UPDATE -- March 7, 6:30 p.m.: Erin Andrews has been awarded $55 million in her lawsuit over the 2008 peeping Tom video. The jury found the hotel operator, the hotel owner and the man who shot the videos all to be partially responsible.

*****

It all began with a college football game, a well-known, talented female sportscaster and a costly lapse of judgment on the part of the Nashville Marriott staff. You see, none of the emotional and psychological wounds that Erin Andrews has suffered over the past 80 or so months had to have happened. All she did was check into a generic chain hotel for a work event.

But when a stalker made his way into the room next to Andrews' and altered a peephole so he could film her naked, a chain of reactions began that ended with the 37-year-old Andrews in a courtroom Tuesday, having to hear the opposing legal team insinuate that the peeping Tom contributed to the success and money she's earned since that fateful night. That series of events ended with Andrews on the stand this week, retelling and reliving her trauma as her mother broke down into sobs in the gallery just yards away.

Let's say this once, and let's say this clearly: In no way, shape or form is Erin Andrews responsible for what happened in Tennessee all those years ago. And it is both unfathomable and undeniably cruel that anyone would suggest that it was her deeds that ultimately led her to this trial, this particular brand of fame and, most important, this shame.

So in the midst of this shockingly out-of-touch victim-blaming we're seeing as we follow Andrews' journey for justice, here is a reminder of all the bullshit this woman has had to deal with through no fault of her own.
