Gwyneth Paltrow is “not a liar” but is wrong about what she believes happened during a ski crash seven years ago, a US court was told. The Oscar-winning actor’s view on how events unfolded during the 2016 collision were “sincerely expressed” but incorrect, jurors in Utah heard. Paltrow is accused of “slamming” into retired optometrist Terry Sanderson, leaving him with several broken ribs and severe brain injuries.
She has denied the claims, alleging that Mr Sanderson crashed into her at the Deer Valley resort in Utah and caused her to lose “half a day of skiing”. Closing arguments took place in front of a packed courtroom on Thursday as the high-profile trial drew to a close, with lawyers for Mr Sanderson suggesting their client be awarded damages of more than $3m (£2. 4m).
Robert Sykes, representing Mr Sanderson, was the first to address the court, and told jurors that his client “never came home” from the mountain following the collision. “Gwyneth Paltrow in this case is not a liar. Terry Sanderson is not a liar,” he said.
“Gwyneth is a good person. She is a good mother and she loves her children and she is passionate about things. “I think that she believes, and I believe Gwyneth Paltrow when she says, ‘Terry hit me in the back’ – it’s a sincere belief, but the problem is, a sincere belief doesn’t make it so.
”Mr Sykes continued: “So often people that are in these types of events have totally different viewpoints. We don’t hold anything against Gwyneth for her viewpoint – it’s sincerely expressed – but she’s wrong based on the evidence. And Terry is correct.
