'I Wish You Well': Gwyneth's Final Words Labelled 'Iconic'

Gwyneth approached Terry Sanderson and whispered something to him as she exited the courtroom in Utah

After two weeks of truly high-camp courtroom drama, Gwyneth Paltrow possibly saved the best for last with her final words to her accuser in their ski slope trial.

As the Oscar-winner and wellness guru exited the court in Utah after a jury cleared her of causing retired optometrist Terry Sanderson long-lasting injuries in a 2016 skiing collision, she leaned in to whisper something in his ear.

The Goop founder’s comments were not audible on the courtroom’s live feed, but Sanderson later revealed to reporters that the actor left him with the parting words of: “I wish you well.”

A deflated Sanderson responded: “Thank you dear.”

While exiting the courtroom after the verdict was revealed, Gwyneth Paltrow leaned in and briefly spoke to Terry Sanderson before continuing to leave. The AP reported that she told him, "I wish you well." https://t.co/6odVrlv0gR pic.twitter.com/XVHTV6wbDk

We were half expecting to hear those EastEnders duf-dufs in the final dramatic moment of a court case that has gripped social media for the last fortnight.

Twitter was living for Gwyneth’s parting shot...

Some labelled those four small words instantly “iconic”

Others felt there was a sense of pathos to her final words

Gwyneth Paltrow's parting shot, "I wish you well," to Terry Sanderson, sounded like pathos with sugar on top. How could he be, but it's a sage reminder for anyone thinking of bringing an actress of GP's calibre to court. Be prepared to lose your shirt. pic.twitter.com/OEef3ZKCgQ

Many questioned if there was really any subtext to those words

I ask was @GwynethPaltrow comment "I wish you well" polite or just plain just a FUCK YOU!
