As I am married to a lawyer, we are constantly subject to what I call “the attorney tax”— contractors and service providers and such just jack up the bill assuming we’re wealthy (and we are not.) We have even had contractors defraud us and had to hire lawyers ourselves! I have to keep track of when it fricking snows so I am not paying excess fees because someone assumes I don’t look at my bills! My point is Paltrow was right in not letting herself get shaken down by this guy, because that just opens the door wide for the next person to try the same thin

When the main witness was found to be lying, I think it was a hard sell.

Her stuff is weird, and maybe new agey, but I don’t think particularly woke.

His lawyers almost certainly took the case on a contingent fee basis.

I thought she was good in Emma. I haven't seen many since then.

Whatever. He wasted a lot of time during which he could have been traveling the world, as evidence has shown he is wont to do.

“I bet that won’t be cheap...”

Wouldn’t it be hilarious if her legal fees exceed $300K?

The old guy shouldn’t have taken that South American vacay...really didn’t work well for him. 😂

I agree....though I can't hardly stand ding-a-ling Paltrow and she's not well liked among those who have worked with her. Still it was evident from the get go the guy was looking for a pay out.

As much as I instinctively dislike Paltrow, I think she (and her lawyers) were correct in this; and I’m pleased that she prevailed.

I’m not defending the guy, just pointing out that he probably won’t have to pay his attorneys. It will certainly be painful for him to pay hers if that was part of the judgment.

I think that her demand was that he pay her $1, AND her court fees.

This guy was nuts to do this.

she’s had zero presence in any of her movies.

I liked her in Emma, but that's the only one.

That stupid movie won over the FAR superior “Good Fellows” - which is often cited on critics’ lists of the 10 best movies ever made.

Different years, Goodfellas 1990, SiL 1998.

Dances With Wolves beat Goodfellas in 1991 awards.

Sometimes, ‘celebrities’ are actually at fault.

Thanks for this post too! Good for both of them. This is how it’s supposed to work, this is our liberal civilization. Those who are trying to burn it down mean ill to us all, trannies included. In the end, the French Revolution killed Robespierre, but yet folks still fall for the BS.

More: 13. “Sometimes Harvey Weinstein will let me use the Miramax jet if I’m opening a supermarket for him.”

15. Criticizing people for being upset about 9/11: “I find the English amazing how they got over 7/7. There were no multiple memorials with people sobbing as they would have been in America. There, they are constantly scaring people but at the same time, people think nothing of going to see a therapist.”

She’d have never gotten anywhere if she wasn’t the child of a famous actress mother and producer/director father.
