khabrein.info - New Delhi, Sept 12, 2009: Erin Andrews peeping tom video was a nightmare for her. Erin Andrews, the ESPN reporter in an interview to Oprah Winfrey has said that she thought her career was over following the peephole video tape in which she was filmed nude while in her room.
In an interview –her first one – following the much talked about video she says she thought there is no career left for her and that she would not be able to continue her professional life.
So far there is still no certainty as to who shot the video clip.
And mind you this was not a single video clip shot surreptitiously. A gossip website has so far concluded that the full video that did the round on internet initially was shot in six clips.
So how come a single person can shoot a video of celebrity type ESPN reporter without the involvement of a group that has access to the places or hotels where Erin Andrews stayed.
Nobody knew that it was Erin Andrews in the video till ESPN send a notice to a website that had hosted the naked video of ESPN reporter.
She told Oprah, “I mean, having to call my parents and they - they thought I was physically injured how bad I was screaming",
Andres says that she continued screaming to her father on phone “I kept screaming, I'm done. My career is over. I'm done. Get it off. Get it off the Internet. Get it off."
“It was reliving it. Like I said, I understand you have a story to cover. But it's almost like you're - you're glorifying it. 'Hey, check out this video. Check out these pictures.' There was no need to show those. I'm a crime victim, said Erin Andrews.
Andrews became an Internet sensation, as she is popular among male sports fans for her physical appearance and knowledge of sports. In 2007 and 2008, she was voted "America's Sexiest Sportscaster" by Playboy Magazine.
Andrews began her career with FSN Florida as a freelance reporter from 2000–01, before serving as a Tampa Bay Lightning reporter for the Sunshine Network from 2001–02. She then worked as a studio host for Turner Sports from 2002–04, covering the Atlanta Braves and college football for TBS and Atlanta Thrashers and Atlanta Hawks for Turner South.
Andrews joined ESPN in May 2004 as a reporter for the network's National Hockey League coverage. Since the 2004 season, she has served as sideline reporter for the ESPN College Football Saturday telecast, the Saturday Primetime college basketball game and Big Ten college basketball coverage.
Erin Andrews in 2005 added Major League Baseball sideline reporting to her duties. She also provides reports and features on Great Outdoor Games coverage, covers Men's college baseball, and is a familiar sight during the College World Series. On July 8, 2009, Andrews was struck by a foul ball in the chin. The ball was hit by Alex Cora of the New York Mets. She was rushed to the hospital, but she only suffered bruises.
Searches for the video surged to the top of the Google Hot Trends list last weekend — as pervs “sports fanatics” risk violating laws and downloading computer viruses to get to the video.
Her attorney in a statement said, “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”.
