Erin Andrews got that #WhitePrivilege $55 Milly

[MustafaSTL]

She probably won't get 55 mil exact, 50% is the guy who recorded her.. and I doubt he can afford to give her like 28 mil. She will get 28 from the Mariott and then lawyer fees and all that..still a good amount of money.

The stalker owes 28 million. He's dead broke. He don't even have 25 dollars in his name. She's not seeing any of this money. Her best bet was the Marriott International and the judge threw out the case for that.

Y'all need to understand the concept of joint and several liability. If the appellate judge uphold this (unlikely), she'd get all of it pretty much.

7 mill

Hilary's America brehs

Her privacy was violated and I cant front man. That was sad and disrespectful all at once. She deserves that money. Doubt she will enjoy it though

the only thing that was sad about that video was the lack of ass on that cave bytch

This amount is totally unprecedented for any tragedy. If there's one on the same level I've never heard about it.

This is a little bit worrisome though. Does this ruling now set a precedent and a tacit admittance that celebrities are more imporant than normal civilians?

We have known this for awhile. While blacks are usually getting the raw deal, cacs do too sometimes. Like that rich kid who killed 4 cacs while driving drunk and got PROBATION

 

[Sauce Dab]

in all seriousness tho, i bet she would trade the 55 mil to never have the tape drop. its not like she didnt make plenty of money

or maybe not either way im not gonna act like its not a fukked up thing to have happen

Ehhhhh you never know. It's traumatic but still
Way worse is happening in the streets

Somebody school me real quick, what is this all about?

There was some dude stalking her and would follow her from state to state at different hotels and film her through the peep holes of her hotel room. In one of the incidents in 2009 at a Marriott in Nashville, it was determined that he called the hotel and asked for Erin Andrews room. When they gave him the room number he went to the front desk and requested the room adjacent to hers. Pretty much a shyt ton of negligence on behalf of the hotel and their staff which eventually led to the guy putting a camera in her peep hole and filming her while nude. One of the videos leaked. The stalker got a arrested and did 3 years. Erin Andrew sued him, and the hotels involved for $75 million. This suit has been going on for 7 years and the judge just awarded her $55 million.

Nah, I when I saw the total too, but if Marriott had anything to do with it, she deserved every cent. Marriott actually got of lucky, as he is very high profile and that video (overrated) spread through the Zeigeist like wildfire. If they had to pay a couple bucks for everyone who saw it, people would be staying at Andrews.

This. Tracy Morgan got Walmart for $100 million



Like I said above Tracy Morgan, that wasn't a "ruling" but a settlement so your point may still be valid.

Completely different. Wal Mart corp lost that suit. There is no way around it for them. They could fight in court for years but they realized that Tracy got the lawyers and the money so they just settled. For them, they had to make sure this wasn't a PR hit and there was no way around it. Marriott Intl got out of it and they ultimately won even though the PR hit will be hard.

So who pays the other 28 mil? Taxpayers or the hotel?

So who pays the other 28 mil? Taxpayers or the hotel?

The hotel. They pay what the other co-defendant is unable to pay. If Tennessee laws have restrictions on joint and several liability, that's a different story.

 

[GoFlipAPack]

No homo but do one of yall brehs want to film me naked. I'll slide you some dough on the back end

 

[Anerdyblackguy]

55 million for a peep show.


Edit: I apologize about my earlier statement. Just found out that the guy who looked her up was a stalker of hers. Nevermind my earlier comment.

 

[DeVanteSwing]

[Amare's Right Hook]

Some comments are humorous, and others are plain ol distasteful
