Gwyneth Paltrow and the skiing incident

[BringCathyBack]

Why is everything about suing these days?
He’s saying she crashed into him whilst being distracted by her kids. So it was an accident then? It’s not like she ploughed into him on purpose or crashed into him whilst drunk or high … it was an accident

She’s saying he crashed into her by accident and is counter suing him.

AIBU to think this whole suing culture for genuine accidents needs to stop?

In fairness musingsinmidlife, his daughters gave evidence he drives down the motorway reading a book.

Aa a woman I’ve had to weigh up whether a man has assaulted me several times.

Most recently in a uncrowded supermarket, a man shoved his basket into my bum. He apologised profusely and I gave him a dead eyes stare whilst my mind raced wondering if he did it deliberately and if the profuse apologies were his MO to avoid blame.

I also wonder the same when a man brushes behind me too closely. I have to assess quickly whether he had room and was it deliberate.

So I can totally understand why GP may have wondered if it was assault.

HER ski instructor did not witness it to clarify.

The witness referred to yesterday who G said was not telling the truth is mentioned in here.

Craig Ramon is a mate of Sanderson.

Really? Her imagine is literally what's made her millions and afforded her to life the luxury lifestyle that we can all but dream about. She has endless access to security, privilege and quality on the back of selling her image, literally.

So your comment is just laughable to me.

Under American law? It’s either Federal or State (Utah). It’s also not a criminal trial but a civil trial.

@Ktime you sound paranoid.

This is a really interesting thread.

I do not like GP. Because of how she perpetuates her obvious eating disorder. But clearly a man whose own daughter has said he’s aggressive and a bad driver, who apparently was fannying about on a ski slope, is entirely culpable for his own actions. It it feels like GP has committed the cardinal sin of being female and not being apologetic about it. So she must be guilty.

What has any of this to do with a civil trial about a skiing accident?

I totally agree with @MelsMoneyTree

Everyone deserves justice though, even if
you’re privileged. Sorry if you find that laughable.

I have no skin in the game, I hope they work out who was at fault.

Said like a man.

No matter the outcome, I absolutely hate all the focus on how she looks, what she's wearing, if she is happy/contrite/sad/ordinary enough. Even in court cases, women are subjected to so much scrutiny and crap about their outward appearance. It's ridiculous.

Yep

Same happened with Amber Heard.

She smiled too much

She didn’t smile enough

She wore black

She wore white

She looked too happy

She looked too sad

Why don’t these people just declare their hate for women and be done with it. Do us all a favour.

You thought a man, who nudged his basket into your bum, and who apologised profusely was sexually assaulting you??

You must be looking for issues.

The chances are, you were looking in the same section and he was distracted looking at the food and his basket hit your bum.

If it was his hand, you'd have a point. But what satisfaction do you really think he got from bumping you with his basket? And why would he then profusely apologise rather than claim ignorance?

Men are people with feelings too. However, if my partner was that man, and you death stared him, he'd have probably laughed in your face and gone about his daily business.

He SHOVED the basket, though. At least read my post properly before you spout your misogyny and ‘men have feelings too’ 🙄

Men are people with feelings too. However, if my partner was that man, and you death stared him, he'd have probably laughed in your face and gone about his daily business.

And your partner sounds like a knob.

Amber Heard is a poor example. Did you watch her? Her reactions were so far from typical. She came across incredibly insincere and contrived, that's why people critiqued her.

Oh, and the fact that her evidence didn't add up at all.

He's not actually. The knob would be the person who death stares someone who makes a genuine mistake.

If you accidentally bumped a basket into a man, would you be ok for him to death stare you? Is that ok with you?

She should buy him one of these

I too have had to weigh up if something crossed the line. A friends husband grabbing my waist to get past me. Or putting his hand just above my arse when having a photo taken etc. women deal with this shit every and I wouldn’t be a cool girl either if a man shoved his basket into my arse in the supermarket

This was tackled by the female prosecutor - referring to G as usually having people to handle things for her which was the procedure regarding the ski incident report.

Nice of you to decide it was a genuine mistake when you weren’t there and I was. And I didn’t say anything to him.

Lets hope you’re never on a jury.

How do you know he shoved it, if you had your back to him?

He could have stepped towards the shelf/fridge and his basket swung and hit your bum.

You're looking for problems. And your reaction to him was rude and aggressive.

@Ktime I'm not a man. But not every man you come into contact with is sexually assaulting you.

How did she come across as insincere?

Yawn at the Johnny sycophants. And man with a history of violence and addiction who is on film being abusive. Yeah of course he can’t possibly have been anything but angelic 🙄

Haha and what evidence are you going off, to think it's ok to death stare someone whilst they apologise profusely?

You'd be the bias jury, not me.

You're a woman? Not-guilty.

and?
