In response to a judicial order requested by defense lawyers, Dancing With the Stars co-host and Fox Sports correspondent Erin Andrews has disclosed that she is seeking $75 million in damages for being secretly videotaped changing in a Tennessee hotel room.
The incident occurred in 2008 when Andrews was in town covering a Vanderbilt University football game.
Andrews alleges that hotel employees helped facilitate the filming by confirming to Barrett that Andrews was staying at the hotel, giving him her room number and then putting him in the room next to hers during her stay.
The website Smoking Gun first reported on the amended lawsuit. His actions prompted an Federal Bureau of Investigation probe that resulted in his arrest and was given a 30-month prison sentence following his December 2009 guilty plea to felony stalking. The attorneys argued Andrews’ claims were “unreasonably vague and ambiguous”.
Her lawyers and the defendants expect the trial to last just 10 days.
