Gwyneth Paltrow testifies that she was confused, then angry, after ... (The Washington Post)

Gwyneth Paltrow opened her testimony by saying she "was hit" by the man suing her, "and he was at fault in the 2016 ski accident.

I said, ‘You skied directly into my effing back,’ and he said, ‘I’m sorry, I’m sorry.’” She apologized to the lawyer for her “bad language.” “I was confused at first and didn’t know exactly what was happening,” Paltrow testified, recalling the moment Sanderson’s skis appeared between her own and she felt a body pressing into her. Following the collision, Paltrow said she skied down and met her children, her then-boyfriend Brad Falchuk — now her husband — and his two children for lunch. “I feel very sorry for him," Paltrow said. “I pushed down the hill and I turned around and yelled at him … While cross-examining Sanderson’s daughter, Shae Hareth, Owen pointed out inconsistencies between her deposition and her testimony on Friday, claiming that she had previously expressed surprise at her father seeking a sum as high as $3 million in his legal action against Paltrow. The retiree wound up “facedown in the snow, unconscious,” according to Buhler, who said Paltrow quickly skied away. Paltrow’s lawyers have argued that any decline in Sanderson’s health is unrelated to the crash. Earlier in the week, one of Sanderson’s attorneys, Lawrence Buhler, said Paltrow had turned around “to look at her children” when she screamed and crashed into Sanderson. Sanderson initially sued the actress for $3 million in 2019, but dropped the claim to “more than $300,000” after a judge tossed his initial claim, according to the Associated Press. Paltrow gave a very different account of the collision on Friday. Sanderson skied directly into my back,” the founder of the lifestyle and wellness brand Goop said shortly after attorneys for the plaintiff, Terry Sanderson, called her to the stand.
