Paltrow was sued by retired optometrist Terry Sanderson in 2019 over a ski crash that he claimed left him severely injured. However, a jury ruled that the Goop founder was not at fault for the accident and awarded her $1 in damages Thursday.

Samantha Imrie, a juror on the Gwyneth Paltrow Utah ski crash trial, is speaking out. The jury found Terry Sanderson, who sued Paltrow for $300,000 in a negligence lawsuit, to be "100 percent at fault" for a ski collision with Paltrow at the Deer Valley ski resort in 2016.  Imrie, who was juror 11, was part of the jury who sided with the Goop founder on Thursday.

Zack Sharf Digital News Director A juror in the Gwyneth Paltrow ski accident trial opened up to ABC News about the jury’s unanimous decision in favor of the Oscar-winning actor. Samantha Imrie, a nurse who was Juror #11, said it only took a couple of hours for the jury to reach its verdict, although her mind changed sides repeatedly during the trial. “The whole thing was a little shocking,” she said. Terry Sanderson, a 76-year-old retired optometrist, sued Paltrow for $300,000, alleging that in 2016 the actor skied into him at a Deer Valley ski resort in Utah and left him with a concussion, four broken ribs and a brain injury.

Gwyneth Paltrow is at the center of a lawsuit that has many captivated, and closing arguments are today. It all goes back to February 26, 2016, on the bunny slope at Deer Valley Resort in Park City, where a man named Terry Sanders claimed the Shallow Hal star slammed into him, leaving him face down in the snow unconscious.

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.

Terry Sanderson, the man suing Gwyenth Paltrow, apologized for a slight against her.

Terry Sanderson claimed Gwyneth Paltrow was responsible for more than just the injuries he suffered on the ski slope in 2016. During the sixth day of testimony, Sanderson blamed the actress for three "near-death experiences" after the collision. Sanderson initially sued Paltrow for $3.1 million and claimed he was the victim of a hit-and-run on the slopes at the Deer Valley ski resort in 2016.

Gwyneth Paltrow’s children have shared their testimony in the actress’s ski crash trial.

Taylor Swift embarked on The Eras Tour two weeks ago, but she was one of the many celebrity names invoked in Gwyneth Paltrow's ski collision trial in Park City, Utah. The 50-year-old Goop lifestyle brand founder took the stand Friday to defend herself in a lawsuit filed by Terry Sanderson who claimed Gwyneth not only crashed into him causing traumatic injuries, but also skied away after the crash on the slopes at the Deer Valley ski resort in 2016.  He initially sued Paltrow for $3.1 million, but a judge dismissed the claim and removed the exclusive resort and a ski instructor from the lawsuit before Sanderson proceeded with the $300,000 suit.

Courtroom chic? Gwyneth Paltrow has put on quite the fashion show while in Utah for a civil trial. 

— hello, rectal ozone therapy, jade eggs, and magic mushroom seminars. Not since the that Paltrow wore to the Oscars in 2002 has the internet’s favourite wellness fanatic garnered this level of interest in her outfits. They’re neither exuberant nor outré, but rather pared-back, pristine, and perfectly pitched for a courthouse in Utah, where the Oscar-winner has been giving testimony in , a retired optometrist she collided with on Deer Valley’s Bandana Run back in 2016.
