Gwyneth Paltrow Asked About Taylor Swift Friendship & $1 Countersuit During Trial

Gwyneth Paltrow was asked in court if Taylor Swift inspired her request to seek $1 in damages for her 2016 ski crash trial. The Oscar winner testified on Friday in connection with a lawsuit stemming from a collision at Deer Valley resort. Now-retired optometrist Terry Sanderson’s attorney, Lawrence D. Buhler claims Paltrow crashed into Sanderson on a beginner slope, causing him to break four ribs and sustain permanent traumatic brain injury. Sanderson is reportedly seeking more than $300,000 in damages from the actress. Paltrow denies all allegations and is countersuing Sanderson, alleging he ran into her and is asking the jury to award her $1 in symbolic damages and have her attorneys’ fees covered.
