25 Brutal Memes of Gwyneth Paltrow Whispering “I Wish You Well” to Her Lawsuit Opponent | “Pathos With Sugar on Top”
Gwyneth Paltrow has been getting the meme treatment from the internet lately, especially after winning the much-publicized case involving a ski accident that occurred in 2016. At the end of the trial, the jurors found that retired optometrist Terry Sanderson was to blame for the skiing collision that sparked the lawsuit. Fortune was in Paltrow's favor and she ended up winning the case. As the actress left the court, she briefly bent down to whisper "I wish you well" to her lawsuit opponent and Sanderson responded with a "thank you." It might have appeared like a nice gesture at a glance but netizens have their own ways of dissecting every situation from a courtroom drama. Trolling the actress started from the time she sported glasses like Jeffrey Dahmer and now jokes about her passive-aggressive remark while leaving the court is doing the rounds. And here are some of the most hilarious interpretations and jokes which sprung out of Paltrow's "I wish you well" to Sanderson.
