If you've been keeping up with Gwyneth Paltrow's ski trial, you'll know that it's the most talked about celebrity trial in the world right now.

Gwyneth is currently going through a civil trial over a ski collision incident that took place in February 2016. 76-year-old Terry Sanderson filed a lawsuit against Gwyneth after she had allegedly smashed into him on a ski slope in Utah seven years prior.

Terry claims that the Goop CEO and founder left him with “permanent traumatic brain injury, four broken ribs, pain, suffering, loss of enjoyment of life, emotional distress and disfigurement” after she crashed into him in a "full body hit" on the slope.

To get you up to speed with where the trial is currently up to, Gwyneth testified on Friday March 24th, while her accuser took to the stand on Monday March 27th. Terry has sued the Iron Man actress for $300,000 (cut down from the original $3.1 million he was seeking), while Gwyneth countersued Terry for $1 in damages, plus attorneys' fees.

Of course, the trial has racked up plenty of interest across the internet, starting with one of Gwyneth's courtroom looks. Hilarious memes, witty and wild reactions and all-round lighthearted vibes have been shared across Twitter, and beyond.

8) The level of pettiness I aspire towards tbh!

Today I found out that Gwyneth Paltrow, whose net worth is $200 million, is countersuing the skier for $1. That is *one* dollar. A level of pettiness to which we should all aspire.

12) Goop for all!

Who thinks that these 75 boxes by the defense table aren’t actually files for trial, but are filled with #goop garbage potions and colon teas and bone broth recipe gift bags for the witnesses? #GwynethPaltrowtrial #GwynethPaltrow pic.twitter.com/0NH2iDuqJE

13) "i can't believe we're still having this debate in 2023".

I’m sorry but in this country if Gwyneth Paltrow runs you over on a ski slope you say “Thank you” and move on with your life.

19) And finally, this is your PSA not to wear a side ponytail while you're skiing.

absolutely losing it over the difference between gwyneth paltrow giving a man traumatic brain injury is whether her hair was in tight side pony https://t.co/xksXTPDKh8
