Erin Andrews: News Outlets Fighting Over Her Honor?

The New York Post and ESPN are about to throw down.

On Wednesday, ESPN banned Post reporters from appearing on their networks because the newspaper published three photos from the Erin Andrews illicitly filmed internet video.

The Post responded with this tasty gem:

“No one would have known that a sick voyeur had secretly videotaped ESPN reporter Erin Andrews nude in her hotel room, if the Mickey Mouse sports network hadn’t sent a letter to an obscure Web site demanding that it take down its link to a fuzzy video of an unidentified blonde.”

Last week, ESPN sent a letter to DonChavez.com demanding that a video of an unidentified nude woman be removed. According to Andrews and her legal team, the video is of her and it was shot without her knowledge.

Yes, that’s right, Andrews herself confirmed she was the naked blonde woman in the blurry video. According to her, she did this to end rumor and speculation. A very odd excuse considering the video was posted in February and no one was really watching it.

Until Andrews confirmed that she was indeed the woman in the video no one was thinking that it was her. After all, she wasn’t stuttering and stammering and asking ridiculous questions.

Ultimately, this is going to be a disaster for the 31-year old reporter. Andrews patrols the sidelines for ESPN during broadcasts of college football games. Can you imagine the abuse she’ll be taking from liquored up college students in stands?
Andrews and her lawyers are supposedly going after the perpetrators who secretly videotaped her naked, at two different hotels—although it’s unclear if they are going to prosecute them or thank them for all the free publicity she’s been getting.

Meanwhile, some news organizations have chose to air parts of her video and others have chose not, but all news directors have taken the footage home for further study.

All joking aside, Andrews is the victim of a serious crime and this matter should be treated seriously.

However, there is a way for attractive starlets to prevent this type of thing from happening. All they have to do is accept all lucrative and legitimate offers to pose nude so their nakedness loses all value and intrigue.

Suffering through a Playboy photo shoot has got to be better than what Andrews is going through. At least Hefner springs for craft services.

By the way, the Post reporters that have been banned from the ESPN family of networks are Lenn Robbins, Kevin Kernan, Joel Sherman and Mark Cannizzaro. Unfortunately Steven A. Smith and Jay Mariotti don’t work for the Post.
