Gwyneth Paltrow Addresses Backlash Over Her ‘Wellness Routine’

Actress Gwyneth Paltrow has arrived in court to respond to a civil lawsuit brought against her by a man who claims she injured him in a skiing accident seven years ago.

Paltrow claims she was hit from behind by another skier who had minor injuries, while Terry Sanderson, 76, a retired ophthalmologist, claims it was Paltrow who rammed him in a “full body blow” while she was skiing on the slopes of Park City, Utah. .

He says the movie star and CEO of Goop hit him so hard that he was left with “permanent traumatic brain injury, four broken ribs, pain, suffering, loss of enjoyment of life, emotional distress and disfigurement,” according to Law and crime.

The trial will determine who is responsible for damages that started at $3.1 million but have since been reduced to the $300,000 claim against Paltrow. She is seeking $1 in damages and to cover her legal fees.

The trial opens Tuesday as attorneys for both sides prepare to deliver opening statements.

Paltrow recently faced backlash over her now-viral health routine and daily diet that she put on a recent podcast with her doctor.

Terry Sanderson’s lawyers provoke expert testimony

During opening arguments, attorney Lawrence Bowler said he intended to show the jury testimony from a medical expert that purportedly supports his client’s claim that Gwyneth Paltrow hit him from behind.

Ma Paltrow claims it was Mr. Sanderson who bumped into her.

The expert was unable to testify this week due to a conflict with his schedule.

A fellow skier witnessed the accident

Sanderson’s attorneys alleged that a man named Ramon, whom he had met at a skateboarders’ meet-up, witnessed the incident.

Attorney Lawrence Buehler said that when Ramon reached out to the Sandersons, he realized he was confused as Paltrow’s coach Eric Christiansen yelled at him, “What have you done?”

Ms. Paltrow continued to ski down the slopes, and Mr. Sanderson was reportedly rescued by ski patrol before being taken to InstaCare and then to the emergency room.

“So what does the defense say about this?” Mr. Buehler claimed “…” It wasn’t my fault. It’s all Mr Sanderson’s fault. And they say, ‘Look, what’s the problem?’ Our doctors say he has dementia and blindness in one eye. Yes, he broke some ribs but they will heal. “

The plaintiff’s attorney delves into the details of the case

Buehler said his client was seriously injured as a result of a collision with Gwyneth Paltrow at Deer Valley Resort in 2016.

“Sometimes it’s just a bump or a bruise, sometimes it’s a scary or a close call, but sometimes it’s worse. Sometimes it’s a broken bone or a concussion or permanent brain damage and that’s what happened here.”

Ms. Paltrow, who has been skiing since she was three years old, has been to Deer Valley no fewer than six times, according to the plaintiff. On the day of the accident, Ms. Paltrow was reportedly visiting the resort with her family and four ski instructors.

Attorneys for Terry Sanderson begin opening arguments

During opening arguments, attorneys for Terry Sanderson said that Gwyneth Paltrow’s “conscious disregard for everyone else skating” caused his client serious injuries, including four broken ribs and permanent damage.

“All skiers know that when they’re skiing down the mountain, it’s their responsibility to pay attention, to look down, and to give right-of-way to the skiers below,” Mr. Sanderson’s attorney said.

“Because the skiers below them can’t see behind them as they turn left and right to control their speed, especially when there are a lot of people down the mountain, it is the uphill skier’s responsibility to give up the right-of-way to the skiers below.”

The jury won’t hear the arguments about “hit-and-run.”

Ruling on preliminary motions, Judge Kent Holmberg decided that the jury in Gwyneth Paltrow’s skiing accident trial would not hear arguments about the alleged “hit and run”.

Judge Holmberg said he reviewed enough evidence that Paltrow stopped and made sure Sanderson did not suffer any serious injuries before he left.

The jury will hear arguments from both sides about who had the right-of-way during the accident. Sanderson claims he was downhill and therefore had a right-of-way, while Paltrow claims it was the other way around.

The judge discusses decency in the courtroom

Judge Kent Holmberg will allow only one Associated Press photographer and a CourtTV videographer to document the proceedings.

“I spoke to the Associated Press, not standing, not moving, no sound from the camera,” the judge said.

Justice Homberg said live tweets would not be allowed during the hearing to minimize disruption to the courtroom.
