ESPN reporter Erin Andrews thought her career was over after secretly taped nude footage of her began circulating on the Internet.

Andrews appeared on "The Oprah Winfrey Show" on Friday in a 10-minute segment taped Aug. 27. This was her first interview on the topic and it was part of the show's kickoff to its 24th season.

Andrews was composed in talking about the "nightmare" of knowing the blurry five-minute video was on the Internet and being harassed by paparazzi after the story became news in July.

Andrews learned about the video from a friend, but initially laughed off the possibility it could be of her. After she watched it at his urging, the first thing she did was call her parents.

"I kept screaming: 'I'm done. My career is over. I'm done. Get it off. Get it off the Internet,'" said Andrews, her eyes watering as she remembered talking to her father. "They thought I was physically injured, (that's) how bad I was screaming."....................................

Bullshit. She's damn near a household name now because of it. She's gonna get a fat payday from ESPN when they realize ratings are up when she's there. I'm still not convinced this wasn't staged for publicity, and she's feigning outrage to appeal to the blue-hairs that are "shocked" at this kind of thing.

I happened to catch the Oprah interview and I came out of it thinking that the video was more than likely a publicity stunt. Before seeing the interview, I thought that theory was far-fetched.

it was a publicity stunt...they would already have the name of the person(maybe arrested?) who uploaded that video to some random site waaay back in feb.
