Gwyneth Paltrow testified Friday in a civil lawsuit she faces in a ski accident in Utah that while she feels “sorry” for the actor, she is not responsible for the problems she continues to face.
“I’m sorry for the fact that he seems to have had a very difficult life, but I didn’t make the accident, so I can’t be blamed for what happened to him later,” Paltrow said on the fourth day of the trial.
The “Shakespeare in Love” actress is being sued for $300,000 for colluding with Terry Sanderson, a secretive optometrist, when the two slid down the slopes at Deer Valley Resort in Utah in 2016.
Sanderson filed a lawsuit against the actress in 2019 alleging that Paltrow hit him “skiing at random” and that the accident left him with a concussion, four broken ribs and long-term brain damage.
In addition, he stated that the Oscar winner had reported to him after the incident without giving him his name or a contact phone number to contact him if he needed help.
In her version of events, exactly the opposite of the 76-year-old man, Paltrow said she was having a ski day with her family when she felt a blow to her back that knocked her to the ground.
“My head was trying to figure out what was going to happen,” Paltrow said, explaining that she was “freezing” at the time and thought it was an act of sexual harassment.
On this Friday, Paltrow stated that it was not “act and run”, when he was informed that the situation was over, he waited for the man to get up and confirmed that he was fine, before they met again on stage. with his
He also said that out of “anger” and “tiredness” the incident had caused him, Sandersonius shouted, “slid right into my back” and excused himself to “talk” then come back.
Paltrow was invited by Sanderson in 2019 for $1, plus attorneys’ fees.
The trial began on Tuesday, January 21, and among the witnesses who spoke were people close to the plaintiff, such as his two daughters, who affirmed that the life and personality of the father had changed abysmally after the accident.
The actress’s sons, Moses and Lacus, who were with their mother on the day of the accident, as well as some of the Deer Valley Resort staff, are expected to testify next week.
In addition, the creation of animated objects is also listed.
