On March 24, 2023, Gwyneth Paltrow took the stand to testify in her ongoing skii collision trial. Optometrist Terry Sanderson sued the actress for $3.1 million in 2019 accusing her of colliding with him on a ski slope at the Deer Valley Resort in Park City, Utah, in 2016 and causing him to have a permanent traumatic brain injury.The actress countersued Sanderson and claimed that he crashed into her on the ski slope. Paltrow also asked for $1 in damages and charged the repayment of her legal fees from the plaintiff.Sanderson’s lawyer Kristin Vanorman spent over an hour questioning the Marvel star about the events that led up to the incident and also tested her knowledge of ski rules.During her testimony, Paltrow continued to say that Sanderson was at fault during the ski collision incident. Speaking of the situation, the actress recalled:“Well, I was confused at first, and I didn't know exactly what was happening. It's a very strange thing to happen on a ski slope. And I froze, and I would say I got very upset a couple seconds later.”Gwyneth Paltrow went on to admit that she initially mistook the incident as some form of assault but rapidly dismissed the idea:“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, so my brain was trying to make sense of what was happening. I thought, 'Is this a practical joke? Is someone, like, doing something perverted?”The actress also confirmed that she yelled at Sanderson but shared that she later apologized to him for cursing:“I said, ‘You skied directly into my f***ing back,’ and he said, ‘Oh, sorry, sorry, I'm sorry.’ I was pretty upset.”bravo by betches@bravobybetchescast Gwyneth Paltrow on a housewives franchise immediately1781188cast Gwyneth Paltrow on a housewives franchise immediately https://t.co/xBFbT1qRjpAt one point during the testimony, Terry Sanderson’s attorney asked Paltrow about the losses she suffered during her 2016 vacation due to the ski collision:“He has deterred you from enjoying the rest of what was a very expensive vacation”In response, the actress said:“Well, I lost half a day of skiing”The clip of Paltrow’s answer went viral in the wake of the testimony and sparked hilarious reactions on social media.
