Gwyneth Paltrow told a court that she felt “very sorry” for a man she collided with on a ski slope, but reiterated multiple times that she had been the “victim” of the crash. The Oscar-winning actress said she could not be “at fault” for Terry Sanderson’s subsequent health decline as she had not caused the accident that prompted retired optometrist Mr Sanderson to sue her over a collision at the Deer Valley resort in Utah in 2016.
She is accused of “slamming” into Mr Sanderson on a ski slope and falling on top of him, leaving him with several broken ribs and a severe concussion. The actress has denied the allegations, claiming that Mr Sanderson collided with her, and is counter-suing him.
Ms Paltrow entered the witness box in Utah yesterday (Friday March 24) to give evidence, wearing a dark blue skirt and a button-down blouse, and began her evidence by describing herself as an “intermediate” skier who was “familiar” with the rules of skiing.
