$28 million from the creep that stalked her, got a video of her nude getting out of shower, and posted it on the Internet. He can’t pay that, but he should spend the rest of his life paying her every penny that can be extracted.
$27 million from the hotel chain. Probably too much, but seriously, in this day and age, what hotel chain gives out the room number of a celebrity and allows a stranger to request a room next to her? Through no fault of her own, her career trajectory has been permanently changed. To top it off, after the suit was filed, a hotel executive was apparently overhead at a public restaurant saying something to the effect of “if we’re going to get sued I’m going to get my money’s worth” and showing the videos on his cell phone.
Probably none. A single employee taking a bribe doesn't seem that unlikely, however.
What state was this in? If the state recognizes joint and several liability, then the hotel chain gets hit with the whole $55 million.
