Erin Andrews gets 55 million

Merged into sports forum thread.

she should get plenty, but there is a fair way to determine the amount. Find someone of her stature who has posed in Playboy. Take that amount and increase by 10-50%, depending on how much you think her privacy is worth. Then add her lawyer fees on top. I think that'd be a pretty fair judgement.

Remember it's a closed primary in Florida.

The dude determine what room she was in thru some social engineering scamming, then simply requested an adjacent room when he checked in. You can say that marriot is culpable for being conned but 55 mil? GTFO, seriously.

You think any of your daughters would have got that if the same thing happened? They'd get about 50-100k.

Only reason she got 55 mil was bc she's famous and her lawyers are making sure the entire free world knows about it.

It was an awful thing that happened but 55 mil is a freaking joke.

Bingo. He found her room number through a house phone then asked for the room next to her not the room next to Erin Andrews. People ask for specific room numbers all the time. i love Erin but this was a money grab.

Wait, I read that the Marriot front desk guy had a copy of the DVD and showed it to a
group of other employees at their favorite lunchtime restaurant. That story continues
that a waitress (trial witness) saw what they were doing and had to tell them to put it away.
Is that all I-net bogusity ?

Long after the ordeal was over an employee watched and shared the vid at some point. It's not like marriot hosted the video party.

If you get caught watching revenge porn on your work computer should the person in the video be able to sue your employer for 50 mil? Or what if you watch it while on your lunch break away from work?

We seriously live in a sue everyone and blame everyone for everything society.

I can't tell you the # of the times since, that I've stayed at the Marriot traipsing around
my room naked.... nothing.

He found her room number through a house phone

This is what I don't understand... at last count I have close to 1700 nights at Marriott properties, not counting the other chains, and I've never once had a hotel employee give me someone's room number. They always say..."I'll connect you".
So how did this guy get her room number?
I'm confused

Red flags go off when you call a hotel. I don't expect you to get too many people's room number. Your case is special diddy.

Diddy, he claimed he went to house phone and asked for Erin Andrews and her room number showed on the house phone when they connected him......seems problematic if true.

An "employees only" house phone that displayed the room numbers when dialed.

She really is one of the worst representatives of this school and that includes the likes of Aaron Hernandez.

I dunno, have you seen the video? She's reppin' pretty well in my eyes

 

[MidwestChomp]

Ridiculous. Hope they knock it down to 50 bucks on appeal.

She probably will only get 50 bucks after her lawyers cash in.

 

[BMF]

Wasn't she asking for $10 million?

She will only see maybe $6 mill - if it isn't appealed
