Erin Andrews Suing Sites Over Sex Tape Rumors?

ESPN 540 in Milwaukee, via SportsRadioInterviews.com, today interviewed Erin Andrews. As usual, Andrews fielded the obligatory inquiries about her reax to internet postings about her.

Normally she answers those questions with diplomatic pap. But this time she wasn’t quite so nonchalant about it.

“There’s been situations where stuff that’s been false has been written. We’ve kinda had to take action on our own.  Whether it’s my agents or lawyers or stuff.  It’s kind of hard to stay away from it.  I’m not as obsessive I think about it as as I was about it when I first started. It’s amazing that people can write the stuff that they write and not be held accountable for it.  Can you imagine if you and I went on air or on the radio and said some of the stuff that these people get away with.  We’d be fired.  It’s unbelievable.

From what I’ve seen on internet search engines, the only thing I can think of that would cause her to file a cease & desist and/or lawsuit would be websites claiming she appeared in a sex tape with David Wright.

That rumor has been making the rounds for some time now on the web, and is completely untrue. She has every right to file suit against sites purporting the rumor to be fact. It’s clearly defamatory.

That said, the rumor only lends even more popularity to Andrews, who has certainly benefited professionally from her internet acclaim. She’s probably best just letting it die on its own - as we wouldn’t be bringing it up today if she hadn’t mentioned legal action against websites.

What else could it be? Suing sites that reveal her United Airlines upgrade status?

    I would be quite angry, too, if I was Erin Andrews. She can score much better than David Wright.

    If there was an Erin Andrews sex tape out there, it would be the biggest seller & biggest downloaded movie ever! More popular than anything Paris Hilton has done.

    Give the poor woman a break. It's bad enough she's such a huge object of affection on the Internet - and now some people want to start sex tape rumors about her? That's just classless.

    Now if it were a sex tape between Erin & her sister, then we'd be talking.

    This chick is completely overrated. Good Lord. There are dozens of better looking chicks, everyday, at your local Starbucks.

    Yeah Gene…but in terms of her job she is top 3 worthy.

    My biggest question is this… I went to the OSU v. PSU game on Tuesday, and watched her do absolutely nothing.  Besides being hot, what is her job description.  I just saw her sit on her ass all night.  LUCKY CHAIR!!!

    I could watch her do nothing all night.

    If there was a Dick Vitale sex tape floating around, I would become physically sick.

    I think Erin's pretty attractive. Not a jaw-dropping Song Girl beauty, but pleasant enough to look at.

    Let Little Miss Erin sue every website over what is written about her.  Several other women in sports television who have been around longer that that blonde airhead have been victims of message board rumors, and none of them seem to be bothered, at least publicly, with what is written about them. 

    Also, I don't understand the fascination with Erin Andrews.  She is not even the hottest woman on ESPN.  Yet, she seems to invade my TV nearly every other day on three different sports packages on the four letter network, while the likes of Suzy Kolber and Michele Tafoya have their sideline hits on MNF cut back, and Bonnie Bernstein has only appeared on any ESPN program a grand total of 12 times since last September, including only twice in the last two months.  Anybody know what's up with her, BTW????

    I'll offer to be the cameraman on Erin's next sex tape. Or better yet, be her co-star.

    I don't get SbB obsession with Erin Andrews. She's ok, David Wright could do much better.

    Erin is probably the only thing that David has hit in the clutch in the last 3 years.
