Erin Andrews
Erin Andrews is demanding $75 million in damages from Marriott International. The 37-year-old broadcaster has become against the hotel company for secretly taping her nude through a hotel room’s peephole. The court documents also stated additional costs and interest “and any other costs this Court deems fair.”
The eight-figure amount was disclosed in a filing Tuesday, October 12 in Circuit Court in Nashville. Andrews accused Marriott and Michael David Barrett of negligence and invasion of privacy in the suit, which was originally filed in 2011. Barrett also taped her nude footage.
In her lawsuit, Andrews alleged that Nashville Marriott workers helped facilitate Barrett’s videotaping by disclosing that she was a guest at the hotel, he also knew her room number, and complying with Barrett’s request to be placed in the room next door to her.
Barrett eventually pleaded guilty to interstate stalking and was sentenced to two and a half years in prison in 2010, but he was never exposed. Andrews was ordered to specify the amount of damages after attorneys argued that her claims were “unreasonably vague and ambiguous”. A trial is set for February and is expected to take 10 days.
At the time of the taping, Andrews was working for ESPN. She is now working as a news reporter. Her gig as the co-host of “Dancing with the Stars” goes to Leah Remini as she takes a leave from the show during The World Series.
