Gwyneth Paltrow's private security wanted to bring in 'treats' for the bailiffs at her ski collision trial

• Gwyneth Paltrow's private security wanted to bring "treats" for the bailiffs at her ski collision trial.
• The security team was denied to do so after the plaintiff's attorney's objected.

Gwyneth Paltrow's private security team wanted to bring in "treats" for the courtroom bailiffs at the actress' civil trial over a ski collision in Utah — but was swiftly denied.

"Private security for my client wanted to bring in treats for the bailiffs for how helpful they've been, so I wanted to do that transparently and see if there are any objections," Paltrow's defense attorney Steve Owens said in the courtroom on Thursday before testimony continued in the trial.

Attorneys for retired optometrist Terry Sanderson — who sued Paltrow, accusing the Goop founder of crashing into him on a beginner ski slope at Park City's Deer Valley Resort in 2016 — quickly objected.

"Let them know thank you, but no thank you," Judge Kent Holmberg said, noting that lawyers for both sides could always agree to give the treats later.

One of Sanderson's lawyers then ripped Owens, saying, "I mean, you should have asked us first, frankly."

"You just sprung it on us now, so we object," Sanderson's lawyer continued.

It was not clear exactly what kinds of treats Paltrow's security team wanted to bring to the bailiffs.

Sanderson sued the "Shakespeare in Love" star for negligence in 2019. He has claimed that the collision left him with four broken ribs and a traumatic brain injury.

The trial is centered around the dueling negligence claims, where Sanderson is seeking $3 million in damages and Paltrow is seeking $1.

A ski instructor teaching Paltrow's son at the scene of the collision and the Deer Valley Resort were originally included as defendants by Sanderson. But a Utah judge removed them prior to the trial citing a lack of evidence implicating them.

On Tuesday, Greg Ramone, an eyewitness and skiing acquaintance of Sanderson, testified and said that he witnessed Paltrow "slam" into Sanderson's back in 2016, hitting him "very hard" and leaving him unconscious.

Sanderson's daughter Polly Sanderson Graham testified on Thursday, claiming that her father suffered a brain injury during the crash that left him permanently changed. Sanderson himself is expected to testify on Thursday, and Paltrow will also take the stand during the trial.

Paltrow's teenage son Moses, who was skiing with Paltrow during the collision, is also expected to take the stand during the trial.
