Erin Andrews Awarded $55 Million in Peep Hole Lawsuit Against Hotel Chain
By Jason McIntyre
Erin Andrews, the Fox Sports sideline reporter who was illegally recorded naked in a hotel room in 2008, just won a $55 million verdict against West End Hotel Partners, which operates the Nashville Marriott.
Andrews was seeking $75 million after a stalker named Michael David Barrett asked the hotel for a room next to hers, then altered the peepholes in her door to shoot naked videos of her. Barrett then put the videos on the internet.
