ESPN‘s Erin Andrews has allowed her attorney to issue a statement regarding the alleged peephole video that appeared briefly on the internet on Friday (see our original story here).
12/8/2011 UPDATE: Andrews has filed a $10 million lawsuit over invasion of privacy
The statement reads as follows:
“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.”
It sounds as though this statement all but confirms that the footage was indeed that of Erin Andrews.
Let’s hope it doesn’t surface somewhere on the web for her sake, although some have claimed to find the Erin Andrews peephole video by searching Google’s cache. This has not yet been confirmed.
