ESPN announced yesterday that Baseball Tonight analyst Steve Phillips was terminated from the company on Sunday just days after his affair with a production assistant became public. Both Phillips, 46 and mistress, Brooke Hundley, 22, were fired from the sports news franchise. In a statement released by ESPN the company said "his ability to be an effective representative for ESPN has been significantly and irreparably damaged, and it became evident that it was time to part ways." Reportedly, Phillips has checked into a treatment facility for sexual addicts.
It looks like Phillips is 0-2 in the mistress department. An earlier trist with a Met intern back in the late 1990's didn't lead to his eventual termination, but did lead to a sexual harrassment lawsuit. Phillips is also looking at "a simpler kind of life" as his wife of 18 years has filed for divorce after being harrassed by Hundley. The former production assistant reportedly lost it when Phillips decided to end the affair. Hundley sent harrassing calls and text messages to Phillips' wife and contacted his teenaged son on Facebook. Phillips has openly acknowledging his affair with the paranoid post-grad. Thus confirming his own mental instability.
