Erin Andrews marries ex-NHL player Stoll

NEW YORK

Sportscaster Erin Andrews and former NHL player Jarret Stoll have tied the knot.

Publicists for Andrews confirm that the 39-year-old Fox Sports sideline reporter and “Dancing with the Stars” co-host married Stoll on Saturday, his 35th birthday.

People magazine first reported the nuptials. According to the magazine, the wedding was held at sunset in Montana in front of a small group of family and friends. Andrews wore a gown designed by Carolina Herrera.

The couple, who started dating in 2012, got engaged in December at Disneyland.

The wedding follows a rocky year for Andrews.

In September 2016, she was diagnosed with cervical cancer, months after winning a stalking lawsuit. She settled with two hotel companies that were found partially to blame for the stalker, who got a hotel room next to hers and posted nude video of her on the internet.

Stoll played in the NHL for 13 years, for Edmonton, Los Angeles, Minnesota and the New York Rangers.

Spokeswoman: Cosby town hall’s about education, not assault

LOS ANGELES

A spokeswoman for Bill Cosby is clarifying the purpose of the comedian’s planned town hall meetings after she and a colleague initially appeared to draw a link between the meetings and his mistrial on felony charges of sexual assault.

“I just want to be clear,” Ebonee Benson told CNN. “The town hall meetings are not about sexual assault. I will repeat: These town hall meetings are not about sexual assault.”

The town halls are aimed at restoring Cosby’s legacy, and that’s what she and fellow Cosby spokesman Andrew Wyatt meant to say during an Alabama TV station interview last week. Cosby was tried on charges stemming from an encounter with former Temple University worker Andrea Constand, who alleged that Cosby drugged and molested her in 2004.

Cosby, 79, contends the encounter was consensual.

In last Wednesday’s interview with Birmingham station WBRC, Wyatt said:

“We’ll talk to young people. Because this is bigger than Bill Cosby. You know, this, this issue can affect any young person, especially young athletes of today.

“And they need to know what they’re facing when they’re hanging out and partying, when they’re doing certain things they shouldn’t be doing,” he said, adding, “And it also affects married men.”

Benson, who had read comments from Cosby’s wife, Camille, slamming prosecutors after the trial ended with a hung jury, said in that WBRC interview that people need to be aware of changing laws regarding sexual assault, including on statute of limitations.

Their interview resulted in an outcry over the plans for the town halls.
