Erin Andrews Sues Hotels for Peephole Scandal
ESPN reporter Erin Andrews is suing the hotels where she was peeped on illegally by Michael David Barrett according to CNN.
“Not only did the hotels confirm that Ms. Andrews was intending to register as a guest, but they also released, without Ms. Andrews’ consent, her room number. The hotels then provided Michael David Barrett a hotel room immediately adjacent to hers,” the statement from law firm Greene, Broilett & Wheeler said.
Barrett pled guilty to stalking Miss Andrews and is currently serving 27 months for his hideous crime.
Andrews, a fighter for women’s rights, naturally wants to proceed with the suit to protect not only herself, but other women from the same thing happening to them.
“Although I’ll never be able to fully erase the impact that this invasion of privacy has had upon me and my family, I do hope that my experience will cause the hospitality industry to be more vigilant in protecting its guests from the time they reserve a hotel room until they check out,” Andrews said in a statement Thursday.
If the hotels were dumb enough to release that she was staying in said hotel, her room number, and assign a room directly next to her, then they need to pay up. That is dangerous not only for celebrities but for even us non-celebrities.
The Marriott and Radisson are the two hotels named in the suit.

Good for Erin. I think this situtation is more common than people think. If you’re staying at the same hotel as a celebrity, it’s not super hard to find out what floor that celeb is staying on, and get your own room nearby. I’ve known fans who have done this just so they have a better chance of riding on the elevator at the same time as the celeb. Their motivations are rather innocent. But there are some crazy stalkers out there. Hotels have to step it up.
