Gwyneth Paltrow has been accused during her ski crash trial of slamming so hard into a 72-year-old retired optometrist she “bounced off him”. The Oscar-winner was in court on Tuesday (21. 03.
23) for the first day of courtroom proceedings over the 2016 accident on the slopes, with the actress, 50, facing an allegation from Dr Terry Sanderson she left him with permanent brain damage after she allegedly struck him and fled at Deer Valley Resort in Utah. Greg Ramone, 58, from Salt Lake City took to the stand as he was skiing with Gwyneth’s alleged victim Dr Sanderson when the collision happened and was the only person to see the entire thing. He told jurors: “We were skiing down the run and then I heard this scream.
I looked over and I see this skier just slam into the back of Terry. “She slammed him. Very hard.
She hit him directly in the back. The tips of his skis go out and he goes face down, spread-eagle, with Gwyneth on top of him. There was about a second or two.
“Terry stops, then Gwyneth slid down to the right side. She bounced off of him. Gwyneth has claimed she was hit by former army optometrist Dr Sanderson and has accused the former medic of attempting to “exploit her celebrity and wealth”.
During his opening statement on Tuesday, the ‘Sliding Doors’ actress’ lawyer Stephen Owens said she was left bruised and upset by the smash and screamed “What the f***?” at Dr Sanderson. But Mr Ramone said she stayed silent after the crash before “bolting” down Bandana Mountain. He also claimed her ski guide Eric Christensen said to him: “Gwyneth Paltrow took out your buddy.
This month, thousands have been focusing in on Deer Valley, an extremely affluent ski town located in Park City, Utah. It also happens to be the scene of the alleged accident over which Gwyneth Paltrow was recently sued. The incident happened in 2016 when Paltrow and the plaintiff, Terry Sanderson, were both skiing on the same mountain.
Gwyneth Paltrow consciously uncoupled from ordinary life years ago. In the era of celebrity relatability, with once mysterious A-listers now sharing everything from breakfast to breakdowns on social media, she is one star completely comfortable with the world knowing she exists on a higher plane of bone broth, vagina candles, and $8,000-a-day skiing lessons. Facing a lawsuit, many A-listers might simply choose to pay-up, regardless of whodunnit, rather than go through the rigmarole of a potentially reputation-damaging court case.
All’s well that ends well? After the jury ruled in her favor and found her not liable for a skiing accident in 2016, Gwyneth Paltrow made a point to say goodbye to the man behind the lawsuit — Terry Sanderson — before exiting the courtroom.
Jury deliberations in the civil trial between Gwyneth Paltrow and Terry Sanderson began Thursday afternoon. Sanderson has sued Paltrow for $300,000, claiming she left him severely injured after a ski collision in 2016. Sanderson and Paltrow have very different recollections of the incident.The actress claims Sanderson skied into her from behind, while the retired optometrist has stated Paltrow hit him.
William Earl Gwyneth Paltrow is in court after being accused of colliding with a skier, but the man suing her was served a blow after one of his own expert witnesses during a wacky morning in court on March 30. On March 27, Terry Sanderson, who is suing Paltrow after a 2016 collision in Park City, Utah, testified that he was sent “absolutely flying” after his claim that Paltrow hit him: “All I saw was a whole lot of snow. And I didn’t see the sky, but I was flying.” Yet Sanderson’s legal team brought Dr. Richard Boehme, a neurologist, to testify as a final witness via Zoom. After the connection was garbled several times, the team brought his testimony to a cell phone, which then promptly dropped. Once the communication issues cleared up, he was asked by Paltrow’s side if he recalls testimony from Sanderson that he went airborne during the accident.
Gwyneth Paltrow's lawyer questioned plaintiff Terry Sanderson on how he spent time traveling the world while also being a "self-imposed recluse" in the years after the 2016 ski collision.

Sanderson, now 76, was labeled a "self-imposed recluse" throughout the trial.
