Mar 05, 2016 · Her attorney, Bruce Broillet, maintained that the owners and operators of the Nashville Marriott were at fault for not keeping the sportscaster safe when she was a guest. "This has to be our home away from home," Broillet said of hotels. "We turn ourselves over to them and their protection."
Police say Barrett made as many as eight separate videos and then posted them on the Internet starting in July.
"My last name is Andrews. I'm all over the news right now," she told the 911 operator. "I'm the girl that was videotaped without her knowing, without her clothes on in the hotel. ... They're looking at me through my window."

The Andrews verdict has implications not just for the hospitality industry, but for future cases involving sexual harassment, premises liability, and cybersecurity. The takeaway is that a corporate defendant must not discount the emotional, deeply moral nature of an invasion of privacy. If a defendant sends the message that the only injuries ...
awarded sportscaster Erin Andrews $55 million over a 2008 stalking incident and subsequent release of a “peeping tom” video by her stalker, Michael Barrett. Andrews claimed that the owners and management of Windsor Hotel Capital and West End Hotel Partners (the two corporate entities who owned and operated the Nashville Marriott hotel where the incident occurred) were negligent because they told Barrett that Andrews was staying at the hotel and allowed him to book a room next door without notifying her of the request; and that she suffered (and continues to suffer) from emotional distress as a result of the invasion of privacy (the video has received over 17 million views online). The hotel defendants argued that Barrett was solely responsible for the act and there was no way the hotel could have anticipated it; and that Andrews’s financial and professional success showed she had not been seriously harmed by the incident.
Spouse (s) Jarret Stoll. ​. ( m. 2017) ​. Erin Jill Andrews (born May 4, 1978) is an American sportscaster, television personality, and actress. She rose to prominence as a correspondent on the American cable sports channel ESPN after joining the network in 2004.
Andrews became a spokesperson for the Kraft Foods Huddle to Fight Hunger campaign in 2010, which aimed to raise US$2.86 million for Feeding America. In October 2011, Erin Andrews teamed up with StubHub, the world's largest online ticket marketplace, to launch a new national campaign called Girls Night Out.
In October 2015, Andrews filed a complaint against the Nashville Marriott and Barrett for $75 million. Jury selection for the hearing began on February 22, 2016. On March 7, 2016, after a two-week trial, the jury awarded Andrews $55 million.
He served his sentence at the Seattle Community Corrections and was released on July 3, 2012. Andrews sued Barrett, Marriott International, Radisson Hotels, and five other entities for negligence and invasion of privacy in connection with the secret videotaping.
Andrews was born in Lewiston, Maine, to Paula Andrews, a teacher, and Steven Andrews, a broadcast journalist. Her family moved to San Antonio, Texas when she was 5 years old, and then to Valrico, Florida 18 months later, when her father, a six-time Emmy Award –winner, began working as an investigative reporter for NBC affiliate WFLA-TV.
In 2008, Michael David Barrett, then 46, filmed Andrews in her hotel room through peepholes at the Nashville Marriott adjacent to Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee, and the Radisson Airport Hotel in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
Sports reporter and former Dancing with the Stars host Erin Andrews has been in front of the camera in one form or another for more than 15 years. She earned a bachelor of arts degree in telecommunications from the University of Florida in 2000 and went on to become the go-to sideline reporter for Fox NFL. While her career is marked by hard work, it's also littered with bizarre scandals, arrests, a stalking case, some serious dancing, and a whole lot of salty people. Here's the play-by-play on Andrews' personal and professional life.
Erin Andrews' father, Steve Andrews (above), is a six-time Emmy-winning investigative reporter for NBC affiliate WFLA-TV out of Tampa, Fla. Erin told South Tampa Magazine that he watches every game she covers. "He'll TiVo all my games," she said, "and if he can't stay up late and watch them, he'll wake up early the next morning and watch the rest."
During her interview with Health, Erin Andrews admitted that she hid her cancer diagnosis because it came on the heels of her trial over the stalking video, and she didn't want to make any more waves with her male colleagues.
During her trial, she testified: "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 a sit-down interview.'" Andrews also testified that ESPN "highly" recommended she appear on ABC's Good Morning America, which shares parent company Disney. She chose to sit down with Oprah Winfrey instead.
3, 2014, veteran NFL correspondent Pam Oliver penned an open letter to Essence, expressing sadness and humiliation over losing her job as a primetime sideline reporter to Erin Andrews. Fox Sports reportedly told Oliver that its fledgling sub-network, FS1, could use a veteran like Oliver to build up its credibility, but to Oliver, the shift felt like a passive-aggressive way of saying she was too old aesthetically for the big leagues.
In 2018, around a year- and-a- half after her diagnosis, Erin Andrews was finally declared cervical cancer-free. She recounted to InStyle the moment backstage on the set of Dancing with the Stars when she received the joyous news. "I thought, 'Oh God, of course this is going to happen when I'm trying to get into a pair of spanks [sic] and some sequin number on a Monday,'" she told the magazine. "Everyone on my team knew that I was waiting [for the call from her oncologist], and when I saw the number calling, I put it on speakerphone. The doctor said, 'You're good to go, and I'll see you in six months for a checkup,' and it was a ton of relief."
In July 2020, ABC shocked Dancing with the Stars fans when it announced that Erin Andrews, along with co-host Tom Bergeron, would not return for the 29th season of the dance competition reality show. According to People, however, the studio was adamant in its official statement that the hosts' twin exits were nothing personal, attributing them to "a new creative direction" for the long-running series. ABC said of Andrews' departure, "Fans have been rooting for her since she originally competed as a contestant back in 2010, and her signature sense of humor has become a hallmark of the show."
Much has been made about the $55 million verdict awarded to Erin Andrews -- that it's not enough, that it is too much money, that she will not be able to collect the money, that the Nashville Marriott will appeal the verdict -- but in my opinion, it's about justice for Erin and for other victims who have been stalked, who have had their privacy invaded and who have been preyed upon by those who post stolen moments/pictures/videos on the internet or who post media meant to be kept private, to the internet, without consent, for revenge or for attention, or for whatever the reason.
The attorneys in this case were supposed to appear before the judge today to argue the issue of joint and several liability - where the hotel could potentially be responsible for the full $55 million damages award. They reached a settlement. The amount is confidential. It is not unusual to have a confidentiality provision in any settlement.
