ErinAndrewsCourt

Sportscaster and former Dancing With the Stars co-host Erin Andrews has been awarded $55 million by a Nashville jury.

Closing arguments ended last Friday in the highly publicized civil lawsuit over the secret recording and release of a video showing her naked during a hotel stay.

The jury found the stalker who made the video, Michael David Barrett, 51 percent at fault while they found West End Hotel Partners, which owns and operates the Nashville Marriott where the infamous video was taken, to be 49 percent at fault. That breaks down to Barrett being required to pay out more than $28 million while West End will be on the hook for $26 million.

The jury deliberated today for 6 hours before reaching their verdict.

Here is a full courtroom video of the verdict being read (cue to the 4:00 mark):
