Erin Andrews Blames Hotel

Erin Andrews Testifies
Signs from fans in the stands said “Marry me, Erin Andrews. You’re hot,” Andrews told a Nashville jury on Monday.

She could handle it back then, she said, and even used comments about her appearance to fuel her career.

But, reports The Tennessean,  a 4½-minute video secretly recorded of the television broadcaster nude at a Nashville hotel in 2008 shook that confidence, she said.

Now when the Fox Sports reporter is on the field, she has an earpiece in one ear and a never-ending stream of anxiety in the other.

“I’ve seen your this. I’ve seen your that,” she said tearfully from the witness stand, recalling the jeers she hears from the crowd. “Hey, I’ve seen what you do here.”

Andrews testified in the fifth day of her civil trial. She is seeking $75 million from Nashville Marriott at Vanderbilt University, owned by West End Hotel Partners and operated by Windsor Capital Group.

The 37-year-old, who has attended each day of trial, spoke calmly at first. When asked by her lawyer, Bruce Broillet, if she knew more about sports than anyone in the courtroom, she responded lightheartedly: "That's speculation, isn't it?"

She said if she had known a man requested the room next to her, she would have called police. But Marriott hotel staff never notified her, she said.
