NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- A jury has awarded Erin Andrews $55 million in her lawsuit over a secretly recorded nude video that a stalker took of her in a hotel room and posted online.

The jury came back with its decision Monday after about a day of deliberations.

Attorneys for the owner and former operator of the Marriott at Vanderbilt argued that while what happened to Andrews was terrible, the convicted stalker, Michael David Barrett, should be solely to blame for the video shot in 2008.

The jury found Barrett to be 51 percent at fault and ordered him to pay $28 million of the verdict.
