that became an internet obsession and i still felt very shaky and my knee was bothering me. my back was bothering me, so i decided to go in early and get a massage actress and goop founder gwyneth paltrow accused of causing a ski collision at the high end deer valley resort in utah by the now 76 year old retired optometrist, dr terry sanderson. i got hit in my back so hard, serious, serious smack . never been hit that hard and i'm flying. i'm absolutely flying. he claimed the 2016 skiing accident left him with broken ribs, permanent brain damage and emotional distress. living another life. now my interaction with my family has mordiffulted coteor symbolic $1 an torney's imit wasson who actualt er on thslessaerson categorically hit me on that ski slope. and that is theru,

insisting she whiskey and cautiously because she was with her children at the time. i didn't engage in risky behavior . i wouldn't with my children. there are without my children. they're the wellness gurus team also blasting the idea that sanderson's life was difficult after the crash. all of these pictures are from your personal facebook after the collision. attorney pulling dozens of photos of sanderson on multiple international trips taken after the accident. you visited there twice. i did chiquita explore jewish market. it's there. yes cultural sites. dion the dior museum. is that cool? yeah, i did. he went to a rock concert. is that true? after the collision, i probably did even showing the jury sanderson back on the slopes issue skiing after the collision. it was that following year i don't dispute it. good morning. going

morning cameras captured every moment of the eight day trial with followers obsessing over paltrow's designer outfits, including these gold aviator glasses and analyzing her testimony. i'm just under 5 10. i am so jealous. i think i'm shrinking, though. you and me both. i have to wear four inch heels just to make it to 55. very nice. thank you, comparing moments in the trial to a saturday night live skit. are you good friends with taylor smith. no. overruled. you're good friends with taylor swift. i would not say we're good friends. we are friendly. in the end, the jury found the retired optometrist 100% at fault. paltrow awarded $1 in economic damages, plus the cost of attorneys fees that she saw in her countersuit. in a statement , the actress saying, i felt that acquiescing to a false claim compromised my integrity.

she also thanked the judge and jury after her win. paltrow scene is saying something to sanderson as she left the courtroom her exact words i wish you well. very kind of her. i said, thank you, dear thing was a little shocking to me. samantha embry was juror number 11. did you find gwyneth paltrow is testimony to be convincing. i did, um, i think you know there was in the back of my mind. yes this woman is an actress and you know it took that into account. but i didn't feel that she had a reason to lie under oath. she said jurors were convinced the actress and goop guru was innocent. it only took a couple of hours to get all eight jurors on the same page. you didn't have to have a unanimous decision. but did you we did not have to. um we don't have any unanimous decision. and while she says sanderson may have convinced himself he was right. he didn't convince her. he was telling his truth. and i think,

unfortunately, some of that has been distorted due to some other factors. but i do think that he did not intend to. tell a truth that wasn't his truth. emery also saying those social media photos of sanderson traveling the world after the accident didn't help. i think i wrote down wow, i need to make some more money so i can go travel this way. you know, i wouldn't have thought he was capable of those things based on the picture that had been painted. and while this case involved a celebrity, emery says her training as a nurse helped her focus on the facts, not the feces as she made her decision. i think it's important that the public doesn't just think that this was just a win because buenos a celebrity, i mean, this is based on the evidence. this is based on the law. ah i do work in medicine and every every you have to look at everyone the same, so i think that that should apply in the courtroom as well. paltrow's win in court also a win for celebrity watchers, who were given a front

it is a whole new world for student athletes, especiallyon the collegiate level. 2021 supreme court ruling changing the game with three words, name , image and likeness. also known as n i l allowing them to earn

money teens as young as 16, now signing deals and raking in big bucks. here's abc, sachin singh. under the bright lights and booming roar. university of miami fans know who they're here to see. hana and haley cavender. twins ballers social media superstars. they're not just known for having some serious game, but also they're following online almost five million between the two of them on tiktok. b a story about a couple of amateur athletes. what makes the story different is that for the first time ever, student athletes like these two are now making millions of dollars? you

guys mind walking me through some of your endorsements would love to just get like, get a run down your favorite guests from champs sports champs athletes, but then we have w w e e life wallets, cigarette racing, and then we also have a company called baseline, which is college street where we have accurately in that cavender twins are a social media and marketing sensation. they have millions of followers. they have deals with major advertisers teaming up with turbotax and all the while they we have this incredible ability to just be themselves. they were athletes who had done a really nice job of growing up following before, and i l so those who already had large followings on instagram or tiktok. prior to july, 1st were able to capitalize now go for it the definition of using n i l to be an entrepreneur. in many ways , they're like the kardashians of college sports. everybody wants to know about them on three, which estimates l

earnings for athletics says the twins are pulling in more than $1.6 million a year. cashing in alongside other students, stars like lebron james son high school baller, brawny james, peyton and eli manning's nephew , quarterback arch manning and social media megastar gymnast olivia done. and it's all because of three letters and i l name image. and lightness. magic words that have upended the landscape of college sports as we've known it. after decades of being prevented from making money before becoming professionals and being punished if they did in june, 2021 supreme court ruled that amateur athletes can now get paid. leveraging their personal brands and social media following for profit and cashing in two years ago. making 10 bucks was a problem now kids could make $2 million. $5 million. and you're

not even gonna blink an eye and i keep saying we're just getting started. has this changed your life? yes 100% but what exactly is n i l and what does it mean for college sports. it's just the ability to make money through a number of different means social media marketing, signing autographs, creating your own merchandise. supreme court handed down. that decision changed everything, and it's important for people to understand. this is not the school paying athletes to play. that's not it. what it is, is it's the kids, the student athletes being able to go out and say, hey, i'm willing to lend my name to this particular product and you can sell it and you pay me for that l may have opened up the floodgates for student athletes to profit off themselves, but it's also opened up a debate nba hall of famer charles barkley coming out against an i o on 60 minutes. it's a travesty and a disgrace. we can't pay. all these players , and on wednesday the potential impact of nhl was being

discussed in the halls of congress is here to stay, and i believe that college athletes should be able to get paid as much as legally possible without a clear and consistent set of rules in place. the entire ecosystem is disrupted and important elements of the educational experience are decimated. now you might ask, why is such a big deal being made about amateur athletics? everyone at the college level is currently able to do n i l deals where it's messy now is at the high school level because that's not allowed in every state can make all the rules it wants, but the n c a doesn't have control over society. congress makes the laws the way the supreme court ruling worked was hey, nobody can restrict kids from doing this. so it would follow that that would be the same for high schools, elementary schools, whoever. what for future athletes now in high

school and younger can strike and i l deals. when did you first realize that you could make money doing this? at a school level. it was one practice and i came in. i ran on instagram most like a tweet or like a post my coaches like, what's that about? like, i thought that's not like legal anything like that. and it was like, no, they actually make it and i illegal, and then that's when they got into the whole thing. about to lsc johnla is s already one of the top prep stars in the country. you get the name boogie. ah so when i was young, like four or five, we would have parties and cookouts. whenever song came along. i was the first one to the dance floor. you know, i was just left the party feeling it and he buries it. highlights have led to off the court success, too. big deals for his name. bishop stefan act as one image and
