Gwyneth Paltrow blames brain-damaged ‘victim’ — and thought she was being sexually assaulted after ski-slope collision

Gwyneth Paltrow testified Friday that she thought she was being sexually assaulted while skiing in Utah during the contentious trial over a 2016 ski-slope crash that a retired optometrist says left him permanently brain-damaged.

Dressed in all black, Paltrow, 50, is pushing back at Dr. Terry Sanderson’s claims she negligently rammed into him on the slopes of Deer Valley Resort in Utah and permanently altered the course of his life.

“I was hit by Mr. Sanderson, and he was at fault,” Paltrow told the court almost immediately upon taking the stand.

The doctor, 76, suffered a concussion and broken ribs, and contends the long-term effects have disabled him. He is suing Paltrow for $300,000 in damages.

Paltrow has rejected his narrative — and counters it was Sanderson who caused the accident.

On the stand, she established herself as an “intermediate” skier and said she had been skiing since her childhood.

The Academy Award-winning “Shakespeare in Love” star also disputed Sanderson’s claim she did a “hit-and-run” and fled the scene following the crash.

Paltrow told jurors her ski instructor had told her that he would give Sanderson her information.

“I was skiing and two skis came between my skis, forcing my legs apart, and then there was a body pressing against me,” she explained. “And there was a very strange grunting noise. So my brain was trying to make sense of what was happening.

“I thought, ‘Is this a practical joke? Is someone, like, doing something perverted? This is really, really strange.’ My mind was going very, very quickly, and I was trying to ascertain what was happening,” she continued.

Sanderson was “groaning and grunting in a very disturbing way,” she said.

“Our bodies were almost spooning. And I moved away quickly,” Paltrow added.

Sanderson’s lawyer Kristin VanOrman then attempted to reenact the 2016 crash — and even tried to have both Paltrow and Sanderson help her recreate the moment the two collided, which the judge nixed.

The exchanges between Paltrow and VanOrman turned testy. After Paltrow said that “Mr. Sanderson categorically hit me on that ski slope and that is the truth,” the lawyer responded: “And I’m sure that that’s what you believe.”

“Because it’s the truth,” Paltrow hit back.

During a recess, VanOrman told the judge that Paltrow “lied under oath a number of times” during the short time she had been on the stand, eliciting a massive gasp from the actress. – Source
