TMZ has audio of Erin Andrews' 911 call, made last week after she spotted two men outside her home in Georgia. "I'm the girl that was videotaped without her knowing," she says by way of introduction.
Here's the sober-minded New York Post's story. You can listen to the call here. The transcript:
Dispatcher: DeKalb 911. What's the address of your emergency?
Andrews: Um, I was in the news recently about being in a hotel naked, and I have paparazzi outside my window, and I was told by law enforcement that if I did to call 911.
Dispatcher: Do you want to meet with an officer?
Dispatcher: Do you want to meet with an officer, ma'am, when they come out?
Andrews: Yeah, these guys are sitting in a car outside my house right now. I would like to tell the officer to have them leave because the cops have told me to call 911 if they're outside my house.
Dispatcher: And what's your name?
Andrews: My name is Erin. My last name is Andrews. I'm all over the news right now.
Dispatcher: I'm not familiar.
Andrews: I'm the girl that was videotaped without her knowing, without her clothes on in the hotel.
Dispatcher: Really?
Andrews: And I've got two assholes sitting outside my house.
Dispatcher: I'm so sorry.
Andrews: I am, too. Thank you.
Dispatcher: We'll send someone out. What kind of vehicle are they in?
Andrews: They're in a RAV, a white RAV4. I'm in a gated community, and I don't know how they got in. Mom, can you see their license plates? It's a handicap license plate they have. What's the license plate number?
Dispatcher: What's the tag number?
Andrews: We're trying to see. Do you see it, Mom? OK, I'm gonna try and go to another room and see if I can read it. I can't believe these jerks are knocking on my door. Fucking assholes. Mom, you're totally being obvious.
Dispatcher: Are they black, white or Hispanic?
Andrews: What?
Dispatcher: Are they black, white or Hispanic?
Andrews: They're both white males. I think it's — they know I'm here, 'cause I have a car out front. So they know I'm inside. I have private security that I'm working with, but they're not with me currently, and they said call 911. OK, here's the license plate. It's a handicap license plate for Georgia.
Andrews: They're looking at me through my window.
Dispatcher: Are you OK?
Andrews: Yeah, I'm just — I did nothing wrong, and I'm being treated like fucking Britney Spears, and it sucks. I'm sorry.
Dispatcher: OK, the first available unit will see you as soon as possible.
Andrews: Thanks. Do you know how far they're out?
Dispatcher: No. They should be in — they'll be here as soon as possible.
Andrews: OK.
Dispatcher: OK, thank you.
Andrews: Thanks.
TMZ says the reporters left without incident. To the lunatic fringe out there that believes beyond all reason and sense that Erin Andrews is somehow basking in the attention now, I think "Mom, can you see their license plates?" is a pretty clear rejoinder.
