By A. Scott WaltonApparently, the message hasn't gotten through to ESPN's Erin Andrews that the public's grown tired of her personal pity party.
Perhaps the uninviting portrayal of her in the August edition of Vanity Fair magazine will bring the sports network's "sideline reporter" to the realization we collectively have more dire crises to attend to then hers.
In an awkward and scathing question-answer session with the glossy’s celebrity news editor George Wayne, Andrews comes across as a selfish poseur who was granted a prime opportunity for positive exposure but, “(clearly) was not in the mood for any lighthearted banter.”
The sexy star who corrals coaches and players during college football halftime shows was victimized in 2009 by a cyber-stalker who posted illegally-obtained nude images of her on the web. In the aftermath: the seedy character was caught and sent to prison; Andrews (32) announced plans to move away from Atlanta for the bright lights of Manhattan; she wore a series of “barely there” ensembles during a failed attempt to win “Dancing With The Stars”; and she recently inked new deals to report for both ESPN and ABC’s “Good Morning America”.
Andrews’ ongoing whimpering about “everything that I have been through”, juxtaposed against the gallery of Vanity Fair photos she posed for (clingy dresses, stiletto heels, alluring poses), smacks of hypocrisy. And if she’s so opposed to the objectification of women, why did refer to herself as “the human pretzel” and speak so precisely about her body measurements?
At the very beginning of Wayne’s article on Andrews, it’s pointed out that she was born under the sign of Taurus. In a back-handed way, Vanity Fair seems to be hinting that Andrews is full of bull.
