Gwyneth Paltrow: Testimony gets personal in ski crash trial

Daughter of actress's accuser grilled over missing GoPro footage, emails and father's health problems

Gwyneth Paltrow's lawyers on Thursday questioned the daughter of a man suing the Oscar-winning actress over a 2016 ski collision about a series of personal emails and missing GoPro camera footage referred to as “the most important piece of evidence” in the trial.

Steve Owens, Paltrow's lawyer, asked one of the man's daughters, Polly Grasham, about email communication with her father over GoPro footage that has mysteriously disappeared and the possibility that the lawsuit was filed against Paltrow because she was famous.

“I'm famous … At what cost?” Terry Sanderson, the 76-year-old retired optometrist suing Paltrow, wrote in the subject line of an email sent to family, taking a swipe at the actress after the incident in which the two collided on a Park City, Utah, slope.

Paltrow has previously called the lawsuit an attempt to exploit her fame and celebrity.

Mr Owens asked Ms Grasham why her father sent messages referring to her fame.

“It matches his personality a little bit, making light of a serious situation,” Ms Grasham said of the email.

The GoPro footage of the accident has so far not been found nor has it been included as evidence for the trial.

Mr Sanderson is suing Paltrow for more than $300,000 in damages, claiming the Shakespeare in Love star skied recklessly into him on a beginner run at Deer Valley Resort seven years ago, breaking his ribs and leaving him with a concussion.

The actress has claimed Mr Sanderson caused the crash and has countersued for $1 and legal fees.

The trial took on an increasingly personal tone on the third day of proceedings when Mr Sanderson's daughter and a neuropsychologist painted a grim picture of the retired optometrist's life.

Giving evidence via video in a recorded deposition, Dr Alina Fong said that when she first met Mr Sanderson in 2017, he had “myriad” symptoms indicative of having suffered a concussion.

“It affected him on so many levels, especially for someone who was used to loving life … by the time he came to me, that was pretty much gone.”

Dr Fong challenged the opinions of other medical experts employed by Paltrow’s defence, saying: “This has completely changed his life physically, emotionally, biologically — and he has been affected in all those domains.”

She said there was no evidence that Mr Sanderson was “faking” his injuries and he had been “an ideal patient”.

Mr Sanderson was not present during the detailing of his health problems.

Paltrow's lawyers questioned whether Ms Grasham and Dr Fong could say with certainty that Mr Sanderson's downturn was not a result of ageing or documented, pre-crash conditions.

They also questioned Ms Grasham about her father's anger problems, divorces and estranged relationship with another of his daughters, who is not giving evidence at the trial.

Paltrow is expected to be called to give evidence on Friday or early next week, when the eight-day trial continues.

Her lawyers have tried to represent Mr Sanderson's health problems as a natural of ageing rather than the results of a crash and indicated in opening statements that they plan to call Paltrow's husband Brad Falchuk and her two children, Moses and Apple, to the stand.

Other simple ideas for sushi rice dishes

Cheat’s nigiri 
This is easier to make than sushi rolls. With damp hands, form the cooled rice into small tablet shapes. Place slices of fresh, raw salmon, mackerel or trout (or smoked salmon) lightly touched with wasabi, then press, wasabi side-down, onto the rice. Serve with soy sauce and pickled ginger.

Easy omurice
This fusion dish combines Asian fried rice with a western omelette. To make, fry cooked and cooled sushi rice with chopped vegetables such as carrot and onion and lashings of sweet-tangy ketchup, then wrap in a soft egg omelette.

Deconstructed sushi salad platter 
This makes a great, fuss-free sharing meal. Arrange sushi rice on a platter or board, then fill the space with all your favourite sushi ingredients (edamame beans, cooked prawns or tuna, tempura veggies, pickled ginger and chilli tofu), with a dressing or dipping sauce on the side.

What is dialysis?

Dialysis is a way of cleaning your blood when your kidneys fail and can no longer do the job.

It gets rid of your body's wastes, extra salt and water, and helps to control your blood pressure. The main cause of kidney failure is diabetes and hypertension.

There are two kinds of dialysis — haemodialysis and peritoneal.

In haemodialysis, blood is pumped out of your body to an artificial kidney machine that filter your blood and returns it to your body by tubes.

In peritoneal dialysis, the inside lining of your own belly acts as a natural filter. Wastes are taken out by means of a cleansing fluid which is washed in and out of your belly in cycles.

It isn’t an option for everyone but if eligible, can be done at home by the patient or caregiver. This, as opposed to home haemodialysis, is covered by insurance in the UAE.

What can victims do?

Always use only regulated platforms

Stop all transactions and communication on suspicion

Save all evidence (screenshots, chat logs, transaction IDs)

Report to local authorities

Warn others to prevent further harm
