Am I the only one that feels 75 million is a little much for a blurry ass picture where you can't even see anything? This lawsuit seems pretty frivolous to me. It hasn't hurt her career at all.
Pretty sure all the links have been taken down. I'd have to put it in a dropbox or something, its on my laptop
I think it's appalling to suggest that the quality of the video or the path of her career have anything to do with a punitive lawsuit designed to make people think twice about invading the privacy of other people. The idea of the lawsuit isn't to financially gain, but to punish those responsible to an extent that they take the issue seriously and take steps to avoid it from happening again. That she has continued a broadcast career after such an invasion of her privacy shows a lot of moxie. It's bad enough being in the spotlight already makes her an object to be sexualized. I'm sure she (and other women) are able to look past it as a means to achieve their professional goals. However, to know that someone was able to capture video of someone in a vulnerable moment without consent and then to know it's out there floating around the internet for eternity has to be unbelievably humiliating. This guy calls up the Marriott and asks if she is staying there. When he receives confirmation, he books a room next to her. He didn't just coincidentally get the room next to her. He specifically asked for the room next to her. He did this three times, following her to Nashville, Columbus and Milwaukee, getting actual video footage twice. Hotels shouldn't be releasing that kind of information for obvious reasons as a matter of policy. $75 million seems reasonable to me. I'd sue for triple that.
Would this really emotionally wreck someone? I would think "oops, there's my weiner, why the fuck was I dancing around like that?" I guess it's different for girls but I wouldn't think about it after I turned the video off.
I think everyone here would agree to get filmed naked all day long for a lot less than 75 million........noone really cared who she was until she got filmed, her career has skyrocketed since......well played EA.
I don't think it's unreasonable. Exactly how do you know if it's hurt her career or not? Do you think she is the "same person" with the same confidence as she was before? Do people judge her differently? The answers are no and yes. Absolutely. You aren't on national TV doing a job in a "man's world" and trying to maintain legitimacy. The last thing she would want is to be trivialized and objectified through the unauthorized use of her private person i.e. nude video. It goes well beyond that anyway. She had every expectation of privacy and security within that hotel room. The hotel gave her room number to a total stranger and then gave him the room next door! He spied on her, watched her naked, video taped it, and then put it online when he couldn't sell it. This is a horrible violation and I guarantee you it's changed who she is. Do you think she ever completely relaxes or feels safe when she's traveling? The dude could have wanted to harm her, maybe raped and kill her. Would you be okay if someone did that to your wife, sister, daughter? And girls? Really? I think that's half the problem. And I guarantee you if you had a job where your national reputation and livelihood was on the line, you'd do more than just turn the video off. This peckerhead owns the hotel group that is going to end up paying. I don't feel too bad about it.
