Maybe if you'd stop being a Neanderthal for a moment you'd realize she is incredibly talented as a sports reporter, and happens to be good looking. I guess is a required part of the internet tough guy act around here to personally attack people with whom you disagree. Good job there tough guy. I am sorry but we simply disagree on this one. I think the nut job who did this has already spent a non-trivial amount of time in jail for his criminal offense and that the civil jury here simply saw a deep pockets opportunity to stick a "monopoly money" type award to the hotel chain. If you do not think that Erin Edwards has actively been selling sex as part of her "act" then you are not seeing the same internet pictures as I am. Give her another few years and she will doubtless complain that she is being shunted aside in favor of a younger, more attractive replacement. All the while conveniently forgetting that this very bias is a large part of how she got the job in the first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

varjet Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 She is very athletic and well put together. She photographed very well in her fitness features. The fact that she can also speak intelligently makes her pretty marketable. But she is a good example of another attractive, successful woman who goes out with a questionable guy. Her NHL player boyfriend was arrested in Las Vegas for drug possession (ectasy, cocaine) while engaging in all types of trouble. All was not good enough at home?

Fifty one percent comes from the pervert who video taped her. This guy has no significant wealth, and she'll be lucky to get anything from him. Forty nine percent comes from Marriott's insurance policy. Since this is a non-physical injury settlement, it is taxable and will be taxed at around forty percent. We're already down to $10 million before any court and lawyer fees are even taken into consideration. That huge $55 million dollar award will end up being in the single digit millions. She deserves every penny. So this isn't going to bring down the Marriot empire as we know it and cost millions of hard-working workers their jobs? This isn't going to soil the sanctity of Ron Goldman's memory? Is that what you're saying here? Sounds like legalese trickery to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gas2No99 Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 So if she got $55M for a peephole video of her walking around naked, how much does the Hulkster get from Gawker for the invasion of his privacy due to that sex tape they publicly released? Hulk Hogan Takes Stand in His Sex-Tape Lawsuit Against Gawker ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Taking the stand as the first witness in his $100 million invasion-of-privacy lawsuit against the website Gawker, the former wrestling champion Hulk Hogan told a jury on Monday that he had been “completely humiliated” by the public release of a video that showed him having sex with his now-former best friend’s wife. The 62-year-old plaintiff — whose real name is Terry Gene Bollea — insisted he was unaware that a camera was recording the encounter, which he said had occurred only because his marriage was falling apart and his friend and his friend’s wife kept insisting that he have sex with her. “I was depressed,” Mr. Bollea, wearing his trademark black bandanna pulled low over his forehead, told the six-person jury in Pinellas County Circuit Court. “I gave up and gave in. I felt that those people loved me.” The trial, which is expected to last at least two or three weeks, is the latest prominent legal battle to highlight the murky line between the right to privacy and the right to free speech. Both sides have pointed to potential ramifications of the case: Mr. Bollea’s lawyers cautioned that the privacy of many Americans could be compromised, while Gawker cited the damage a guilty verdict would inflict on long-held freedoms of the press. In opening arguments, Shane Vogt, a lawyer for the former wrestler, said that Gawker and its editors had deliberately shown his client “naked and exposed to the world” for six months on the site, generating millions of views, despite repeated requests by Mr. Bollea to take the video down. Mr. Vogt said that the situation had caused extreme “emotional distress and harm” to his client, a central point in Mr. Bollea’s pursuit of damages in the case. “If they had taken down the video,” Mr. Vogt said, “we wouldn’t be here today.” The 30-minute video, apparently filmed in 2007 and later provided to Gawker, garnered five million page views when it was posted in an abridged version on the site in 2012 and 2.5 million views on other sites that posted it subsequently, Mr. Bollea’s lawyer said. In posting the video, he continued, Gawker allowed the public to watch Mr. Bollea having sex in a private bedroom without his knowledge