Last week, Goop founder Gwyneth Paltrow became the talk on social media after disclosing her seemingly minimal diet. Many believed she was undereating until the actress clarified on Instagram that she eats "far more" than just coffee, broth, and veggies. Unfortunately for Paltrow, she now faces backlash for her – what users are calling – "RBF" during her court appearance.

"#GwynethPaltrow Gurl...the resting b*tch face look is not workin' for you," tweets @ElizabethLawMom. "You're gonna need to practice another look in front of the mirror tonight."

"Uh oh #GwynethPaltrow struggling to hide her facial expressions #gwenethpaltrowtrial," says @theshamingofjay.

The academy award-winning actress is being sued by Terry Sanderson over a collision at a Utah ski resort in 2016. Doctors testified that the 76-year-old man she allegedly hit faced broken ribs and brain damage. “After his accident, he deteriorated abruptly,” radiologist Wendell Gibby testified. “And many of the activities that he used to do, he stopped doing.”

A judge threw out Sanderson's previous $3.1 million lawsuit, and he's now attempting to claim damages of "more than $300,000." Meanwhile, Paltrow is only seeking $1 and attorney fees, an action Taylor Swift took years ago when she sued a radio host for sexual assault. The symbolic $1 signifies it's not about the money.

Paltrow has denied Sanderson's allegations, and has argued that the plaintiff was the one who crashed into her, delivering her a full "body blow." "Ms. Paltrow remembers what happened very clearly," the lawsuit claimed. "She was enjoying skiing with her family on vacation in Utah when Plaintiff – who was uphill from Ms. Paltrow – plowed into her back. She sustained a full 'body blow.'"

The Iron Man star says the lawsuit against her is only an "attempt to exploit her celebrity and wealth," according to the countersuit.
