Was That Erin Andrews Video Taped Naked Through A Hotel Peephole?
Update: July 30, 2009 - Erin Andrews 911 Call (Full Audio)
Total Pro Sports - Anything and everything regarding the life of Erin Andrews seems to be making headlines these days. Whether she is taking balls off her chin, or scarfing down pulled-pork sandwiches, she seemingly can't escape the public eye. Even when she is in the privacy of her own hotel room.
This story came to us from Deadspin, after they reported that the website NSFW POA had posted videos of what they claim to be "a hot naked blonde doing some ironing and curling her hair in her hotel room." They also went on to state that the person who sent them the tip labeled it "Sexy and hot blonde sports celebrity shows us her all."
Although it does not state Erin Andrews' name anywhere, the lawyers at ESPN still took immidiate action. Deadspin posted the following letter, which was written by ESPN's attorney David Pahl, to blog proprietor Doug Sheckler:
I am the General Counsel of ESPN, Inc. It has come to my attention that you have posted on your site pictures of a young, blonde woman at http://www.nsfwpoa.com/2009/07/hot-naked-blonde-who-looks-lot-like.html. These pictures were obviously taken through a peephole or otherwise in a fashion constituting a trespass/assault on the rights of the woman involved. Your continued posting of these pictures are highly likely to render you an accessory after the fact to a criminal act. We hereby demand that you (i) immediately remove these pictures from your site and (ii) disclose to us the source of the pictures. We intend to hold you fully responsible for further display of material that so obviously violates the law.
Please confirm by return e-mail that you intend to comply with these demands. In the absence of such confirmation we will assume you are an active and willing participant in these acts.
David Pahl
The post has since been removed, but the source remains in question. What is also still up in the air is the identity of the woman. Was it in fact Erin Andrews? While that has yet to be confirmed, you have to wonder why ESPN took such action against the vids. Maybe they should consider substituting the "Erin Andrews Butt Cam" with the "Erin Andrews Peep Hole Cam"

Hurt her career? ARE YOU KIDDING ME? With a body like that, a few more million boners out there DEFINITELY will help her career!
The quality of the video was so bad that the woman in the video easily fit the description of thousands of other blonde women in the U.S. If ESPN really wanted this to blow over they could’ve just said that it wasn’t her in the video and the whole thing would have went away.
Erin Andrews is coming up fast on her 15th minute of fame and she and ESPN know it. This whole thing reeks of a manufactured P.R. stunt.
wow a somkeshow!!!
this is not good,i mean this is bull shit.i don,t know why the some people want to do like this.it happend can be each and evey one.evey woman.its very difficult to save your self like these people.
It’s disgustingly sad that someone would stoop to that level to invade someone’s personal privacy in that way.
But two questions are raised – the peep hole must have been inverted. Couldn’t they get the hotel room checked to see if it is. In which case it has to be an employee who did it otherwise you’d notice someone trying to reverse it with power tools lol.
Secondly, I assume she was just walking around naked in the hotel room (not the bathroom mind you, but the hotel room). You always need to be paranoid or careful in hotels – if it’s not the dirty sheets, there just could be a camera built into the wall or a mirror to spy on you. ..that or I’ve been watching too many horror films.
I watch ESPN all of the tiem and this is the 1st time I have ever heard of her.
I actually think this will help her career.
Simply J you are a moron! Why would they need to manufacture P.R. And NO if it is her they would not just ignore it. People like you need to take a long walk off a short peer!
Yeah jump off a short peer with maybe some bier . At least you can spell bee right.
Help her career? However well intentioned such a thought is, it is a perversion of integrity and value in the workplace, and is an entirely sexist view of the situation, considering the likely hood of first, such a thing happening to a male employee, and second, the way in which such an event would be viewed and judged. It is an expression of our society’s view of genders and how each garner their significance. Men = brains. Woman = sex.
Help her career. What a joke. The ratings may go up. But I wouldn’t want such a “career”.
BUT I THOUGH MACS CAN’T GET VIRUSES!?!?!?!?!?!?!
WTF I WASTED 2000 DOLARS FOR STUPID COMPUTERM WITH VIRUSESSS
@Billy Bee: What part of celebrity do you not understand? If people stop talking about Erin Andrews and don’t bother watching her, WTF do you think that’s gonna do for her career? She needs stuff like this to stay alive, she knows it, ESPN knows it, the only people who don’t know it are idiot horndogs like you who are under the delusion they are “defending Erin’s honor”.
Like I said, if ESPN was really interested in protecting her name, they would just say it wasn’t her in the video. Everyone in the media and on the internet would say, “O.K.” and life would go on and NO ONE WOULD BE TALKING ABOUT ERIN ANDREWS!!
This not fair for anybody. We are so helpless from this kind of people. Please help her career.
