YoloinOhio Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 (edited) This finally went to trial over last couple weeks... She sued for 75 mill and got 55. For nude videos taken of her by a stalker through a peephole. Marriott let the guy book the room next to her even after he asked where she was staying and they told him. http://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/jury-awards-erin-andrews-55-million-over-nude-video-n533526 Edited March 8, 2016 by YoloinOhio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck seeing that cash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eball Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Good for Erin. Half the settlement coming from the corporate defendant so she'll see a good chunk of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eball Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 What's the stalker do ? He have a 260.00 savings balance ? It just becomes an uncollectable judgment. If she files the paperwork it prevents him from buying a house, getting a loan, etc. I'm guessing she'll probably let it go and not ruin the guy financially -- he's already serving time. She'll collect a tidy sum from the deep pocket defendant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dib Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 I know I'm going to burn for this but I think she played the jury like a violin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Hindsight Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 whether she did or didn't she was wronged. Marriott told the guy her room #, big no-no. Yup. I hadnt heard much about this case before the last few weeks. Guy was clearly wrong and for the hotel to give a room number? I'd be pissed if someone did that.

Best Player Available Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Good for Erin. Half the settlement coming from the corporate defendant so she'll see a good chunk of it. Not according to some TMZ says it best. The douchebag will never pay a penny The hotel will appeal putting her at risk if and they can prove the settlement is exssesive. There was zero physical Pain just emotional. . Which her lawyers will want arbitration. at the risk of losing it all. They would except. 20 million. Of which after legal fees leaves her with 11 M. This is a taxable award. Net? 6 Million. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Acantha Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 whether she did or didn't she was wronged. Marriott told the guy her room #, big no-no. I know that it's probably not THAT big of an issue to a company like Marriott, but while I agree it was a really stupid move by the employee, I have a hard time believing it was a $25M+ stupid move. It's not like the guy helped set up the camera. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not everyone feels this way. Edit: and by "this way" I mean a desire to completely ruin someone's life after they have already faced criminal penalties.

Sorry, can't feel sorry for him. It's not like he accidentally did something wrong. He planned to invade her privacy and release it to the world. F him.

KD in CA Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 I know I'm going to burn for this but I think she played the jury like a violin. So do I, but that doesn't mean she didn't deserve the award and that Marriott didn't deserve a major slap. How the !@#$ does a hotel allow you ask if a specific person (and a celeb to boot) is staying at the hotel and then accommodate a request to have the room next door? That was indefensible. Why would she let him off? After what he did, I think she makes his life as miserable as possible, and he deserves it. Agreed. She can have his wages garnished forever. I hope she does.

Gugny Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Could she sue ESPN for this: "Because there wasn't an arrest, because we didn't know where this happened, my bosses at ESPN told me, 'Before you go back on-air for college football, we need you to give us a sit-down interview,'" she said. "That was the only way I was going to be allowed back." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 How does she deserve $55M for this? I'd say even $5M would be a stretch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gugny Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 How does she deserve $55M for this? I'd say even $5M would be a stretch. She's young. She has her whole life/career ahead of her. It was a sickeningly popular opinion that she was behind this - as in - she helped to coordinate it as her contract with ESPN was coming to an end. In addition to the mental, emotional affects from the invasion of privacy this has likely had on her, her career was (still could be) jeopardized.

eball Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 I know I'm going to burn for this but I think she played the jury like a violin. Of course she did. But did you read about what she does now when she stays at a hotel (which is all the time)? It's absurd, and all because of this unbelievable breach of privacy. Cases like this are always interesting to me because you'll have your "she got HOW much for that?" crowd and your "the guy should burn in hell" crowd. Bottom line -- it is very difficult to place a dollar value on something like this, but it has to be significant enough that (particularly for the corporate defendant) it is a strong deterrent and motivator to change policy. Is it ridiculous that the dude has a 28M judgment against him? Yes. But he is serving jail time. I don't think Erin wants money out of that guy -- he got what he deserved. She wants money from the corporation that should have known better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She arguably became more famous after the incident. How many other sideline reporters were on Dancing with the Stars? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
