Erin Andrews: Getting Death Threats

Erin-Andrews-Dancing-with-the-stars

Erin Andrews, who is currently on Dancing With The Stars, has been getting death threats emailed to the website of The Dan Patrick Show.

But she's not letting it get in the way of performing her waltz with partner, Maksim Chmerkovskiy. She told People.com
I'm glad I'm here. I have a dance on Monday and I don't want to let Maks down, I don't want to let my family down, and I don't want to let myself down.  I'm not going to stop living my life.

Andrews is a sports sideline reporter for ESPN and has appeared on The Dan Patrick Show before but never on the days the eight emails were sent. Andrews was unaware of the emails being sent to the show until they became violent.  The Dan Patrick Show says the emails began last September and were originally sexual, when they turned violent, however, the FBI and Andrews were alerted.

Andrews is reportedly furious that DirecTV didn't tell her about the emails when they originally started.  There were three violent emails, the violence depicted escalating with each one.   According to a TMZ source they were sent by a man in Newport News, VA and he made several threats, one was to gun her down in L.A.  and the other two emails said "Someone should shoot her in the face", and "I'm one in a million, she'll never see me coming."

Security has been beefed up on the set of Dancing With The Stars.

SCARY!! First she was stalked by a peeping tom and now death threats!?
