ESPN reporter Erin Andrews, who much to her surprise was videotaped nude in a hotel room expressed frustration over reportedly being "treated like Britney Spears" when she called 911 to report paparazzi gathered outside her Atlanta area home.In an audiotape released Wednesday, Andrews is heard speaking with a 911 operator in suburban DeKalb County on July 22 to complain about a pair of people sitting in a car outside her home in a gated community.
Andrews identifies herself and tells the operator, "I'm all over the news right now," and describes herself as "the girl that was videotaped in my hotel room in the nude." Andrews reportedly uses expletives to describe the two men whom she says also knocked on her door.
"I did nothing wrong, and I am being treated like (expletive) Britney Spears, and it sucks," Andrews told the operator. Dunwoody police officers responded to the Andrews call but no incident report was filed.
It is not clear when the video of Andrews in the hotel room first appeared on the Internet. The individual who initially posted the video didn't identify the nude woman, but Andrews' attorney has come forward to say the video was of the 31-year-old reporter.
The blurry, five-minute video shows the woman standing in front of a hotel room mirror, fixing her hair in the nude. Andrews' attorney said the video was shot without his client's knowledge and Andrews plans to pursue criminal charges and file civil lawsuits against whoever shot the video and anyone who publishes it.
Andrews has covered numerous sports for ESPN since 2004, often as a sideline reporter.
