naked squat thrusts..though a key hole in a hotel..tell me this country isn't all screwed up..29 Massey coal miners die in 2010..did their families get anything near that?
ot: Erin Andrews got 55Mill for being filmed doing
- Thread starter WESTBGVA
- Start date
---So Erin continues her history of only making money based on her looks
_--The video was so traumatic that she decided to put it smack in the middle of every news network... ...no doubt prompting many more people to do an Internet search.
_--Lets see how it plays out for Hulk Hogan (and no...I'm not a pro wrestling fan) who was actually filmed engaged in sex thanks to a hidden camera after a husband (Bubba The Love Sponge) and wife plotted the entire episode.

I thought it was reasonable considering what took place and who the parties were.
I'm not going to bother reading all about it, but I assume her stalker is on the hook for cash he can't actually pay and the remaining will be covered by the hotels insurers.
It's a lot of cash, for sure.

The hotel employee revealed to a STALKER her reservation at the hotel AND room number. The STALKER was not prevented by hotel staff from altering the peep hole on her room door. This is HORRIBLE!!!!! Ever been stalked, ever known anyone that was? That hotel should pay big time, just like they are now. Good for Erin, she had to go through even more to get this award. I wasn't a fan.....I am now! She's a LOT tougher than you think!
I would NOT categorize this as a $$$$$ grab. This is not a "Stella Award" which btw that lady did get burned bad from hot coffee.
Erin Andrews had her privacy violated. The Marriott gave out her reservation & room info and increased the chances of a sicko to film her in her room by giving him an adjoining room. It could have been worse (ie Assault, Rape, Death). WTF were they thinking? This is a privacy issue. No one has a right to know where she's staying unless she divulges that.
What she was doing in the room that was paid for is irrelevant. If she would have been using the potty or having relations with her significant other or doing squats in the birthday suit, she was in her room and it was paid for along with the privacy and security that comes with it. That's why the hotel room doors have locks and specific key cards to open them.
It doesn't have to be Erin Andrews (who btw IMO is no Pam Oliver in terms of NFL sideline reporting or Heather Cox in terms of College football). I travel A LOT for vacation and in my job. I sure wouldn't want to be filmed. It's privacy and if this judgement causes the Marriott to get its act together AS WELL AS EVERY OTHER HOTEL, good for all of us.
Btw the sicko who filmed Ms Andrews is in prison hopefully getting his privacy violated. It's called Karma.

I have six (6) ex-wifes and they all stalk ole Warez. Hail, come to think of it.........I have a mistress or two that stalk me! Can I sue these womanses? What portion will the lawyers and the government take of my settlement? Erin will only wind up with about $6M. Chicken feed!
A stalker was given her room number, allowed to get a room right next to her, and allowed to violate her privacy and expose her to the world forever. For all they knew he was going to kill her.
The award sends a message to those involved how serious this total violation was.
What's wrong with the world isn't that some justice was done, its that some don't see it and blame the victim.

Kool-Aid....................don't you say nuthin about that pickle factory! I don't need no stalkers hanging around the pickle plant.
well i must say you are a good businessman to be able to keep that factory after 6 divorces. Can you give me some tips of how to hide money from my ex's?
Spot on. And keep in mind, she won't see $55 million. She will see a few million but nowhere near $55, don't focus on the number.
The perp is responsible for 51% of that $55 million and he's most likely broke so right off the bat goes about $28 million that Andrews will never see. The hotel owners will need to pay, but that's what insurance is for.
Erin Andrews deserves that settlement. As for the Massey miners, yeah, their families got screwed, but that pos Don Blankenship has been before more than one jury, both civil and criminal, and walked because a bunch of coal company ass kissing citizens let him. That arrogant pos should have been brought low a long time ago, but continues to be defended and worshiped by a bunch poor, powerless, duped yahoos. Anyone not in that category won't be offended, as for those who are, good, you should be. You're part of the reason my beloved home state, especially the extreme southern counties, is in the shape it's in.
you wouldn't have gotten an amount anywhere near 55 million if that happened to you..that's the point..the law isn't applied equally.
3 million offered per family and the death benefits..5 times their salary..I think the civil penalty for being burned to death should be greater than that of being filmed naked..but that's just me.
I'm happy for Erin Andrews. By all accounts she has never been emotionally the same since that video broke on the internet.
Not all situations are equal. Each case is interpreted individually. Robots do not preside over cases, judges do and they have a brain and think for themselves. This was a civil lawsuit. Her stalker received jail time. If you were a victim of the same crime, I'm certain the defendant would also receive jail time. She was targeted for this crime mostly because of her status.
Frankly, if anyone took a video of you doing your hair, naked in a hotel room, prancing around, I don't think too many folks are going to watch and it certainly wouldn't be a major news item. However, if that does happen to you and you later find out the hotel was culpable, you have the same right to sue that Erin Andrews did.
So they paid out $89 million + death benefits?
Let's say those death benefits average $375,000. That's an additional $11 million.
So your talking about a total pay out around $100 million?
I'm sure it will be appealed and the amount reduced..again she is alive and will survive, she can unfk herself with therapy.. yet these coal miners are all dead..in fact murdered..
Trying to compare this to the mine tragedy (and as a West Virginian I'm sure you are well aware that many many deaths have been caused by the mines over the years, and no compensation was awarded at all) is low class.
Don't belittle Erin Andrews for doing what she should have done. I bet it wasn't about the money for her as much as it was about delivering a blow to the hotel. This country has a lot of problems, the system making a stand for the stalked.....isn't one of them.
Erin Andrews had nothing to do with the deaths of those miners. No reason to push your anger to her.
Shame the victim. Because, hey hot chicks don't have a right to privacy.
Her wardrobe is appropriate for her TV job and her wardrobe was appropriate for court.
I don't want to be the one to say it, but that is an apples and oranges comparison. Nobody gets justice against coal in WV. Good for Erin getting a win for privacy.
I didn't belittle anyone..the award is excessive that's what I'm saying..what now?..hotels have to do background checks..
low class my WV ass..you are putting a former college cheerleaders invasion of privacy above the deaths of human beings with families..how?..every life counts the same

