Erin Andrews on Oprah - Sept 11th.

Oprah Winfrey's new season airs on Sept 8th. In preperation for the show, Oprah has been pre-taping shows. On Sept 11th, Oprah will air her interview with ESPN reporter Erin Andrews.

Erin discusses the nightmare of being secretly video taped nude which was distributed on the Internet. She says she will never forget when she "opened up the computer (and) could feel my heart pounding."

The blurry five-minute video was shot at a hotel and Erin had no knowledge that she was being taped. Andrew's attorney plans to seek criminal charges and file lawsuits against whoever shot the video as well as anyone who publishes the video.


The reporter also says she's excited to get back to work this fall, adding "it's really going to help me heal my wounds."

You will be able to catch Andrews on the air Thursday night as the sideline reporter for ESPN's broadcast of South Carolina at North Carolina State.

When the video first appeared, it was not clear that it was Andrews. The person who originally posted the video did not identify the woman. Andrews' attorney is the one who confirmed that the video was of Andrews... Opps! I'd would have kept that to myself. Deny, Deny, Deny....

Andrews, a former University of Florida dance team member, was an Internet sensation even before the video's circulation. Some Web sites have referred to her as "Erin Pageviews" because of the traffic she can generate, and Playboy magazine named her "sexiest sportscaster" in both 2008 and 2009.
