Gwyneth Paltrow is being roasted for her viral quote about losing “half a day of skiing” — and Busy Philipps is getting in on the fun.

One day after the Goop founder’s testimony in her ski crash court case made headlines, Philipps posted a serious Instagram selfie while out for drinks with pal Jen Tullock, the NY Post reports.

“Well, we lost a half day of skiing,” the Freaks and Geeks actress, 43, captioned the snap on Saturday with what appeared to be two espresso martinis.

Philipps’ social media followers praised her online trolling over the weekend.

“God I love some good New York shade,” one user wrote. “Bless.”

Another called the actress’ caption “everything,” with a third telling Philipps to “drop the mic”.

Paltrow, 50, has been in court over her and retired doctor Terry Sanderson’s 2016 hit-and-run ski collision since March 21.

The former optometrist sued the Oscar winner in January 2019 for allegedly skiing into him and “causing a brain injury [and] four broken ribs,” with Paltrow filing a countersuit the following month.

The Shakespeare in Love star took the stand on Friday and alleged that Sanderson was the one to hit her.

When asked whether he “deterred [her] from enjoying what was the rest of a very expensive vacation” in Park City, Utah, she solemnly replied, “Well, I lost half a day of skiing, yes.”

Philipps, who posted the “iconic” moment to her Instagram story, wasn’t the only social media user to roast the Golden Globe winner’s comment.

“Texting all my friends ‘well … I lost half a day of skiing’ next time any minor inconvenience befalls me,” one user tweeted Saturday.

Others joked that Paltrow should receive an Oscar for her performance on the stand, with one proposing a new Ryan Murphy “American Crime Story” series called “I Lost Half a Day of Skiing”.

Many referred to her testimony as “art”.

Paltrow’s husband, Brad Falchuk, and the two children she shares with ex Chris Martin — Apple, 18, and Moses, 16 — are set to take the stand before the trial’s expected end on Thursday.
