A Fox Sports broadcaster and current Dancing with the Stars co-host, Andrews found herself at the center of some unwanted attention in 2009 when Michael David Barrett, who has since served 2.5 years in prison, tampered with a peephole at the Marriott at Vanderbilt. Barrett used his position to record a video of Andrews while she was in her hotel room, later releasing the tape online.
The hotel found its way into the suit after allowing Barrett to find out that Andrews was staying at the hotel and then failing to inform Andrews that Barrett had specifically booked the room next to hers.
