Erin Andrews Peephole Video Protected by ESPN for Nudity? | Gunaxin

The Erin Andrews peephole video is real

It's a strange story. The videos have been floating around the internet for four months, and nobody really believed the woman was Erin. Then an ESPN lawyer sent a cease-and-desist order to a website, and the cat was out of the bag. The site had never even identified her. The lawyer's letter was a virtual confession. ESPN would obviously have no interest in stopping the distribution of pictures or videos of a random woman who looks like an unnamed "sports blogger favorite."

ESPN and Erin would have been much better off just ignoring it. As the linked site noted: "The quality is so poor that if they were not acknowledged it would have been passed off as a sophomoric Internet prank." Instead everyone knows they are real and, in fact, Erin's personal lawyers have now admitted it in the following official statement:

"While alone in the privacy of her hotel room, Erin Andrews was surreptitiously videotaped without her knowledge or consent. She was the victim of a crime and is taking action to protect herself and help ensure that others are not similarly violated in the future. Although the perpetrator or perpetrators of this criminal act have not yet been identified, when they are identified she intends to bring both civil and criminal charges against them and against anyone who has published the material. We request respect of Erin’s privacy at this time, while she and her representatives are working with the authorities."

Since it is now acknowledged to be real, it will get spread thousands of times faster. Nobody cared about it when it seemed to be just another in a long series of internet fakes. Now everyone wants to see it.
