Gwyneth Paltrow denied attorney fees in skiing lawsuit.

Gwyneth Paltrow will not be able to recoup the attorney fees she paid to defend herself against a lawsuit from a 76-year-old man who claimed she crashed into him at a Utah ski resort in 2016. A Utah judge said attorneys for Paltrow and Terry Sanderson had agreed to drop the matter of Paltrow's attorneys' fees.

Neither side has publicly disclosed how much it cost to sustain a years-long legal battle with a team of attorneys and expert witnesses.
