I had this disgusting person following me around cities,\u201d<strong> Erin<\/strong> told host<strong> Alex Cooper<\/strong>. \u201cIt was very well publicized where College Game Day was going to be, where <em>Thursday Night Football<\/em> was going to be, and I didn\u2019t have an alias. I didn\u2019t think I was a big deal. I didn\u2019t, you know, who wants to, who cares about what name I\u2019m checking under? And that\u2019s, as you know, the sad realities of what we do for a living. There\u2019s a lot of amazing things, but when you deal with security, it\u2019s a different level, so I found out.\u201d <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI remember my contract was up. No, my contract wasn\u2019t up. I was gonna get a new agent, you know, when you go to the agent meetings and<em> Dancing with the Stars <\/em>was\u00a0calling\u00a0, and they wanted me to, things were going good. You know, I was working backstage at the ESPYs. I think <strong>Justin [Timberlake]<\/strong> was hosting. It was just fun. I can already remember the dress I was wearing, dear God,\u201d she continued. \u201cSo, I came back from a bunch of meetings, and I got a\u00a0call\u00a0from my friend who was working a blog at the time. Blogs were the big deal and he had been\u00a0calling\u00a0me all day and he just said, \u2018<strong>Erin<\/strong>, I have to talk to you,\u2019 and I was like, \u2018What\u2019s up? I\u2019m getting on a red eye to go back to Atlanta,\u2019 and he\u2019s like, \u2018There\u2019s naked video of you all over the internet,\u2019\u201d \u2018 and I said, \u2018No, there\u2019s not, I don\u2019t do that. I just don\u2019t,\u2019 and I didn\u2019t, you know, I was like, \u2018What are you talking about? This is made up. This is something that\u2019s not me,\u2019 and he got really, really upset and he goes, \u2018Erin, I\u2019m sending it to you,\u2019 and I looked at it, and I said, \u2018I have to go.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI called my mom and dad right away. I was screaming crying because it was me, and it was me naked in a hotel room walking around, and I just [had an] out-of-body experience, started screaming. My dad said when I called, he thought I was in a car accident because I was screaming so hard, and we talked about how much I love the job, how I liked kind of being the girl next door, and I just said to my dad, \u2018It\u2019s over, my career is over. No one\u2019s going to take me seriously ever again.\u2019 That\u2019s all I ever wanted, right, was people to turn on me and just say, \u2018Oh my gosh, I would love to have a beer with\u00a0her\u00a0and talk football with\u00a0her. I would love to do a sit-down interview with\u00a0her,\u2019 and I just thought, \u2018This is so dirty. No one\u2019s going to ever want to work with me again, talk to me again. This is gross. This changes who I am.&#8217;\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe didn\u2019t know anything at that point. Come to find out, after a whole investigation, the FBI gets involved, there\u2019s a trial. There was this disgusting person following me around, and he was setting up his cell phone right up to my hotel room. He would take off the peephole at the door. He would ask for a room next to me, and the hotel never alerted me that this was happening, so they would put this person next to me,\u201d she said. \u201cHe would wait and listen, and he could tell when I was getting into the shower because he could hear it, and he would stand there with a camera, and he filmed me getting ready, and then he put it on the internet, and as you know, when something\u2019s on the internet, it doesn\u2019t come down, so it was a lot. It was a lot that I put my family through with all of it. It was a lot legally. It was wild.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThere\u2019s parts of it that\u2019s still just with me,\u201d <strong>Erin<\/strong> added.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She also opened up about the public trauma following the leak. <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Erin Andrews: NFL Sidelines, Setbacks, &amp; Surrogacy\" width=\"696\" height=\"392\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/UpTWDfD9jjY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<h3 id=\"h-erin-andrews-on-public-trauma-after-nude-video-leak\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Erin Andrews on public trauma after nude video leak<\/h3>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cGross, gross. Wishing in my own hotel room I had worn a towel. You\u2019re getting ready for a game. What were you talking about? Shame. I remember walking around stadiums,\u201d <strong>Erin<\/strong> shared. \u201cThis is when I was doing college. So, some stadiums have 100,000 people, thinking everybody in the stadium has seen me naked, and I didn\u2019t have a choice. Just if I would talk to people, I feel like in the back of their head, they\u2019re thinking about it.\u201d <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cBut my safe place, and I\u2019m so proud of this, was the football field, which is wild because you\u2019re sitting there and reporting to 20 million people, and how is that your safe place? But it\u2019s been for a lot of stuff,\u201d she continued. \u201cI mean, the week <a href=\"https:\/\/www.justjared.com\/2017\/01\/24\/erin-andrews-reveals-cervical-cancer-battle\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.justjared.com\/2017\/01\/24\/erin-andrews-reveals-cervical-cancer-battle\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">I was diagnosed with cervical cancer<\/a> and then had to have, you know, a pretty invasive surgery, they said, \u2018Don\u2019t go on the field and stand on the field because you\u2019re not really capable physically.\u2019 I was like, this is my safe space. So that\u2019s how I dealt. I threw myself right back into work.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe night he was arrested, I was in a hotel room by myself. I got a\u00a0call\u00a0from the gentleman from the FBI, and they said, \u2018We got him. We just got on a plane and got him.\u2019 And my dad and I were like, \u2018What?\u2019 And they were like, \u2018Unfortunately, we have to release this entire document because he\u2019s just been arrested and it\u2019s gonna come out in an hour, but we wanted to give you guys a heads up,\u201d <strong>Erin<\/strong> revealed. \u201cI had a game the following day at noon. I think it was like, or probably a one o\u2019clock kick. And my dad and I, we didn\u2019t know the specifics of where he followed me, and it all was out on public record in this whole document. And I\u2019m like, \u2018Dad, I have to go study for the Tennessee Volunteers-Auburn Tigers game right now.\u2019 And my dad\u2019s like, \u2018Okay, okay.\u2019 You know, so it was just, like, so much wild stuff with that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She recalled the public thought she did it to herself, and that was the biggest part. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI was on the cover of newspapers, just a still frame of the video, my naked body, and it said ESPN scandal,\u201d <strong>Erin<\/strong> recalled. \u201cPeople thought I did it to myself for publicity or to, you know, help my career. Which was the exact opposite of how I was feeling. I was feeling shame, like I would never get work again. I would never be taken seriously. And it was perceived, which is so sad.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After the public response, <strong>Erin<\/strong> says she left her Atlanta home and went to go stay with her parents. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI hid in my high school bedroom. I was thankful at the time I wasn\u2019t on air yet. I wasn\u2019t going back until college football. But yeah, I hid,\u201d she said. \u201cThe crazy part now is just kind of seeing how the world and perception and how people aren\u2019t judged like this. If a crime like this had happened, it would have been a totally different situation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"categories single-categories\">Posted To:<a href=\"https:\/\/www.justjared.com\/tags\/call-her-daddy\/\" rel=\"tag noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Call Her Daddy<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.justjared.com\/tags\/erin-andrews\/\" rel=\"tag noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Erin Andrews<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.justjared.com\/2026\/09\/02\/erin-andrews-opens-up-about-2009-hotel-room-video-leak-in-rare-comments\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Credit: Getty Erin Andrews is looking back and recalling the 2009 traumatic experience of the secret video taken of her in her hotel room.
