Erin Andrews Seeks To Increase Net Worth By Demanding $75 Million In Peep Case Controversy


Erin Andrews seemed to be having some plans of increasing her $3 million net worth after she reportedly demanded $75 million worth of justice for the peeping case incident in 2008. According to TMZ, the "Dancing with the Stars" host has filed an amendment to her 2011 lawsuit against the Marriott Hotel, seeking $75 million in damages.

In December 2011, Erin Andrews, a multimillion net worth-earner Fox Sports correspondent, filed a lawsuit against Marriott International and several hotel staffs for negligence and invasion of privacy after stalker Michael David Barrett was able to film her at the Nashville Marriott in September 2008.

Moreover, Andrews claimed that Marriott workers helped Barrett's videotaping by revealing that she was a guest at the hotel, disclosing her room number and finally by agreeing to Barrett's request to be placed in the room next door to the broadcaster. The Smoking Gun reported the 37-year-old correspondent, who was working for ESPN at the time, was in town to cover a Vanderbilt University football game.

Barrett, Andrews' stalker who filmed her through a front door peephole, subsequently uploaded several explicit clips to a video website. His actions prompted an FBI probe that resulted in his arrest and was given a 30-month prison sentence following his December 2009 guilty plea to felony stalking.

On Tuesday, however, Erin Andrews sought $75 million in damages for being surreptitiously filmed while naked inside a hotel room, court records revealed. Andrews' Oct. 13 court filing was in response to a judicial order directing her to provide specific damages claims.

Erin Andrews, who has an estimated net worth of $3 million, her lawyers and the defendants will appear on the trial, which will take 10 days. Aside from the numerous hotel employees, Andrews' legal team has also identified witnesses who could testify about the emotional distress the TV presenter went through because of the peephole videos.

As the negligence trial approaches, Erin Andrews could probably increase her $3 million net worth of as listed by Celebrity Net Worth after staking an eight-figure amount claim.
