Erin Andrews - Man I feel bad for her

I was just on Google news and saw some articles about her being filmed while naked in a hotel room. Man alive that's some kind of sickness! She's apparently mighty pissed off about it (obviously) and hopefully has a good lawyer to help prosecute whomever made the tape. I had never hear of her before, and now I do because of this type of celebrity; man what a shame.

I would be some kind of pissed if this had happened to someone I loved.

My "semi-rant" is now over.

Since I don't believe in convicting someone by media, I would like a copy of the video to judge for myself. For the sake of fairness, that is.

I have some inkling of why someone would risk jail time for a glimpse.....

Very nice looking young woman.

I was looking and cannot find a link any where. I know I was not the only one on here who was looking either. Anyone else have luck? I struck out.

The stuff got pulled off the Internet...apparently she found out about the stuff when someone from France spilled the beans...apparently the stuff was posted over there...

Problem is, she had the curtains open...not that being in a skyscraper some 40-stories above the clouds means you are immune to being able to prance around, naked as a Jaybird, in your hotel room with impunity...but if someone has a camera...and you have the birthday suit all buffed up and shiney ...all bets are off...but the crap shouldn't have been posted on the I...

Now, if the camera was hidden in the room, then the hotel is in some deep squeezings...plus, whoever posted the stuff might have a problem...it depends on the way the laws of "I" have progressed concerning photos being posted w/o your consent...

Stay tuned...

No. The problem is there's a pervert stalking her to multiple hotels.

from http://www.abcnews.go.com/GMA/Story?id=8151491&page=2

"The grainy images shot through what appears to be a makeshift hole in a wall, show Andrews undressing and appearing nude in an unknown hotel room, apparently unaware that she is being filmed.

The Web site TMZ.com has viewed several pieces of footage and surmised there are six separate clips circulating online, four filmed at one hotel and two from a second.

According to the site, the first set of videos was filmed through a round hole, and the second set filmed through a jagged hole. There is reportedly different furniture in each of the rooms."


And I apologize for my original inappropriate comments above. This is serious.

No problem...apology accepted, but not deserved. I just walk into the room when the story manages to be about 1/2 over and for some unexplained reason, the media is using "some shot" that looks like it's coming from across the way from another building, it's being shot at a downward angle and it shows some "chick" walking around inside her "apartment/room" with, maybe, a blouse on and that's it...

If they're using a "generic shot" for this news piece on Ms. Andrews, they're doing their viewers a poor job of reporting the story...altogether.

They're using a "library shot" to tell the story...when in fact, it sounds like (from your POV) that the whole thing was a "peephole" job to begin with. Not some "Shot-Out-The-Window-Across-The-Way" handicam voyeuristic experience...

If that's the case...I think she and her gaggle of attorneys should, seriously, go after the media too...from the standpoint that the media, contrary to what they claim to do, took this lady and presented her story in such a way to imply that she was some sort of window-dressing exhibitionist (Not that that kind of thing is a bad thing! ) but it just shows that the "news" isn't the same thing anymore...it's a tabloid mass of gossip and has nothing in relationship to actually being news...

Maybe, "old-age-related" wasn't what REALLY caused "Uncle Walter" to pass on this past week...it was sheer frustration at the "TMZ-style" of reporting this country has come to expect (and wants!) from our "s-news channels"...

As has been pointed out (Most notably by those same "news outlets" themselves!) ANYONE can get their crap on TV by mere submission...so it just goes to prove the point..."If it's bleeding, it's leading!" is still the low-water benchmark for most of what we watch, see and repeat...

Her career will now skyrocket. She could not have PAID to get publicity that good. I never heard of her before this.

Nice rack, by the way . . . . Where's the link to those horrible videos anyhow?
