Brooke Hundley, the former ESPN production assistant who had an affair with ESPN baseball analyst Steve Philips, wen on Good Morning America today to give her side of the story.

“I had a friend come stay with me because he was concerned … that mentally I would not be able to take much more,” a teary-eyed Hundley told Kate Snow of ABC’s “Good Morning America.”

“I’ve been called things by the public that no woman should ever be called,” she said. “I couldn’t go a day without getting, you know, 200 messages in my inbox from people that have never met me, just labeling, just calling me names. I’ve been called the ‘C’ word. I’ve been called a whore. I’ve been called a homewrecker.”

Hundley, 22, said she reached her breaking point when “legitimate” newspapers began running with the story,

“I think people are so quick to make a judgment without ever … I don’t know if they want to know the details,” Hundley said. “It’s almost like, ‘Here’s a great story. Here’s a great chance for me to destroy a person,’ without any sense of really thinking about the fact that there’s a human being behind those words.”

Hundley, who said she was never the one pushing the relationship, hopes Phillips “would grow up and take responsibility for his own actions.”

Marni Phillips, Steve’s wife had filed for divorce back on September 14th and the ESPN network had fired him. “His ability to be an effective representative for ESPN has been significantly and irreparable damaged, and it became evident it was time to part ways.” stated Josh Krulewitz, a network spokesman.

Soon after Phillips admitted himself in to a sex rehab clinic, where he was been maintaining a low profile.
