Stalking Incident

Erin’s life in 2008 was plagued by a stalking incident, in which a man named Michael David Barrett set up hidden cameras in her hotel rooms in two incidents. The first happened while she was staying at the Radisson Airport Hotel, and the video of her naked went viral and spread through the internet. A second tape was later discovered, and subsequently the FBI would arrest Barrett for interstate stalking. He was later sentenced to two years and six months in prison, and would serve his sentence until 2012.

It did not stop there, however, as Erin would go on to sue him along with Marriot International, Radisson Hotels, and five other entities for negligence and invasion of privacy. She alleged that hotel employees gave Barrett information about her hotel stay, and gave away a room next to hers. She followed it up with a complaint in 2015 asking $75 million in damages from both Nashville Marriot and Barrett. The following year, after a two-week trial, she was awarded $55 million as the jury found both the hotel management company and Barrett fully responsible for what transpired.
