"His body pressed against me from behind, so I literally froze with fear. "He got between my legs with his skis and slammed into me, so at one point I thought that something perverse and strange was happening," said the actress.
She emphasized that she did not accuse Sanderson of sexual assault, but that she did not care at the time because she heard gasps and moans.
"My brain just tried to connect what was going on behind me," Paltrow claimed.
"You said a man rammed into you." How did you know he was a man?” Teri's lawyer asked.
"I felt the weight of his entire body on top of me, and the moaning sounds I heard were typically male," Gwyneth replied.
She also addressed Sanderson's accusations that she did not help him after the accident and that she yelled at him.
