On Monday, in the latest dramatic installment of the ski collision trial between Gwyneth Paltrow and Terry Sanderson, Paltrow’s attorney grilled Sanderson on the email he sent hours after the crash in which he told his daughters, “I’m famous.”
Paltrow’s team’s argument—that Sanderson was the one who skied into Paltrow and that he is only suing in an attempt to take advantage of her celebrity—was on full display here.
“My head was scrambled. All I was trying to do was desperately communicate with my kids before they heard from someone else,” Sanderson said in court on Monday when asked about the email. “I didn’t pick my words well—and it was not at all how I felt... I was really trying to add some levity to a serious situation and it backfired. Little did I know this is where we’d be.”
