Erin Andrews: The Fight Of Her Life (Part 1) | Megyn Kelly | NBC News

[@carmenmorris580]

“Makes me wanna take about 80 showers” Breaks my freaking heart because I know so many young girls and women who have felt this way because of a sick man at some point in their life time, including myself.

[@Gary-sx5ox]

I am a 60 year old father and made the decision to talk to my 26 year old son about what happened to Erin. It was the right decision. We, of course, would never view what is out there because of our respect for her. I know my son and I don’t speak for a lot of males, but we just want you to know there are still good men out there. We are both so sorry for what happened to you. You are obviously a good and decent person and didn’t deserve this. Our thoughts and prayers are with Erin.

[@danielladerobbio2140]

Gary Bilder I appreciate this. This isn’t an easy conversation to have, but you did the right thing. Kudos to you!

I am going to be honest, I only know the Erin Andrews from DWTS because I am not much into sports. I have always envied her strong attitude and of course her beauty. I was so astonished at how accomplished she is in sports and has risen because of who she is and her knowledge too. I am even more amazed at how she wears bravery like a badge. Erin, there is an adage that stays "Courage is not the absent of fear, but acting in spite of it." WTG.

[@mjohnson1741]

@@AlwaysHalloween000 How? Just how?? Her "employment and money making power" could have been compromised? huh what? How?? She's a victim of a hidden camera? If a company was to not hire her because of her victimization then that's a discrimination. And also, if you're saying this would be a compensation for her unemployable status (let's just pretend), how is she ever going to make that much money in her lifetime IF she were to make that kind of money legitimately? I feel for her and I wish this would have never happened to her, but all I'm saying this the amount of money she got was over the top.
