Supposedly, the woman was curling her hair unclothed while doing squat-like moves in front of the mirror. The next day,Andrews authorized her attorney to issue a statement via PRNewswire verifying that the woman in the video was her and that the video was made without her knowledge or consent. It was determined that the video was originally uploaded to the video site Dailymotion on February 17, 2009, and had been available via Google Search for months.