or consent. Gawker’s founder, Nick Denton, and its former editor, A. J. Daulerio, who is also named in the suit, “knowingly and maliciously” published what Mr. Vogt called the pornographic images for the sole purpose of financial gain. The posts violated Florida law, he said — specifically a measure that prohibits the publication of private communications without permission — as well as basic human decency. “They’re going to try to tell you that what they were doing was news,” Mr. Vogt said, in an effort to dismiss a crucial element of the defense’s case: that the activities of well-known people are a subject of public concern. “They crossed the line when they posted this video. It was not newsworthy.” In his opening statement, a lawyer for the Gawker team, Michael Berry, told the jury that videotapes featuring celebrities like Paris Hilton and Kim Kardashian having sex have become a “cultural phenomenon,” and that such images are of interest to the public and therefore protected by the First Amendment. Mr. Bollea himself had encouraged and participated in efforts to disseminate facts and commentary about the most intimate details of his life, Mr. Berry said. Describing the former wrestler as “a real American hero” and, when he was younger, “the ultimate object of desire,” Mr. Berry said the plaintiff had been more than willing for years to talk about his sex life, including in two autobiographies, on a reality television series called “Hogan Knows Best” and on Howard Stern’s radio show. This flow of information about his life was fine, Mr. Berry said, “until he didn’t like what Gawker had to say.’’ Mr. Bollea, who will continue testifying on Tuesday, openly discussed the video at issue in an appearance on a television show run by the website TMZ and said he did not know who the woman with him was because he had been “running wild” with several women at the time, Mr. Berry said, quoting an earlier statement by Mr. Bollea. In fact, she was Heather Clem, who was then married to Todd Clem, Mr. Bollea’s onetime friend and a radio “shock-jock” whose legal name is Bubba the Love Sponge. The former wrestler also sued the Clems after the tape became public, a case that was settled out of court. Testimony by Ms. Clem, videotaped in a deposition on Jan. 26, 2015, was shown on screens in the courtroom before Mr. Bollea took the stand. She said that her husband, from whom she is separated, “could be intimidating and hurtful” and “would berate you until you did what he wanted.” Although she did not explicitly say so, Ms. Clem seemed to be suggesting that having sex with Mr. Bollea was something her husband had insisted upon. She also said that she played no part in disseminating the video and that she did not discuss with her husband who might have done so. In his testimony, Mr. Bollea said he had been stunned to learn that the man he considered his best friend, who acknowledged having an “open marriage,” might have used a camera installed in the bedroom to record the sexual encounter. Mr. Bollea said the entire experience was “surreal.” “Everything had gone to hell in a handbag,” Mr. Bollea said, describing a period in 2012 when the tape became public. “I still held out the hope that he had not done this to me.” When he learned that his friend’s voice could be heard at the end of the tape suggesting to his wife that they would be able to retire on the money they might make from selling the video, Mr. Bollea said, “my hands just started shaking.” “He made me believe that he was my best friend and that he would never lie to me,” said Mr. Bollea, who noted that he often had difficulty establishing close friendships. Under cross-examination, Mr. Bollea acknowledged that when he was “in character” as Hulk Hogan, he would often strike a fictional pose and did not tell the truth, as when he asserted in television and radio interviews in 2012 that he had watched the video on Gawker. He now claims he has never seen it. “I also said I body-slammed Moby Dick and pulled a bumper off a Cadillac,” he said. “It gives you artistic license to be a jerk.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Her stalker was given access to her by the hotel, which is a big part of what the verdict was about, if I'm not mistaken. Hogan concocted a plan with his low-life buddy for him to bang his wife, film it, leak it, then sue the first outlet that posts it. Hogan is going for a money grab/scam, which there is history to suggest is in his character. He wasn't stalked. His stalker didn't get access to him. For all intents and purposes, he opted into the sex part. Hogan isn't suing the people who filmed him, or any 3rd party that helped facilitate it. He's suing the media outlet that made it available. In that regard, it's completely different. Hogan isn't even going after the people that did it to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
