Gwyneth Paltrow, Depp v Heard, Wagatha: Are high-profile lawsuits really worth it for celebs?

msn.com:

Gwyneth Paltrow consciously uncoupled from ordinary life years ago. In the era of celebrity relatability, with once mysterious A-listers now sharing everything from breakfast to breakdowns on social media, she is one star completely comfortable with the world knowing she exists on a higher plane of bone broth, vagina candles, and $8,000-a-day skiing lessons.

Facing a lawsuit, many A-listers might simply choose to pay-up, regardless of whodunnit, rather than go through the rigmarole of a potentially reputation-damaging court case.

But the Oscar-winner turned wellness guru is not one of them. The internet has been flooded with Paltrow in the last two weeks, as her high-profile legal fight played out on camera.

This all started with a skiing accident involving a retired optometrist in Utah in 2016, and somehow ended in global headlines about the star's outfits, controversy over her offer to hand out treats in the courtroom - declined! - and questioning about her friendship with Taylor Swift.
