Terry Sanderson’s lawsuit against Gwyneth Paltrow

Paltrow received a lawsuit from Sanderson in 2019, alleging that she collided with him from behind while the two were skiing on a slope in Deer Valley Resortin the US state of Utah, in 2016.

The man claimed to be the winner Oscar skied “carelessly” and that he got a concussion in the accident, four broken ribs and a permanent brain injury, along with changes in his personality that affected his daily life.

Paltrow’s version was the exact opposite of that of the 76-year-old man, who insisted he was enjoying a day of skiing with his family when he felt a blow to his back that knocked him to the ground.

Sanderson has repeatedly claimed that he was the one who took the hit and that he “went flying”, passing out when he fell to the ground.

This Thursday, as the final witness in the case, Sanderson’s team called neurologist Richard Boehme to testify by phone, and after being questioned by Paltrow’s lawyers, he assured that it was impossible that Sanderson could have “flew” to ski hit.

“The skier who hit him from behind must have been going over 80 or 100 kilometers per hour, which seems very unlikely to me unless it was a skier. Olympic skier descent,” he said minutes before the verdict was handed down by the jury.

The case became very popular on social media, where some of the statements made during the trial, which were streamed live on a YouTube account, were dismissed as absurd. Networks for law and crime.
