At the time, there was intense media coverage of reports someone had surreptitiously taped her through a peephole into her hotel room. Andrews told the 911 operator that two men she believed to be in the media were parked outside her house in a gated community.

“I have been in the news recently about being in the hotel naked and I have paparazzi outside my window and I was told by law enforcement that if I did to call 911,” Andrews said on the recording placed on the TMZ.com Web site Thursday. “I did nothing wrong and I’m being treated like [expletive] Britney Spears and it sucks.”

The operator said a Dunwoody police officer had been dispatched, according to the tape of the July 22 call.

“They know I’m inside,” Andrews said. I” have private security that I’m working with, but they’re not with me currently and they said call 911 ... I’m in a gated community. I don’t know how they got in.”
