Erin Andrews Cries During Dad's Testimony In Stalker's Trial

Published | Updated

Erin Andrews broke down in court when her father took the stand in the trial of the man who secretly recorded her nude in her hotel room.

Andrews is suing Michael David Barrett and Marriott hotels over the infamous videos he shot through a peep hole in an adjoining hotel room to Erin's. Her father, Steve Andrews, testified in a Nashville courtroom about how the recordings devastated his daughter.

He said, "She's afraid. She's afraid of crowds, afraid of people. She doesn't trust anymore."

He added that Erin puked just thinking about watching the videos. The FBI had asked her to view the clips to help agents find clues about who shot them.

Barrett got a 2 year prison sentence after pleading guilty to interstate stalking.

The FOX Sports and "Dancing With the Stars" host filed a civil suit for $75 million.
