Paltrow briefly thought ski collision was sexual assault

Paltrow reiterated multiple times that she had been the "victim" of a ski crash. The Oscar-winning actress said she did "not believe" the testimony of previous witnesses and that her version of events was "categorically" the truth.

Paltrow is being sued by retired optometrist Terry Sanderson over a collision at the Deer Valley resort in Utah in 2016. She is accused of "slamming" into Mr Sanderson on a ski slope and falling on top of him, leaving him with several broken ribs and a severe concussion. Paltrow has denied the allegations, claiming that Mr Sanderson collided with her, and is countersuing him.
