Erin Andrews is nude! ... And it's hard to enjoy

[DeToxRox]

Basically there are video out there of Andrews in a hotel room that someone shot through a peep hole. All I heard originally was Erin Andrews nude, so I was pumped, but it sucks it happened this way. It's just too hard to enjoy.

Should be interesting how it plays out.

LOS ANGELES, July 17, 2009 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ ----With respect to recent Internet postings of Erin Andrews, she has authorized her attorney, Marshall B. Grossman of Bingham McCutchen LLP, to issue the following statement:

"While alone in the privacy of her hotel room, Erin Andrews was surreptitiously videotaped without her knowledge or consent. She was the victim of a crime and is taking action to protect herself and help ensure that others are not similarly violated in the future. Although the perpetrator or perpetrators of this criminal act have not yet been identified, when they are identified she intends to bring both civil and criminal charges against them and against anyone who has published the material. We request respect of Erin's privacy at this time, while she and her representatives are working with the authorities."

[Big Fo]

Oh shit it really was her

[Radii]

I certainly cannot say I didn't enjoy it, but yeah.

[sovereignstar]

My night just got totally sidetracked.

[DeToxRox]

I mean, it was good stuff, but it wasn't like a porn tape where any celebrity runs the risk of it being leaked, this was just some creepy dude with a video camera unbeknown to her. That blows. Still hot though.

[Schmidty]

I have no idea where you guys are finding this. I feel bad even looking for it, since I don't usually look at stuff like that - but I'm morbidly curious.

Hah, same here. I wish I had some internet skills. Cough help.

[Schmidty]

Actually, I didn't find a video, but I found a picture, and she totally isn't the girl I was thinking of. I thought it was that hot chick that does reporting during Big Ten games. Erin....Something-else?

Actually, maybe it's not just the Big Ten, but I swear her name starts with Erin.

[Jas_lov]

Very creepy video through the peephole in the door. That doesn't mean I didn't watch it though. Good for us, sucks for her.

[Schmidty]

Actually, maybe it's not just the Big Ten, but I swear her name starts with Erin.

Oh wait!!!

It is the chick!!. I found a different picture, and it's her. Still no video though. I don't care though. I guess.

[Big Fo]

What's with the mini-squats as she curls her hair?

[RainMaker]

I don't know what's creepier, guys who will follow her around taking videos through peepholes or the fact she has the power to get billion dollar companies like Google to manually scrub their search results of the event.

As someone who works in that industry, I'm just amazed Google did so much for a relatively minor celebrity.

[Neuqua]

Ok, that is kinda wrong.

This is what I was just discussing with a friend of mine. I'm half expecting to get a letter in the mail for disney threatening lawsuit for having seen it.

[zums]

for the record this was def not hard for me to enjoy

[JetsIn06]

By far one of the most overrated girls ever.

[sovereignstar]

I just figured out how to save them. I'm not going to be single for awhile now. G'nite.

[dervack]

I just read an article that said the video has been up for 4 months, yet is getting all this attention now. As if someone wanted to spread it around for publicity. Like, maybe someone who wanted too break into hollywood.

I had no trouble finding it with Google. A name, a video search, and safe search off makes some searches very easy. BTW, these are four months old, weird it took so long for it to blow up on the internets.

[Cringer]

I just figured out how to save them. I'm not going to be single for awhile now. G'nite.

If you install Real Player they have an option that lets you save just about any video you come across on the internet, it's pretty nice. You just hover over the video and a little option pops up on the top right side of the video to download it. Of course you have to be in Windows for that and I am not right now.

[RainMaker]

Finally found it. They removed the cache on all the sites that were ranked high (never seen that before) as well as scrubbed the Google news results to eliminate many of the stories.

Anyways, the story and video seem fishy to me. You can't tell if it's her at all. The video has apparently been up on an unknown porn site for months. If it was someone who stalked her and got the video, they'd have sent it to a larger site and gotten the publicity. Not put it up on some tiny porn site. It's also looks more like something made for a voyeur porn site. I mean how many girls do their hair completely nude while standing in a direct line of the keyhole.

The press release from her attorney is on PRNewswire. It's a site where anyone can post a press release on their own. I could say I'm the pope in one and it will get through. If the lawyer is going to release something, why wouldn't he go through the normal routes and get it on some major media outlets? Why rely on a little known online PR service that doens't have great syndication.

My guess is that it's not her. That ESPN/Disney overreacted and sent out letters demanding it be pulled. The blogs shit their pants thinking that ESPN/Disney was giving it legitimacy and some savvy prankster sent out a PR on PRNewswire to troll the everyone.

[SirFozzie]

If I hadn't known the situation, yeah, Erin Andrews, nekkid as a jaybird, WOOHOO!

Since it was filmed without her knowing, dude, that's one step away from rape. Not cool. I have no interest in watching it.

Here is the thing though, this didn't blow up for everyone to know about until AFTER ESPN tried to get them taken down. After four months of no one really caring, and no way of really knowing it's her, then why not just ignore it and deny it if it ever became more public (on the level it is now). Also, not sure where you got the "unknown porn site" from, as I read and see that they have been on Dailymotion for 4 months, hardly an unknown porn site.

My guess is it's her, though I gues for her sake I hope it's not.

I do feel bad for the woman, it's a crappy thing to do to someone. It would probably be hard to ignore like I suggested above though if you knew it was you. I guess at that point maybe it's better to some people to have more people see you naked and be able to go after the guys who did it.

[Dr. Sak]

Dammit this is what I get for going to bed early! Now I cant find any of the pictures.

[Subby]

They are still on google video.

I have a hard time believing this is anything but some creepy guy filming someone through a peephole and posting it. I wouldn't even be surprised if he didn't know who he was filming. If you look at some of the similar videos on google video there are others in the "peephole" style.

And I feel really bad for her.

[PurdueBrad]

I definitely feel bad for her (although it didn't stop me from finding/watching it) but I have to say, given that it has been out there so long w/ little fanfare, the lawyers really did her a disservice. Had I not known who I was watching, I would've just thought, "hey, that's a hot blonde chick." In fact, Erin Andrews wouldn't have been my first guess at who it was (would've probably guessed Bridget from The Girls Next Door show). The drama that the lawyer involvement has created had to have sent tons of people (including me) out looking for it.

[PilotMan]

Don't you think that if it wasn't her, that she wouldn't really care? Why have lawyers all over it?

[Dr. Sak]

Wow

[rowech]

So how easy will it be to track down

1. Who originally posted the video?
2. Who originally sent the video?

This stuff happens all the time and I wonder if it's just pretty much the celebs are screwed when it comes to stuff like this.

[PurdueBrad]

Don't you think that if it wasn't her, that she wouldn't really care? Why have lawyers all over it?

And that was kind of my point. This has now blown up from a complete non-story/on-line urban legend basically into a "yes, that's me" as every male now scrambles to find it. The lawyers, probably at Disney's or Andrew's behest, have blown this into an issue when it could've just faded away.

[QuikSand]

Not completely inconceivable that her public statement (and implicit verification) was at least partially engineered to generate more interest.

[panerd]

OK, I am usually pretty good at stuff like this, all I am getting is spam and probably have a couple of viruses to boot.

Can someone please PM me in the right direction. Yes I am a sick man and will probably feel dirty after watching this. But that is what my friends said after the first visit to the whorehouse.:)

[ThunderingHERD]

This video is degrading, disgusting, and, frankly, a little horrifying. I was barely able to jack to it.

[Noop]

I bet she is a beast in the sack.

hahahahahahahaahahahahahaah SHUT THE FUCK UP PERVERT

[Karlifornia]

I watched all the vids yesterday. She's got an awesome body, and anyone who is involved with her should be having quite a time. They weren't enough for me to really take care of myself, sadly. Maybe if I was 15, or this was my first day on the internet.

[Karlifornia]

I just read an article that said the video has been up for 4 months, yet is getting all this attention now. As if someone wanted to spread it around for publicity. Like, maybe someone who wanted too break into hollywood.

If you're going to break into Hollywood, doing some clandestine videotaping of Erin Andrews will not work. You may break into YouTube, or more likely, Leavenworth.

I wasn't talking about the cameraman.

[Karlifornia]

I wasn't talking about the cameraman.

Oh, Erin Andrews, you meant? Well, good luck to her on that. I guess it earned Pamela Anderson what? Barb Wire?

If you're right, that's just kind of sad on her part. You'd think with her connections, beauty, and (seeming) intelligence, she could break out without having a lackey film her in the buff.

[Maple Leafs]

Just so I'm clear, people think that Erin Andrews (who I don't think has ever so much as posed in a bathing suit even though she has an army of internet fans) suddenly decided to film herself naked, leave it online for four months, then get her lawyers to remove all traces of it as soon as there was any publicity?

That makes sense to you? Really?

[Capital]

I don't believe it's on Google Video anymore.

[Tigercat]

What kinda randomness is that?

Well considering she didn't film it herself, as the camera was obviously being moved by someone on the other side of the peep hole, of course that doesn't make sense to anyone.

[larnott]

I don't believe it's on Google Video anymore.

The 42 second clip still is.

Not quite what I'm saying. However, this video has been out there for 4 months with not a peep out of anybody regarding it. All of a sudden, after her appearance at the ESPY awards on Wednesday, wearing a dress worn by quite a few starlets over the past couple years, the timing of the lawyers asking that it be removed, all of a sudden, is alarming. Why did this website suddenly break the news of this video, 4 months late? Did someone point them to the video? And I'm not saying it was Andrews' people doing it, but with the rise in popularity of people who star in sex tapes becoming celebrities, it does seem a bit, suspicious. In my opinion.

[lynchjm24]

If someone would be so kind as to PM me a link I'd appreciate it. All this searching is killing me. Seems I'm too late to the party.

[Big Fo]

At this point you're better off finding a torrent.

[lynchjm24]

I'm sort of glad I'm old enough to not know what that means.

[cuervo72]

What is the shelf life for sideline reporters? EA is hot now. Is she able to capitalize on that with ESPN/Disney? I'd have to think that working for them is pretty restrictive. I'm not sure exactly what else she could do beyond posing for a few "lad mags" and maybe hosting something like Poker After Dark, but how long would she stick with the college football gig?

That said, I think the possibility that there is any plan behind the scenes to spin this for her benefit is pretty remote. Not impossible, but remote.

[Big Fo]

I'm sort of glad I'm old enough to not know what that means.

It's hard to explain. Here is the wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BitTorrent_protocol)explaination.

But you could probably download a program, install it, run a search, and see what you want to see quicker than web search engines because ESPN got these people to take the videos down pretty quickly.

[Galaril]

yup I missed this until now also and as far as I can see all the videos of it are down and only some sites are advertising nthey have it so probbaly not going there to check it out and get infected with god only knows what trojan or malware.

A good point.

[mauchow]

With the database error, my post is gone. All I gathered was that it does seem worth seeing. It was a five minute video. Couple of ass grabs to check herself out. Heh.

[kingfc22]

Missed this thread, but saw the blurb about it on AOL.

Yea, she's hot and I agree with whoever said "what's with the squats".

[Galaril]

never saw the video is she getting it one with someone or just alone walking around nude?

[JeeberD]

Found the video in no time flat today, sometimes it pays to know where the pervs hang out.

[JeeberD]

Dola-

Galaril, she's primarily doing her hair in the nude, but there's some walking around. She's completely alone...

[Galaril]

Yeah that is a little creepy.

[Bigsmooth]

Not hard to enjoy, at all. She's stacked. That peephole seems huge by the way. I kept expecting her to look over and notice the damn hole. Well done by the Hotel staff, assuming it's an inside job.

[Cringer]

Well done? I have a much smaller moral soap box then most around here, but I would jump on it for this. Secretly recording people to catch them nude is not something I would give a "job well done" to. If she were planning to blow up a building nude, then fine, but just being nude no. Complete invasion of privacy, and if it was "hotel staff" I hope the hotel gets screwed in the end because that is even worse to me then just some random guy sneeking upskirt shots.

Yeah, there's that too. To me, the staff doing it makes it less creepy. To each his own...and what not.

[hhiipp]

This sort of thing is what creeps me out about staying in a hotel because I know there has been some weird stuff I've done nekkid.. hopefully they saw my awesome body and decided to destroy the tapes.

[RendeR]

See I don't much care if they watch, if they're so sad and pathetic that watching a 40 yr old fat man run around naked is entertaining then I feel sorry for them.

[I. J. Reilly]

Jesus, what the hell do you guys do in hotels? I pretty much watch sportscenter for half an hour then fall asleep.

EA also doesn't need this as a publicity stunt to try to break through to the mass media. She's been trying to get on "Dancing with the Stars" for a while and even talked to the people behind it. It's mostly them saying yes to it and handling her scheduling, ie she can't do the fall one. It's a huge no-brainer since it involves ABC and ESPN.

[Pumpy Tudors]

I checked my email in an Orlando hotel room last week, but I'm pretty sure I was wearing clothes at the time. I'm not entirely sure. I would suggest asking the people in the pool area who could see through my window. They might remember better than I do. Oh, Erin Andrews was in the room, too, but she was hiding in the drapes and spying on people in the pool. She's not that innocent her damn self, you know.

[Dr. Sak]

She was there to bring Pumpy his toothbrush.

SHE WAS GIVING ME THE BUSINESS

[Draft Dodger]

[MikeVic]

I don't get ESPN, so I only really know about her from whatever pics you guys have posted on her before. She's hot, but if I saw her on the cast list for Dancing with the Stars, it wouldn't make me want to watch it any more or less. Now that I've see these videos, I'd watch the season with her in it. IF these videos are arranged, then I'd say they accomplished their goal, at least with me. If these videos are a legitimate peeping thing, then it's still really wrong.

[cuervo72]

I think it's conjecture more than fact.

[QuikSand]

Turn. For. Worse.

[MikeVic]

I meant peeping!!

[cuervo72]

I've heard it several times now that folks analyzing things have found several inconsistencies that point to things being from at least two different hotels. TMZ was latest to post this.

I've heard it too, but that doesn't mean it's correct (they're regular CSIs over there at TMZ, right?)

It's possible. It's also possible that if this was a regular setup (not just a guy filming EA, but a guy who filmed multiple women using the same method) that shots could have been taken from multiple peepholes.

[Fidatelo]

If these videos are a legitimate peeping thing, then it's still really wrong.

Upon reading this, Ashley McIsaac got all excited before he realised that it was Erin, not Aaron. Now he's just kind of excited.

Based on the news that these videos did not happen in the same hotels, at this point, it's either someone working for ESPN or as I said, it's all arranged. Count me in the arranged camp.

Or just a couple that is creating some voyeur porn to upload on the web. The girl just happened to look like Erin Andrews and some porn site operator noticed it.

[fantom1979]

Pretty sure its her

Andrews' attorney, Marshall Grossman, confirmed Tuesday the video posted on the Internet shows the 31-year-old reporter. He said she decided to confirm it "to put an end to rumor and speculation and to put the perpetrator and those who are complicit on notice that they act at their peril."

Considering that ESPN is now on the record as assisting authorities determine whether it was an inside job, if it was arranged then it wasn't approved at the top of ESPN. "In conjunction with Erin's attorneys and appropriate authorities, we are exploring all possibilities," said ESPN spokesman Josh Krulewitz. "

ESPN assisting Andrews video investigators *| ajc.com (http://www.ajc.com/sports/espn-assisting-andrews-video-97854.html?cxntlid=homepage_tab_newstab)

The story will probably get a little more play locally here than some other markets I imagine simply because Andrews lives in Atlanta.

edit to add: Meanwhile, Lord knows I'm not the most sympathetic guy in the world but there's a quote in that story that kind of chapped me a little bit.
"Not everyone is so sympathetic. Veteran sportswriter Christine Brennan, posting on Twitter, said, “Andrews incident is bad, but to add perspective: there are 100s of women sports journalists who have never had this happen to them.” "

Yes Mzzzzz. Brennan there are. But how many other women sports journalists could any fan pick out of a police lineup, much less recognize on video of any kind? I'm pretty damned sure that Mzzzzz. Brennan isn't one of them except in the vaguest sense (since her column was the origin of the ridiculous flap about membership at Augusta National) and no matter how many awards she's won for her thrilling writing on women's figure skating this sounds like pretty sour grapes from a 50 year old that can't stand the fact that virtually no mainstream sports fan would know who the fuck she is nor give a damn if they did.

Based on the news that these videos did not happen in the same hotels, at this point, it's either someone working for ESPN or as I said, it's all arranged. Count me in the arranged camp.

They not teach Logic 101 at your school? :devil:

You want to be become more popular so you set up to be shot naked, get it online, and let it sit there for four months?

You arrange for a peeping tom video of yourself to help you become a bigger star when you've already made inroads through legit means to be on one of the biggest TV shows currently out there?

You get somebody to take the bullet of civil and criminal charges being brought against them in some screwed up false hope it helps you become a bigger star?

Yeah, all of that makes total sense. Somebody who knows her schedule/works with her is the person behind it.

Good news, arrest has been made.

"Barrett had “specifically requested’’ a hotel room next to Andrews, the complaint said."

so easy...

WTF? Do hotels usually grant requests like that?

[flere-imsaho]

I would imagine that he specifically requested a specific room number which yes, is a request often made, often by business travelers.

[molson]

WTF? Do hotels usually grant requests like that?

I'm guessing he did a little spying and asked for "room 410", that he knew to be next to Andrews. I doubt he asked for "the room next to Erin Andrews please". Though, anything's possible.

[Passacaglia]

Yay, I've got a brush with celebrity over here! Apparently the stalker is some VP for my company, and works in my building. I didn't see them, but I heard there were FBI agents here looking into his travel expenses or something. I'll keep y'all posted.

[flere-imsaho]

When I was traveling for business I often tried to get the same room. Since pretty much every hallway looks the same it's pretty annoying to go out the door in the morning and be completely turned around from where you think you are. Of course, in a fire, being turned around like that could be a real problem.

Plus, and this happened to me as well, if you stay in the same hotel enough but keep changing rooms (& floors) you sometimes end up hunting for your room, or even the right floor, because you can't remember where you are this time.

All of this is easily solved by yourself, of course, but hotels want to be accommodating (no pun intended) to business travelers and know that giving them a room they request for these reasons goes a long way towards building goodwill.

You know how offices do that thing like sending around an email like "As many of you know, Phyllis has been out with the flu all weeks, so we are getting together a goodie/feel-better basket for her and her family . . . "

You need to do the same thing: "As many of you know, James has been arrested by federal agents for interstate stalking. Even if he manages to avoid jail time he probably won't be able to travel or use the internet for quite a while, which is a big burden for an interstate stalker. I am thinking of making a goodie basket/good luck in prison basket for him, and will leave a donation box in the break room. . . ."

Several months back, we had a cute 24 year old girl in our group who was arrested and jailed for running a prostitution ring with 20 girls on the internet in the KC area. Needless to say, the water cooler chats were pretty interesting over the next few weeks.

[flounder]

According to this blog post (http://legalblogwatch.typepad.com/legal_blog_watch/2009/10/will-erin-andrews-sue-marriott-ramada.html), the FBI affidavit states that the guy did not ask for a specific room number, just a room next to Erin Andrews. The Marriott reservation computer even had a note reading ""GST RQST TO RM NXT TO [Andrews]."

[JonInMiddleGA]

If that's accurate, she may not have to work much longer, she ought to own a decent chunk of Marriott.

[Ronnie Dobbs2]

Seriously. And how does he successfully alter the peephole with a hacksaw so that he can do the taping in two different hotels?

[RomaGoth]

It was an inside job!!!!

[flere-imsaho]

:+1:

[TroyF]

No doubt about it. She's going to get one hell of a chunk of change. The Marriott in that case should consider itself lucky to pay it too. If she'd have been raped or killed by this guy, the fallout would have lasted for years.

I watched all the vids yesterday. She's got an awesome body, and anyone who is involved with her should be having quite a time. They weren't enough for me to really take care of myself, sadly. Maybe if I was 15, or this was my first day on the internet.

its a nice pregame, though

It's already been over two years since this happened? Dear lord.

Wonder if it was the Erin Andrews video he was watching while he Masturbated.

[Subby]

Christine Brennan mentioned that this kind of stuff only happens to Erin Andrews. #feministsunite

If masturbating behind an ipad on a plane while sitting next to some hot chick is wrong I don't even know what's right anymore.

Is it just me or has Erin Andrews been sort of downplayed now at ESPN?

I just found a link to a John Clayton peephole video. :(

So ugly: Erin Andrews: ESPN Forced Me To Go On TV And Talk About My Stalker (http://deadspin.com/erin-andrews-espn-forced-me-to-go-on-tv-and-talk-about-1762058985)

I can't even imagine what it feels like to be stalked like this, and I imagine few men do.

[Fonzie]

How can an employer compel an employee to publicly discuss such a thing? She's a public figure, I know, and we only have Erin's side of the story here, but the most optimistic conclusion I'm able to reach from her testimony is that this seems incredibly insensitive on ESPN's part.

[Suicane75]

Nothing that comes out of Bristol should be surprising. At this point it wouldn't shock me to find out they were holding mascot gangbangs in the basement.

This X 1000. I make it a point to not watch that fucking channel.

[PilotMan]

Does anyone think she is going to win this?

[Solecismic]

She has support from superdelegates and she's up 20 in the polls.

Usually, I'd say no on something like that, but a note on the reservations system saying put the creep in the room next to Erin Andrews? The defense has been brutal, saying her career benefited from it, but it's not like she has ever gone that route. I'm surprised the hotel didn't settle.

[PilotMan]

I don't think it's hurt nor helped it. I think she has shown great strength to put it behind her and have the success that she has. Having said that, I wonder if she turned down any offers to settle? I have to think that the reason that the hotel didn't settle is that they have to believe their case is strong.

[Suicane75]

I hope she wins. Just not a staggering amount. 1 or 2 Million seems about right.

[stevew]

I really have no idea who she'd actually collect from. The actual people she's suing can't have enough money to pay 75M

[EagleFan]

Maybe the judge will make them be her butlers.

[flere-imsaho]

Marriott doesn't have $75M?

The Marriott Corporation was dismissed from the suit. The lawsuit is against that particular hotel.

Man, there were some really bad takes on the first page of this thread.

[Logan]

Jury awarded $55 million to Andrews. Will be interesting to see if it holds up.

[cartman]

She's getting a hotel. The jury awarded her $55 million.

[Logan]

Seems like $28 million of it was a judgment against the guy himself. So that money is gone...

[flere-imsaho]

The judge usually adjusts the awards too, right?

[albionmoonlight]

So "She Loooveed being stalked" turns out not to be a great legal defense.

[flere-imsaho]

Man, there were some really bad takes on the first page of this thread.

We're all 7 years older and, frankly, it kind of shows.

[SirFozzie]

Interesting thing is the Hotel may be on the hook for the whole $55 million, despite only being found 49% liable:

The Hotel Defendants May Owe Erin Andrews the Full $55M (http://thewhitebronco.com/2016/03/the-hotel-defendants-owe-erin-andrews-the-full-55m/)

[QuikSand]

Joint and several liability is a weird rule. It's the law here in Maryland, but we don't have comparative fault, like Tennessee. It makes a lot less sense with both in place.

[MizzouRah]

Next time I stay at a hotel, please watch me nude while I recite poems. :)

[Drake]

OK

[MizzouRah]

OK

I'm suing you.. see you in court! :D

[djsatu]

From 75 M down to around 5-6 M.

[Suicane75]

$55 Million to perv on Erin Andrews. How do you think that correlates to, say, Jodie Sweeten? $12 Million maybe? Also, how do you start a GoFundMe thingy?
