Stolen Photos
In January 2018, photos of the Fox Sports personality were leaked online after being stolen from her iCloud. She said for Fox News:
”When it comes to your physical being and intimate photos between you and your boyfriend and things that you sent to someone when you were in a long-distance relationship and in love, it is your private property.”
Charissa continued:
”So it felt — the obvious — like such an invasion. But then the depths I am still taking to get back that privacy are unbelievable.”
Thompson continued:
”The way I equate is someone came into my home, robbed my home of all its possessions, put it out in the cul-de-sac right in front of me, and I had to buy all of it right back to put back in my house.”
Charissa also said that the first person she called after finding out about the stolen photos was Erin Andrews (a sideline reporter for Fox NFL and a host for Dancing with the Stars for ABC), who herself had been secretly recorded at a hotel room through the peephole in 2008.
The nude photos were pulled from the internet thanks to a cease and desist letter from Thompson’s lawyer, Andrew Brettler.
Andrew stated in an interview:
”I think that it’s important that the responsible individual or individuals are held accountable for this because it’s a disgusting invasion of my client’s privacy rights.”
