Gwyneth Paltrow against skier and other star litigation that turned into a real show

From bad comedy to almost thriller, these trials have turned into a kind of reality TV before our eyes.

Now the actress is the defendant in the ski resort incident case. Retired Terry Sanderson has accused the Hollywood star of hitting him on a slope and failing to provide any help. The man is now seeking $300,000 in damages. Stars are usually in a hurry to settle such cases without too much fuss, but Gwyneth suddenly presented counterclaims to the victim. The actress said he allegedly stole into her, and in such a way that 76-year-old Sanderson Paltrow’s actions were initially mistaken for harassment. Well, after the actress also managed to tag the phrase meme. When asked how much damage she suffered as a result of the incident, Gwyneth said she lost half a day off.

The divorce of Hollywood actors turned into a real judicial “Santa Barbara”. How many trials are planned at the same time, perhaps, themselves cannot say. Child custody, ownership of shares in the wine business, domestic violence – there was no cause for dispute. Each new lawsuit becomes the main topic of the press, and insiders provide reporters with outrageous details: either Angie has turned the kids against Pitt, or as if she wants to talk to her new lover and convince her that Brad is not the one. what she needs.

In our show business, there was also a high-profile child custody case. In 2009, little Denis Baysarov, son of singer Kristina Orbakaite and businessman Ruslan Baysarov, was under the spotlight of the press. The fight of divorced parents for him broke out in earnest – Denis stayed with his father, which irritated Orbakaite and Pugacheva. They insisted that Ruslan kidnapped the child, and the Prima Donna even went on a TV show to draw attention to the family problem.

The defamation case turned into a real reality TV show. Courtroom shows aired on television, and fans around the world followed the proceedings as true drama with thriller elements. Amber sobbed tellingly in front of the cameras to convince everyone how much she was hurting in a relationship with Depp, Johnny at that time was painting pictures phlegmatically and defiantly avoiding eye contact with his ex-wife. In general, it was not a court that came out, but a circus. Amber’s performance, however, ended up costing a pretty penny – she lost the process and was found guilty of defamation. The jury awarded Depp $15 million in damages.

One of the most resounding scandals in Russian show business is the confrontation between the King of Pop and journalist Irina Aroyan, who dared to ask Kirkorov why there are so many remakes in his repertoire. It all happened in 2004 at a press conference in Rostov-on-Don. This question from Aroyan and his answer eventually became actual memes.

“Your pink blouse, your boobs and your microphone are pissing me off,” Kirkorov said angrily.

The verbal altercation did not end. Few people remember it, but the trial followed. A criminal case was opened against the singer under part 2 of article 130 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (“Insult”). It ended with the fact that Kirkorov was found guilty and a fine of 60,000 rubles was imposed with payment to the state (Aroyan herself deliberately did not make material claims – it was a matter of principle). The scandal was widely covered in the press and damaged the reputation of the singer – for several years he had problems with tours, and Kirkorov also received the “Silver Galosh” – a comedic award for the most dubious aspects of show business.
