Gwyneth Paltrow was called to the witness stand Friday in a civil suit filed against her, where she disputed allegations that she caused an accident at Utah’s Deer Valley Resort in 2016 that left a man seriously injured.
Terry Sanderson, 76, who is seeking $300,000 from Paltrow, says she slammed into him from behind in a ski collision that left him with a concussion, brain injury and four broken ribs. But Paltrow alleges that it was actually Sanderson at fault and that he is exploiting her wealth.

Paltrow was called to the stand Friday by Sanderson’s attorneys, after the jury heard from Sanderson's daughters, an eyewitness and medical experts.
Paltrow said she was “gently” skiing down the slope when she felt a body press into her back and saw two skis slide between hers. She and Sanderson fell to the ground, Paltrow said, adding that she momentarily froze before becoming upset and yelling an expletive at Sanderson.
Paltrow apologized for the outburst, saying she felt violated and initially believed the crash might have been a sexual assault.
“There was a body pressing against me and a very strange grunting noise,” she said.
(snip) Sanderson's acquaintance, Craig Ramon, (snip) testified Tuesday that he was roughly 35 feet uphill from Sanderson at the time of the accident.
Ramon said he heard a scream and within a few seconds, saw Paltrow slam into Sanderson from behind. He stopped beside them after seeing them both fall to the ground, saying Paltrow stood back up but Sanderson was facedown in the snow for about two minutes.
Paltrow did not speak to them, Ramon said, leaving about four minutes after the accident without identifying herself or asking if Sanderson was alright or needed medical attention.

He said, she said. Oh well, that’s what courts are for.
Just write him a check you stupid selfish bitch.

Sexual assault on skies? Some interesting possibilities here. If one has a perverse mind.

Do a lot of struggle snuggles happen while skiing?
Sure. People always sexually assault other people bundled up in ski gear, out in the open, on ski slopes. And slamming into somebody from the rear is the most common type of sexual assault on the slopes.
Maybe she can settle the case with a case of her vagina perfume.
If this guy is after her wealth, he didn’t ask for a lot. With potential head injuries, he could have sued her for millions. $300,000 seems more like a settlement amount to avoid court.
she is a despicable person. Saw her on a cooking show maybe 15 years ago and she was lecturing the host about how she only eats organic free range chicken and she won’t eat what she was served unless the host assured her it was free range. Just a totally spoiled, clueless B.
Not an untypical mindset of one of our “betters”. When you’ve got millions and time you can do a lot of things ordinary working folks can’t.
Even though the eye witness testified in detail that it was totally her fault and she took off and left the scene. 🙄
Having skied for many years, and had more than my share of wipe outs... tho only once involving another, I’d say if his skis were between hers and they both fell, for him to be face down in the snow would mean she would have to be under him. But instead, she landed 10 feet away somehow.
The most likely result would be her hitting him, him falling face down, and her ending up 10 ft away. Anything else would require serious contortions.
This is more than “he said, she said”.
“Sanderson’s acquaintance, Craig Ramon, saw Paltrow slam into Sanderson from behind.”
“Paltrow said she was “gently” skiing down the slope when she felt a body press into her back and saw two skis slide between hers, saying she felt violated and initially believed the crash might have been a sexual assault.”
Sanderson’s witness’s account is plausible which Paltrow’s account is pretty far-fetched.
Does Sanderson have the “preponderance of the evidence” (i.e., that it is more likely than not) that the defendant is responsible for the harm the plaintiff has suffered? Looks like it to me, at least from what is written here (although I think Paltrow is a cutie or at least looked like it in Iron Man).
Not sure the Plaintiff’s $300K for his injuries (if the injuries are true) is “exploiting her wealth.”
The article says Ramon was Sanderson acquaintance
This is hard to ascertain
Seems like payday to me
He wasn’t perm injured
Lawyers cultivate these cases they keep
I’m sure there have been talks but not enough
She’s probably never done an honest day’s work in her life.
I don’t think she has.
What is it with the rich and powerful believing they’re above the law?!
