That's a crazy amount of money. Likely to decrease after the appeals process. Still though, I didn't think she would get anywhere near what she was asking for.
OT: Erin Andrews awarded $55 million

It's $28,000,000 from the pervert which she will never see a penny of and $27,000,000 from Marriott. So it's really only $27,000,000.
It actually was not against Marriott. It was against the management company that owns the Marriott franchise in Nashville
someone wanna film me naked? i'll give you compensation
Seems fair considering the contempt of the suit the management company portrayed during the trial.
After that exec watched the video at a restaurant during the trial, it's not enough. 27M to Marriot is pocket change.

The employees at the local Marriot put her stalker in the room next to her upon his request. So essentially the argument is that the Franchisee assisted the stalker by giving him access to his victim.
The jury apportioned fault to the Franchisee at 49% so they will pay roughly $27 million of the judgment. The stalker is likely judgment proof.
Not really when you consider the hotel aided a stalker. I am sure you would feel differently if this was your daughter that was violated like that. Luckily for Erin the guy was nothing worse than a perv tyring to score a pay day.
Why do you expect it to decrease after an appeal? I'm a little surprised she didn't get the full $75M. I would be interested see if they release the Jury's findings on damages.
While you will never convince me this ruined her life the money settlement needs to happen so hotels take safety of their guests seriously. To be able to call up and just be placed to whoever you want without any questions is absurd.
Haven't been following this except when forced on me to watch. What is the latest on the criminal side of this case?
No, it didn't ruin her life, but for someone that travels all the time and lives in hotel room after hotel room, it's pretty traumatic. She talked about how she combs every room she's in now for holes, and was humiliated when it went viral. Imagine the whole world being able to see you completely naked in a 4 minute video, basically for the rest of your life.
By the way, I've seen cases where people are maimed at work or medical malpractice and they get nowhere near this amount. $$ gets you good attorneys.
This. Couldn't believe it when I heard it. I was stunned anyone could be so stupid.
Honestly, the amount is mainly due to her celebrity and ability to hire the best attorneys out of places like New York State. There's less fortunate people getting mauled and mangled due to poor working conditions, and they end up with nothing after paying attorneys/union fees. Military personel are sent into battle with Mil-spec equipment that local law enforcement won't even use, they never see a thing while losing limbs, vital organs, and life. Their families have to battle the government and VA the rest of their lives.
While I do feel for her, and I'm sure it's traumatic in it's own right, its still what it is. But thats the world we live in.

Alot hotter women than her have done far more for far less.
eh.......I don't think so. but close I guess. Had I jumped to wood chips in parmesan cheese from the laws of attractions, maybe.....but hey? Why are dingle berries brown?
Just the way **** is.
Bad news is that they are paying her in Marriot rewards points.
I don't believe appeals courts use juries. Appeals courts usually have a panel of judges that will determine whether or not the trial court abused its discretion or did not properly follow the existing law.
IMHO - She went from 'doable' to 'Paddock smoke show' after this ruling.
I have a question. Is there a law that says a Hotel can't put you in a room next to someone if you ask them??? Is there a law that says a Hotel cant tell you if an individual is staying at their Hotel?? Now I know it is probably not good practice to do this for people would quit staying at your Hotel if you did but I am not sure it's against the law. Now the Perve should have the book thrown at him since he was breaking the law.
