Gwyneth Paltrow’s accuser, who claims he became a “self-imposed recluse” after a 2016 ski crash, has been shown multiple photos on Facebook of him travelling following the incident.
Terry Sanderson, a 76-year-old retired optometrist, said he was “living another life” after a collision with Paltrow on a Utah ski slope, which he says left him with broken ribs and severe brain injuries.
He is suing the movie star for $300,000 (£244,000), while Paltrow is counter-suing for the nominal amount of $1, saying Mr Sanderson hit her.
Taking the stand for a second time in the case, Mr Sanderson was shown pictures by Paltrow‘s lawyers, taken from his own Facebook page, of him enjoying multiple holidays after the accident, including hiking and skiing.

He accepted he had travelled to multiple countries and attended a Cinco de Mayo celebration and rock gig.

Mr Sanderson said he travelled because “it was part of the healing process” as he “was told by several neurologists and cognitive therapists” to return to his routine of travelling, which happened “since retirement mostly”.

He claimed he struggled during the trips, unable to go by himself.
“Looking back at that time, I was determined to prove I didn’t have any mental issues,” he said.
Mr Sanderson said it was “very difficult” to sue a celebrity and his life had been “exposed” during the lawsuit.
Having already testified, Paltrow said she felt “very sorry” for her accuser’s health following the incident, but that she was not “at fault” and had been the crash “victim” instead.

Mr Sanderson then apologised to Paltrow for previously referring to her as sounding “like King Kong coming out of the jungle”, clarifying that his intention had been “twisted up”.
Closing arguments will be presented on Thursday.

Thousands of people gathered in various cities across the US as protests against Donald Trump and Elon Musk took place in all 50 states on Saturday.
Around 1,200 demonstrations were planned in locations including Washington DC, New York City and West Palm Beach, Florida – just miles away from where the US president has this weekend played golf.
The “Hands Off!” protests were against the Trump administration’s handling of government downsizing, human rights and the economy, among other issues.
In Washington DC, protesters streamed on the grass in front of the Washington Monument, where one person carried a banner which read: “Make democracy great again.”

Another protester took aim at Mr Trump‘s handling of Russia and Ukraine, with a placard that read: “Stop Putin’s puppets from destroying America.”
Tesla boss Mr Musk also featured on many signs due to his role in controversial government cuts as head of the newly created Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).

Terry Klein, a retired biomedical scientist, said she drove to the rally to protest Mr Trump’s policies on “everything from immigration to the DOGE stuff to the tariffs this week, to education”.
“I mean, our whole country is under attack, all of our institutions, all the things that make America what it is,” she added.

Some at the various protests carried Ukrainian flags, while others sported rainbow attire and waved rainbow flags in support of the LGBTQ+ community.
Other protesters wore Palestinian keffiyeh scarves and carried “Free Palestine” signs.
Thousands marched in New York City’s midtown Manhattan and in Boston, Massachusetts, while hundreds gathered in the sunshine outside the Utah State Capitol building in Salt Lake City, and in the rain outside the Statehouse in Columbus, Ohio.

The White House has said Mr Trump plans to go golfing again on Sunday.
