Gwyneth Paltrow seen whispering message in accuser’s ear after she wins ski crash court case

The actress was handed $1 in damages.

Gwyneth Paltrow has won a high-profile court case against a man who claimed she crashed into him while skiing. The Oscar-winning actress had been accused by retired optometrist Terry Sanderson of crashing into him on a Utah ski slope in 2016. He had sought $300,000 in damages after he alleged the incident left him with a permanent traumatic brain injury that robbed him of “his enjoyment for life”. During the trial, Paltrow’s lawyer Steven Owens stated that the actress had become a “punching bag” for Sanderson and his family. Owens told the court: “He hurt her and then he asked $3 million for the pleasure of it.” Following two hours and 20 minutes of deliberation, the jurors came to the conclusion that Sanderson was 100% at fault for the accident. They awarded Paltrow a symbolic $1.

I am pleased with the outcome and I appreciate all of the hard work of Judge Holmberg and the jury, and thank them for their thoughtfulness in handling this case.” Sanderson, meanwhile, said he stands by his version of events and, when quizzed about what he intends to do now, joked “maybe Disneyland!” Related articles:
