Erin Andrews: I’ll never escape peephole hell
  • 7 years ago
FOX sideline reporter Erin Andrews says she's still dealing with the horror of being preyed upon by a stalker who filmed her in a hotel room. Michael Barrett filmed Andrews while she was naked in a room at the Nashville Marriott in 2008 after doctoring a peephole, and shared the video on the internet. He pleaded guilty in 2009 to stalking Andrews and was sentenced to 30 months in prison. Last year, Andrews was awarded nearly $55 million in damages after she sued the owner of the Nashville Marriott. It’s shaped who I am as a person. It messed with my family. It hurt my mum and dad so bad, and it still does. And you don’t get any sort of pass for doing that. All I wanted to do is be respected, be the girl who loves sports, and now I’m the girl with the scandal. It’s embarrassing. It’s on the internet now. And I’ve been told it’s going to be on the internet until I die.
