ESPN baseball analyst Steve Phillips was fired on Sunday night, one week after it was revealed that he had engaged in an affair with 22-year-old production assistant Brooke Hundley.
Network spokesman Josh Krulewitz said, “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.”
Phillips, 46, “is voluntarily admitting himself to an inpatient treatment facility to address his personal issues, and informed ESPN of his plans Friday”, according to his rep Steve Lefkowitz.
