Steve Phillips

Steve Phillips is a former ESPN baseball analyst and was previously General Manager of the New York Mets. In February 2010, he was released from the same sex addiction clinic that Tiger Woods went to in Hattiesburg, Mississippi.

He was fired from ESPN after admitting to an affair with a 22-year-old production assistant at the network. ESPN said that Phillips' ability to be an effective analyst was "significantly and irreparably damaged" after the affair. A representative for Phillips said his client planned to admit himself to an "inpatient treatment facility to address his personal issues."

Phillips had admitted to an affair with a production assistant, Brooke Hundley. The affair turned into a "Fatal Attraction"-style relationship, with Hundley taunting Phillips' wife, Marni, over the phone and sending a letter to her bragging about the sexual relationship. Phillips confessed to his wife and police that he had slept with Hundley several times over the summer.http://www.nypost.com/p/news/national/affair_is_foul_for_espn_star_bLw9UoSAQJwJLU4ZDXvvDO

Phillips has admitted infidelity in the past. While GM of the Mets, he took a leave of absence of 8 days after being accused of sexual harassment. Phillips settled out of court and kept his job, but admitted to several consensual affairs.http://www.nytimes.com/1998/11/26/sports/baseball-mets-settle-claim-of-harassment.html?n=Top/Reference/Times%20Topics/Subjects/S/Sexual%20Harassment
