Erin Andrews 911 Call

The ESPN reporter surreptitiously videotaped nude in a hotel room expressed frustration at being treated like Britney Spears when she called 911 to report paparazzi gathered outside her Atlanta area home.

In an audiotape released Wednesday, Erin Andrews is heard speaking with a 911 operator in suburban DeKalb County on July 22 to complain about two people parked in a car outside her home in a gated community.

Andrews identifies herself and tells the operator, Im all over the news right now, and describes herself as the girl that was videotaped in my hotel room in the nude.

Clearly frustrated on the call, Andrews 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 spokesman, Sgt. Mike Carlson, said officers responded to the call but no incident report was filed. Dunwoody is about 14 miles north of Atlanta.

It was not clear when the video of Andrews in the hotel room first appeared on the Internet. The person who first posted the video didnt identify the nude woman, but Andrews attorney has since confirmed the video was of the 31-year-old reporter.

The blurry, five-minute video shows Andrews standing in front of a hotel room mirror, fixing her hair in the nude. Its unknown when or where it was shot. Andrews attorney Marshall Grossman said the video was shot without her knowledge and Andrews plans to seek criminal charges and file civil lawsuits against whoever shot the video and anyone who publishes the material.

Andrews, a former University of Florida dance team member, was an Internet sensation even before the videos circulation. Some Web sites have referred to her as Erin Pageviews because of the traffic she can generate, and Playboy magazine named her sexiest sportscaster in both 2008 and 2009. She has covered numerous sports for the network since 2004, often as a sideline reporter.

The Erin Andrews saga continues today as a 911 call made by the ESPN broadcaster from her Georgia home has surfaced. Andrews, who was illegally videotaped while naked in her hotel room, called to complain about "paparazzi" loitering outside her home.

For years, Erin Andrews has lived in front of the cameras. Now, she wants nothing to do with them.

Last week, the ESPN reporter called 911 to report two photographers parked outside her house in suburban Atlanta. She described herself as "the girl that was videotaped in my hotel room in the nude" and expressed frustration about being treated like Britney Spears.
Andrews sounds to be both totally in control and absolutely helpless at the same time. She's exceedingly polite, but peppers her call with profanity. And a few seconds before almost breaking out into tears on the phone, Andrews is playfully telling her mom that she's "totally being obvious" as they're trying to get a license plate number.

These contradictions are fitting in regards to a story that is full of them. So many people want to make this a black and white issue: Andrews is a victim, she brought it on herself, blame the bloggers, blame the internet, etc. There is no right answer though. There are shades of gray everywhere.

Just because Andrews cultivated her sex appeal to make her the most popular sideline reporter in America doesn't mean she somehow deserved to get surrepitiously filmed while standing nude in her hotel room. And even though she is calling the police about paparazzi stationed outside of her house, it was just weeks ago that Andrews was openly campaigning for a spot on Dancing With the Stars, a move that would have invited the attention of the photographers she was decrying.

There's no grand lesson to be learned here or blame that should be passed around. This is yet another in a long line of cautionary tales about the perils of fame. Erin Andrews wanted fame and attention, but on her own terms. Now that it's not, she doesn't seem to know what to do.

Britney Spears can probably relate.

[punanibuzzed]

[ts5765]

Can't see Madden calling 911 if there were TMZ types outside his house. Just not seeing that. Rome would probably be thrilled to have a stalker or anyone interested in his whereabouts.
