Erin Andrews is a sideline reporter for ESPN. She began by covering the National Hockey League, and has since moved on to College Football and Major League Baseball after ESPN downgraded their hockey coverage. Her father, Steve Andrews, is a six time Emmy Award winning television news reporter.

In July of 2009, Andrews was videotaped nude in her hotel room without her consent using a peephole. The footage was posted on the Internet, prompting legal action from ESPN. Several websites and emails offering the video also contain a computer virus.http://blogs.usatoday.com/gameon/2009/07/erin-andrews-tape-being-used-to-spread-computer-virus.html On July 31, 2009 TMZ.com posted a 911 call from Andrews complaining about paparazzi outside of her home in Georgia. In October 2009, Michael David Barrett was arrested, accused of stalking Andrews and making the peephole video.http://blogs.usatoday.com/gameon/2009/10/erin-andrews-alleged-stalker-in-court-today.html

Playboy magazine ranked her in 2007 as "America's Sexiest Sportscaster," beating out Lindsay Soto and Krista Voda. Andrews garnered almost 40% of the vote from the user-determined contest. The most popular video montage of Andrews on YouTube has been viewed over one million times.

While at the University of Florida, Andrews performed for the Gator Basketball dance team, and aspired to be a back-up dancer for Britney Spears. Her first jobs out of college were for FSN Florida and Sunshine Network, reporting on the Tampa Bay Lightning. She covered Atlanta sports teams such as the Thrashers and Braves before signing with ESPN in 2004.

In July, 2009, a peeping tom filmed Andrews naked through a hotel peephole. The video was posted on the Internet and spread through torrents and other video-sharing sites. The video was quickly removed from YouTube and Andrews took legal action against the hotel and person who filmed her. Hackers used the video as a way to trick people into downloading a Trojan Horse virus.http://www.nypost.com/seven/07212009/news/nationalnews/espn_hottie_erin_andrews_in_peep_shocker_180520.htm Andrews states in an upcoming episode of Oprah that the whole peephole video incident has been a nightmare and her heart was pounding when she opened the computer and saw the video for the first time.http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20301731,00.html

Andrews returned to the sidelines on September 3, 2009 for ESPN's coverage of the college football game between South Carolina and North Carolina State.http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/tv/2009/09/03/2009-09-03_erin_andrews_back_in_front_of_the_camera_for_espn_tonight_for_first_time_since_n.html

On November 22 a second woman claimed that peephole video suspect Michael Barrett stalked her at home, her workplace and on the internet. Andrews' lawyer Marshall Grossman says she wanted to come face to face with Barrett in court but couldn't due to work obligations.http://www.nydailynews.com/gossip/2009/11/21/2009-11-21_second_woman_in_espns_erin_andrews_stalker_case_details_fear_in_court.html
