American actress Gwyneth Paltrow, accused of causing a skiing accident seven years ago, will appear in court in Park City, Utah, this Tuesday, March 21.
Gwyneth Paltrow is indeed at the center of controversy again. And this time, it’s not users or health professionals who are attacking him, but a 76-year-old man, Terry Sanderson. The retired optician accuses the Goop founder of hitting and seriously injuring him while skiing in a Utah mountain in February 2016.
Injury and blows
The clash would be more precisely Deer Valley, a luxury resort in the Rocky Mountains above Park City, a city known for its film festival, Sundance. According to the plaintiff’s statements, Gwyneth Paltrow skied “dangerously” and crashed into her. The septuagenarian fell violently, resulting in “four broken ribs and permanent brain damage,” he assures. But her accusations do not stop there, because Terry Sanderson accuses the actress of hitting her. He claims that Gwyneth Paltrow and her ski instructor quickly fled without helping him.
Counter attack
The Goop founder denies these “false allegations.” He who also won an Oscar for his role in 1999 Shakespeare in Love a, defended himself by filing a complaint. He claims, on the contrary, that it was Terry Sanderson who first hit him in the back. Her barrister Stephen Owens told the court Gwyneth Paltrow was “not going fast” and she was scared when Mr Sanderson came up behind her. The actress confirmed at the time that she was in shock from the accident, to the point that she could not ski for the whole day.
The family called to testify
Gwyneth Paltrow sat in a white turtleneck sweater as her lawyer dismissed the complaint as based on “dust.” He is expected to take the stand later. Her husband Brad Falchuk and children Apple and Moses will also perform.
The outcome of this trial seems uncertain at this time. To remind, Terry Sanderson demands 300,000 dollars compensation from Gwyneth Paltrow. The verdict will be passed in the coming days.
