson — the guy who sued her — and told him, "I wish you well."

Listen, I can't know Paltrow's true intent but it sure seems like a shady southerner telling someone "bless your heart." To me, it's Paltrow telling Sanderson that he couldn't run with the big dogs and he should have stayed on the porch.

Naturally, the internet immediately turned the iconic moment into a fantastic meme.

There was this reference to The Menu.

Or the same thought I had about bless your heart.

There really were a ton of jokes, comments, and memes about the moment from Paltrow.

Just when we thought the trial was over, it delivered one final meme for us. Paltrow simply could not let us down in that moment — and she didn't. I truly wish her well.

  1. I’ve used “I wish you well” at times over the years (with an unspoken “well away from me” in mind - occasionally with the hope they find a good therapist)

  3. I'm sick of people accusing her of being Snarky. I have learned that sincerely wishing well to those who have wronged you make you a better person. Anger and rage is like taking poison and waiting for the other person to die. Perhaps her kindness will make more of change within the wrong doer.

  6. She already won , and yet she chose to sneak in with the last word , while approaching from behind. I’m not sure how classy that is. Still cheating out for the camera.

  13. Oh, please—why couldn't we take this as her legitimately wishing him well? And it's not even like you could say she just did it for appearances sake: She did it so quickly, the camera could easily have missed it. We could give her the benefit of the doubt. Terry Sanderson himself thought she meant it in a kind way:

  24. I give her credit. He was blind in one eye from a stroke yrs before the accident. Than had cataracts removed from the other eye after the accident. He should not have been skiing. He could have really hurt someone. Lesson learned for ppl with disabilities dont do what your not able to anymore. We can only hope Sanderson doesnt ski anymore. Im a senior citizen and know my limits. You cant do what you cant do

  25. "Bless your heart" is a southern creation, not west coast, as noted.

    3. don't feel sorry for those that create their own problems lol

    4. If he’s mentally unwell it’s sad. His attorney should have advised him against it. I only saw snippets but he’s seems to struggle.

    5. He's not mentally unwell. He's entitled. There's a difference.

    6. who knows. But so is she. The most entitled court case ever.

    7. she’s entitled to say what she wants. I see it as passive aggression and FU. Not kindness. My opinion. I feel sorry that he’s such a mess. My right.

      Delete
    8. what makes you think she's entitled? She got dragged into court over a frivolous lawsuit and has every right to defend against that stupidity.

    13. on top of any personal opinion you must have missed all the articles about the case, that alone would have given you at least half a clue.

    1. really???? Sanderson was blind in one eye from a stroke yrs ago way b 4 the accident. Than after the accident he had cataracts removed from the other eye. He should not have been skiing. He was being treated for memory loss at the VA and for depression. They take exrays of your brain to determine strokes. That all happened b 4 the skiing accident. Strokes can mess with your thinking its common sense. His lawyers should not have taken his case. They were all banking on paltrow paying and not going through a hassle in court. We can only hope sanderson stays off the ski slopes. There comes a time when ppl have to give up things they love because of disabilities

      Delete
    2. exactly right. He saw money and that’s all it took for a law suit. He didn’t sue for millions because he figured she’d settle. Good for her!! I’m no fan of hers she’s weird but what’s right is right.

    3. then* not than in the second sentence

    1. I watched about 90% of the trial; she was kind to him because it was quite evident that the plaintiff was most likely negatively influenced by his skiing buddy to file this suit. It was supposed to be a big payday to the tune of $3M as per the original suit.
