Gwyneth Paltrow took the stand in her ski crash trial on March 24 and immediately made headlines for her bizarre quotes.
In her testimony, the Goop founder reflected on her alleged hit-and-run collision with retired doctor Terry Sanderson during a 2016 family vacation.
The Oscar winner was at Deer Valley Resort in Park City, Utah, with husband Brad Falchuk, his two children and her own kids — daughter Apple and son Moses — when the incident occurred.
Three years later, Sanderson sued the “Shakespeare in Love” star for $3.1 million in damages, claiming the accident left him with “brain injury [and] four broken ribs.”

In February 2019, Paltrow countersued for $1 in “symbolic damages,” as well as attorney fees.
The trial is expected to run from March 21 to March 30, with the Golden Globe winner testifying on the fourth day — and her most viral quotes are below.

On thinking the crash was a sexual assault
“I was skiing and two skis came between my skis, forcing my legs apart. And then there was a body pressing against me.
“It was a quick thought that went through my head. There was a strange grunting noise and a body behind me so I was trying to make sense of what was going on. My mind was going very quickly.”
