Imagine, for a moment, that you are skiing down a crisp mountain in Utah, sun shining, wind in your hair, birds pecking at the ice in your mask. Suddenly, an effervescent Himalayan salt-infused body comes out of nowhere and smacks you to the ground before skiing off. “Who WAS that?” you ask your wife, as paramedics lift your bloody torso onto on a gurney. “It was Gwyneth Paltrow,” your wife says, waving goodbye as they shut the ambulance doors.
This very scenario more or less came to pass, at least according to Terry Sanderson, a Utah doctor who is suing Paltrow for over $3.1 million, the equivalent of about 193,750 months of GOOP enchanted crystal subscriptions. Per People, Sanderson says he was skiing at the at the Deer Valley Resort in Park City, Utah in February 2016 when Paltrow “skied out of control and hit” him on the slopes. They both fell to the ground, Sanderson alleges, but then Paltrow “got up, turned and skied away, leaving Sanderson stunned, lying in the snow, seriously injured.”
