Sportscaster Erin Andrews has triumphed in a Nashville courtroom and then ignited social media by winning a $55 million judgment against the stalker who filmed her nude and the hotel where the incident occurred, but her spectacular seeming victory will certainly turn into a far smaller payout, predicts The Hollywood Reporter.
“Her stalker, Michael Barrett, is on the hook for $28 million of that judgment, but Andrews will never see that money. ‘They can garnish his wages, but there’s essentially nothing to collect,’ says Rick Sanders, a litigator based in Nashville and a partner at Aaron & Sanders. ‘He’s a perfect example of a judgment-proof defendant,'” the report says.
The Nashville Marriott and the company that operates the hotel were held responsible for almost $27 million, but it’s unlikely that the plaintiff will collect that amount either.
