Gwyneth Paltrow's Goop may not have advice on this one ...
The 46-year-old actress is being sued for $3.1 million by a Utah doctor who claims Paltrow crashed into him while skiing in Deer Valley, Utah in February 2016.
Terry Sanderson alleges Paltrow was "skiing out of control," hit him in the back and then "got up, turned and skied away, leaving Sanderson stunned, lying in the snow, seriously injured." Sanderson also alleges Gwen's ski instructor Eric Christiansen filed a false report to protect his client, claiming Paltrow didn't cause the crash.
The doctor says he has "permanent traumatic brain injury," suffered four broken ribs, pain, suffering, loss of enjoyment of life, emotional distress and disfigurement. Sanderson gave a press conference on Tuesday and said he remembers feeling that his "brain felt like novocaine" after the accident: "I felt really numb."
Meanwhile, Gwyneth's attorneys released a statement saying: "This lawsuit is completely without merit. Anyone who reads the facts will realize that."