Kool-Aid................all my ex's live in Texas. That's why I make my home in Tennessee.
No one is doing that. The situations don't need to be compared. Andrews was a victim of a crime and she and her legal team had their opportunity to present their argument, which was a very legitimate one, imo. The court awarded them money, because money is the only way the legal system can attempt to make someone whole. None of those facts have any connection to the deaths of the miners.
Her perpetrator is responsible for 51% of the money, which he doesn't have and is most likely judgement proof, so unless he somehow strikes it rich, Andrews will write off that portion. Her lawyers will be paid directly from the pay-out and she'll be left with good money but nothing close to $55 million.
She was violated and exploited (for money making purposes) and an insured and well-funded business was partially responsible.
Again, none of these facts have any connection to miners dying in WV.
The need to make sure they protect their guests right to privacy, and provide legitimate protection for their guests as well. Erin will be naked on the Internet for the rest of her life because of this, and for the rest of her children lives. That isn't right at all. Not to mention......this was a STALKER.....a lot worse could have happened. Give the girl some credit. The award was NOT excessive in my opinion. If that stalker ever gains any financial gain from this act, he should have to turn it over to Erin. The award insures that, and insures the hotel chain will focus on proper training and increased protection (both good things). I said low class, because no one could argue that death (esp that tragic) at the hands of big industry is not much more horrible. To make the comparison automatically indicates that this award for Erin is wrong BECAUSE of what the miners families were awarded. No reason for the comparison.....unless you're just trying to rip her apart.
Erin's stalker should pay dearly for his crime. 25 years in the Folsom pen would be about right. The Marriott should fire the employees that acted so stupid in putting the idiot in a room beside Erin. But, the Marriott paying nearly $30 Million is insane. I assure you, the employees did not follow Marriott protocol. Who should pay? Heck, I don't know. Sad situation.
Uh, or they can just make sure to not give out guest information...not a tall task.

The above linked article spells it out that Erin Andrews will probably never get a dime from the stalker. But this comment from one of the jurors I think says it all.
Meanwhile, one of the jurors, Terry Applegate, told The Post, “We needed to come to a figure that would impact Erin’s situation and her eight years of dealing with this, as well as impact the hotel itself and the hotel industry so that they recognize the severity of what occurred.”

Hotel exec's watched the video online together at a restaurant, and we're laughing about it.
They weren't going to get much goodwill.
Maybe this experience will give them some empathy.

This story could have ended differently. Instead of being videotaped, she could have been murdered. The mistake those employees made wasn't a small one. Was it a $30 million mistake? Well, it was to the people who mattered.
The Marriot, I believe was dismissed. This will come from the franchise owners group.

Sometimes, the wealthy only evaluate and react if something is said in the only language they know......money. Executives and the owner(s) of that hotel will pay attention now, and STRESS that keeping their guests safe is worth spending more money.
And with prison overcrowding, I bet the stalker does very little time. Erin and her family will be dealing with this for far longer. What if it was your daughter, gf, wife, sister, or friend? I bet $30m wouldn't be enough!

you can stress whatever you'd like, but how do stop an employee from violating policy?..people are hired, they let you see want you to see...the only thing you know about them is their education level and their criminal and in some cases their driving record...This is far from the first time something like this has happened...Teenage girls were filmed in a High School gym shower with a hidden camera..it's happened in clothing stores in dressing rooms..many, many cases...Andrews got an award for who she is..
