ESPN’s “Baseball Tonight” analyst Steve Phillips has been suspended for a week, after admitting to having an affair with a 22-year-old production assistant.
Phillips confessed to his wife Marni Phillips and local police that he had a long-term affair with ESPN assistant Brooke Hundley, 22, several times this summer before dumping her.
Brooke has reportedly sent disturbing phone calls and a letter that bragged about her sexual relationship with Phillips to his wife Marni Phillips.
Phillips was forced to involve police in the situation, and the media caught wind of the news shortly thereafter.
“I have extreme concerns about the health and safety of my kids and myself,” Steve Phillips said in a Wilton, Conn., police statement, adding that Brooke Hundley had become “obsessive and delusional” after he dumped her.
According to reports, Hundley contacted Philips’ 16-year-old son on Facebook.
“She said that she had overheard my mom telling someone at my brother’s baseball game that my dad really likes someone at work and is probably going to move out and that if I need to talk to anyone, she would be willing to listen because her parents went through the same thing,” the boy told cops.
“She asked inappropriate questions about my parents, such as: Do they sleep in the same bed? Do you think they will be getting a divorce? Do they fight a lot?” the youth added.
This isn’t the first time the former Met general manager had an affair with another women. in 1998, Phillips took a week-long leave of absence from the team after admitting to having sex with Mets employee Rosa Rodriguez. He returned to the team after settling her lawsuit for an undisclosed amount. The Mets fired him in 2003.
ESPN has declined comment.
