Gwyneth Paltrow files countersuit over ski row

Gwyneth Paltrow has filed a countersuit against a man who claimed she crashed into him while skiing three years ago.

The 46-year-old actress has denied Terry Sanderson's allegations that he sustained serious injuries when she caused a collision after losing control of her skis at the Deer Valley Resort, Utah, back in February 2016, insisting it was actually him who "took her out from behind".

According to documents obtained by People magazine, Gwyneth had been enjoying skiing lessons with her family when the 69-year-old doctor " ploughed into her back", causing her to sustain a "full body blow".

The lawsuit stated: "She did not knock him down. He knocked her down. He was not knocked out. Ms. Paltrow was skiing carefully. She skied slowly to stay behind her children, who were receiving skiing instruction slightly further down the mountain."

Gwyneth is seeking "symbolic damages" of around $1, as well as her legal fees, in order to "defend this meritless claim" as she believes the lawsuit is simply an "attempt to exploit her celebrity and wealth".

According to his court documents, Tom says that on top of his injuries, he also suffered loss of enjoyment of life, emotional distress, disfigurement and medical expenses.
