Gwyneth Paltrow

Actor thought crash was a 'prank' or something 'perverted' during a 2016 collision with Terry Sanderson at a mountain resort.

And my knee splayed open, and I was in shock.” Sanderson is seeking “more than $300,000” in damages, while Paltrow has countersued for $1 and attorney fees. Paltrow denied that she ever engaged in “risky behavior” on a ski run with which she said she was previously familiar. “I think you have to keep in mind, when you’re the victim of a crash … The proceedings will resume on Monday with Sanderson slated to testify. When asked if she was being an aggressive skier, she said no and that slope was a green run filled with families. He told the jury, of Sanderson: “His comprehension had gone down, he’d get confused … Attorneys for Paltrow and Sanderson have been jostling to convince the 10-member jury which skier was positioned downhill and therefore had the right of way. Terry Sanderson, a retired optometrist, is suing the Oscar-winning actor for $300,000, claiming that her recklessness caused the crash and left him with lasting physical injuries. And they know me very well.” This is really really strange.” “I was skiing and two skis came between my skis, forcing my legs apart and then there was a body pressing against me and there was a very strange grunting noise,” Paltrow said.

The actor-turned-lifestyle influencer says the collision at an upmarket ski resort was caused by the man suing her over the crash.

When asked whether she’s friends with Swift over a parade of objections from her attorney, Paltrow said no, but that she was “friendly” with the singer. Paltrow’s attorneys argue both that she didn’t cause the crash and that the extent of Sanderson’s injuries is exaggerated. Paltrow testified that she stood nearby on the mountain as one of her family’s four ski instructors promised to give Sanderson her contact information and file an incident report. The amount of money at stake for both sides pales in comparison to the typical legal costs of a multiyear lawsuit, private security detail and expert witness-heavy trial. After sitting in court for four days, Paltrow remained calm and collected for more than two hours on the witness stand. Paltrow later clarified that after her split-second panic, she realised that the sudden collision wasn’t sexual in nature.

The actress testifies she felt "hurt and violated" when she says a man crashed into her on the slope.

Mr Sanderson, she said, had mumbled that he was OK. "I was skiing and looking downhill as you do," she said. Lawyers for Mr Sanderson asked if she remembered her nine-year-old son, Moses, shouting "mommy, mommy, watch me." This is an alternate version of my dad." "Is this a practical joke. Is someone doing something perverted?"

Hollywood star Gwyneth Paltrow has told a court that she feared she was being sexually assaulted when she was hit from behind on a ski slope.

Asked about Ramon, she said: “I don’t believe he saw it. I’ve taken my kids to her concert once but we don’t speak very often.” I don’t know how he can be positive about what he saw, given the distance. I’m sorry that I cursed.” She flatly denied that she was involved in a “hit and run” on the day of the crash and replied “absolutely not” when asked if she had asked Christiansen to falsify a report of the incident on her behalf. I didn’t know, is this a practical joke or is someone doing something perverted?” We are friendly. Paltrow said she had stayed on the mountain for a while after the collision, saying: “I did indeed.” I got very upset a few seconds later. “My daughter was down the hill and my son was to my left, I was skiing and my eyes were not just on Moses.” She said: “He was making some strange noises that sounded male and he was large so I assumed he was a male. She admitted that she did not remember asking if Sanderson was OK and left ski instructor Eric Christiansen to “handle” the situation for her — continuing down the slope to meet daughter Apple at the bottom.

Gwyneth Paltrow, the award-winning actress facing a civil trial for a 2016 skiing crash at a Utah resort, testified that she "froze" when a man allegedly ...

It was the first time Paltrow and her then-boyfriend were introducing their children to each other to gauge whether they had a future as a “blended family.” She was shaken and upset, and quit skiing for the day even though it was still morning.” I thought it was very minor on the day,” she said. At one point, VanOrman asked whether Paltrow can demonstrate the crash with her in at the courtroom, but the judge declined that request. Sanderson also accuses Paltrow and her ski instructor of skiing away after the incident without getting him medical care. And there was a very strange grunting noise.
