Gwyneth Paltrow said she was “pleased with the outcome” of a high-profile US skiing collision lawsuit, after she was found not to be at fault for the 2016 incident.The Oscar-winning actress said she felt that “acquiescing to a false claim compromised my integrity”, and thanked jurors after the verdict was returned in her favour.
Retired optometrist Terry Sanderson sued Ms Paltrow over the crash at the Deer Valley ski resort in Utah over seven years ago, which left him with several broken ribs and severe head injuries.
She had denied the claim, and accused Mr Sanderson of crashing into her, resulting in her losing “half a day of skiing” with her family and being “sore”.
On Thursday jurors returned a verdict clearing her of all fault after just over two hours of deliberation, and apportioned “100%” of the blame to Mr Sanderson for the crash.They also awarded the actress her “symbolic” counterclaim of one dollar in damages, as well as attorney fees. “I felt that acquiescing to a false claim compromised my integrity,” Ms Paltrow wrote in a statement on her Instagram story, shortly after the verdict. “I am pleased with the outcome and I appreciate all of the hard work of Judge (Kent) Holmberg and the jury, and thank them for their thoughtfulness in handling this case.” Both she and Mr Sanderson were present in court as the verdict was read out.
