Physiologically, humans have one front side and one backside, so it would seem to be close to impossible for this collision to happen as per the details of both Paltrow and Sanderson’s accounts. Sanderson and Paltrow both allege that the other skied into their back, and that each was further down the slope from the other skier.
#FREE MOVIES 28 WEEKS LATER TRIAL#
The Park City trial is attempting to determine who hit whom on the slopes of the Deer Valley ski resort on February 26, 2016. Did Gwyneth Paltrow ski into an aging optometrist? Or did an aging optometrist ski into Gwyneth Paltrow? In a world where we’re told that celebrities are just like us and celebrities themselves tell us they’re just like us, Paltrow’s ski trial is a blazing, mesmerizing reminder that, actually, they’re not like us at all. The threshold between satire and reality, the absurd and the logical, the unattainable and the familiar, is apparently Gwyneth Paltrow on a Park City beginner slope. It could pass as a sharp, dark bit of satire on American wealth and celebrity if it weren’t, you know, actual life. The randomness of the questioning combined with Paltrow’s frank answers have given the trial a surreal feel, like a prestige dark comedy on HBO designed to spoof the rich. She claims his lawsuit is nothing more than an attempt to leverage her fame into a payday.Īnd while the ongoing civil court case will determine who is liable and pays up - Sanderson is asking for $300,000 in damages while Paltrow is asking for a symbolic $1 and the legal fees - the judgment has all but been eclipsed by Paltrow’s blistering testimony on the stand.ĭuring her cross-examination on March 24, Paltrow took the stand and, under oath, stated that she isn’t friends with Taylor Swift, that she is a shade under 5-foot-10 but shrinking, and that she yelled “you’re skiing directly into my fucking back” when the septuagenarian was reeling on the snowy ground, flailing after they knocked into one another. Some of his injuries, she and her lawyers allege, predate the collision. Paltrow countersued, claiming that the man actually barreled downhill into her, not seeing her until it was too late. Seventy-six-year-old retired optometrist Terry Sanderson is suing Paltrow, the extremely wealthy, Oscar-winning actress/ businesswoman/ nepotism baby, alleging that a collision with her on a bunny slope in Park City, Utah, on a fateful February day in 2016 ruined his life. Welcome to the second week of the Gwyneth Paltrow hit-and-run ski trial. This week marked the return of one of the most riveting shows featuring affluent white people, the limits of their kindness, the destruction they’re capable of, and the power they wield. Editors note, March 30, 8 pm ET : On Thursday evening, a jury sided with Gwyneth Paltrow, saying that she was not at fault for the 2016 ski accident.
