The ESPN production assistant Brook Hundley and ESPN baseball analyst Steve Phillip scandal was out in the circuit since the past few days and it was making quite a huge buzz in the media world. Brooke, Steve and his wife Marni, immediately became the most searched people in Google. The internet was blazing with searches of Marni Phillip’s and Brooke Hundley’s pictures and scoops regarding the scandals.
We all knew that ESPN asked Steve to take leave for seven days as the matter was creating a huge hype and was hampering the image of the channel. Last night during the American League Championship Series, in which Phillips normally would have been in the studio, it was announced that “Steve Phillips is no longer working for ESPN.”
“His ability to be an effective representative for ESPN has been significantly and irreparably damaged, and it became evident it was time to part ways,” said the network.
Phillips’ representative said in an e-mail that his client “is voluntarily admitting himself to an inpatient treatment facility to address his personal issues, and informed ESPN of his plans Friday.”
