WATCH LIVE: Gwyneth Paltrow takes stand in ski crash trial in Park City
PARK CITY, Utah — “I didn’t engage in risky behavior. I wouldn’t with my children there or without my children there,” Paltrow said when asked about a 2016 ski collision.
Her testimony could last longer than an hour and is expected to mirror what she said in a previous deposition about how she “froze” when the crash happened. The trial has touched on themes ranging from skier’s etiquette to the power — and burden — of celebrity. Sanderson’s daughter, Shae Herath, testified Friday that she didn't know whether GoPro footage existed, despite her email. She said her father told her over the phone that he assumed there must be GoPro footage of the collision — from someone on the crowded run with a camera affixed to their helmet.
The trial thus far has shone a spotlight on Park City, Utah — the posh ski town known for rolling out a red carpet for celebrities each January during the Sundance Film Festival — and skiers-only Deer Valley Resort, where Paltrow and Sanderson collided. The resort is among the most upscale in North America, known for sunny slopes, après-ski champagne yurts and luxury lodges.
Lawyers for Paltrow spent much of Thursday raising questions about Sanderson's mentions of their client's wealth and celebrity as well as what they called his “obsession” with the lawsuit.
