Erin Andrews’ trial began this past Monday, and it didn’t take long for everyone to see the emotional toll that she’s taken as a result of being secretly videotaped nude.
It was revealed that the FOX Sports reporter, then working for ESPN at the time of the incident, was diagnosed with “adjustment disorder,” a form of stress-related mental illness.
The diagnosis came from the therapist she was seeing from March 2012 to April 2013, Loren Comstock, as explained in a story by SportingNews.com.
The aftermath of the incident, which occurred as she was getting ready to cover a Vanderbilt game in 2008, has also proven difficult for Andrews with regards to significant others. Comstock mentioned how much of a burden it was for Andrews, who started dating Jarret Stoll of the New York Rangers in 2013.
Comstock later went on to explain how Andrews had been given the nickname of “… One-Click Erin, which meant if someone saw her name, they would make one click looking for the video.”
It was estimated that the nude peephole videos, illegally posted to the internet by Michael David Barrett in 2009, have been viewed 17 million times worldwide, according to a “conservative” estimate from a computer expert.
Andrews is seeking damages from the Nashville Marriott, Windsor Capital Group and Barrett. Barrett plead guilty to interstate stalking in 2010 and was sentenced to 30 months in prison.
