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.

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.
