Sportscaster Erin Andrews Settles Court Case, Ends Appeals

Source: Associated Press

Sportscaster and TV host Erin Andrews on Monday settled with two hotel companies that were found partially to blame for a stalker posting secretly-recorded nude video of her on the Internet.

A jury in March had already awarded Andrews $55 million following a trial where jurors also found her stalker all at fault. But the two hotel companies that own and once operated the Nashville Marriott at Vanderbilt appealed the verdict. The hotel is a franchise.

By settling now, Andrews stops what could have been years of appeals.

The settlement agreement was reached in the morning and is confidential, said Ann Dee McClane a, spokeswoman for Spicer Rudstrom, the law firm that represented West End Hotel Partners and Windsor Capital Group, said.
