Sarah Phillips ESPN Photos Prompt Playbook, Covers Controversy

Sarah Phillips ESPN Photos Prompt Playbook, Covers Controversy



LOS ANGELES (LALATE) – Sarah Phillips ESPN photos and allegations about Ivy Smith pictures are dominating news confusion at Playbook and Covers.com today. Sarah Phillips ESPN pictures are also prompting memories of the ESPN Brooke Hundley Steve Phillips scandal as well. USA Today published an article today claiming “ESPN fires columnist as questions arise about her identity”. ESPN allegedly has confirmed that Phillips no longer works for ESPN; but the network gives no reason for her departure nor confirmation of the firing. But if you thought the ESPN Brooke Hundley Steve Phillips scandal of 2009 was confusing enough, this latest Phillips scandal originating from Deadspin could make your head spin.

Larry Brown Spots today claims that “Sarah Phillips exists” but allegedly “used pictures of a blond .. Ivy Smith for her identify”. Sarah Phillips most recently was a writer for ESPN’s Page 2, now Playbook. She previously wrote for Covers.com. Covers.com is a partner of USA TODAY Sports; but when USA Today news sought for a comment about the controversy, it got no response.

Before her ESPN exit, Sarah Phillips took to her Twitter account to tell news “I made poor choice with who to trust. I’ll correct that moving forward. It’s not an excuse.” BleacherReprot claims that “ESPN has fired Sarah Phillips” and adds “This comes on the heels of a detailed report from Deadspin.com, and Phillips’ comments on Twitter prove that ESPN was right to dissolve their relationship.”

Ivy Smith has yet to comment to news about the matter. But ESPN in a news statement to Deadspin claims “We’ve ended our freelance relationship with her.” ESPN did not use the words “firing” nor explain what happened.

The latest “Phillips” ESPN controversy is far more unclear than the Brooke Hundley Steve Phillips ESPN scandal of 2009. There, news had access to police reports, statements by Phillips’ wife, and more. And ironically, in that controversy, people were meeting each other face to face.

Steve Philips told police about Hundley that allegedly “I met Brooke Hundley for the first time on July 13th in St Louis, MO. She is a production assistant for remote game productions for ESPN. For the first time I met her in St Louis over a three week span I had a total of three … encounters with her. Those were the only three times I spent any time alone with her.“

He later claimed “This woman has clearly displayed erratic behavior and delusional tendencies. She has shown up at our house. She has taken on the identity of at least two people (minors) to violate our son (a minor). … I have extreme concerns about the health and safety of my wife, my kids and myself.“

After that scandal erupted, ESPN said very little about the matter. Phillips issued a news statement which read “I am deeply sorry that I have put my family and colleagues through this. It is a personal matter that I will not comment on further.” And ESPN initially told news “We were aware of this and took appropriate discipline at the time.”

Phillips told Deadspin this week “With the release of ESPN Playbook, and an increased emphasis on multimedia content, I’ll be on video now!” She added “So that will go a long ways in squashing this funny chain of rumors. Coincidentally, I actually think this weirdness has aided my ‘rise’ on ESPN. I’d love to do the interview when my video is available and maybe post my birth certificate like Obama or something quirky and funny. I think that would be awesome.”



Brooke Hundley Affair PHOTOS!

Brooke Hundley affair photos

PHOTOS! Here again are photos of ESPN’s Brooke Hundley. Brooke Hundley pics in the Steve Phillips EPSN affair are back in the news as Steve Phillips opens up to The Today Show Monday.

Brooke Hundley’s affair with Steve Phillips would have been the sports industry’s biggest affair story of 2009, if it wasn’t for Tiger Woods. Hundley’s affair myspace pics crashed many a server in one of the biggest sports scandals of 2009.

Today Phillips told NBC:

“I recognized in August, I needed help.I started calling facilities….I couldn’t stop myself from doing the things I was doing, even knowing the consequences ….All of that is in the past. My focus is moving forward, trying to save my family.”

We may never know when ESPN first learned about the Hundley Phillips affair.

Steve Philips’ statement to investigators included the following:

I met Brooke Hundley for the first time on July 13th in St Louis, MO. She is a production assistant for remote game productions for ESPN. For the first time I met her in St Louis over a three week span I had a total of three … encounters with her. Those were the only three times I spent any time alone with her.

While “only three times” was the phrase Phillips stressed then, today the story is much different, with Phillips seeking treatment for his “issues”. Shortly after the story broke, Phillips gave a statement that he was not going to comment on the matter since it was a “personal matter.” “I am deeply sorry that I have put my family and colleagues through this. It is a personal matter that I will not comment on further.” That changed Sunday, when Phillips’ rep said he is seeking treatment for his “personal issues”. His rep says Sunday said Steve Phillips “is voluntarily admitting himself to an in patient treatment facility to address his personal issues.”

Phillips had also said in his original statement against Hundley:

“On Monday August 17 while I was in LA I received a text from Brooke Hundley apologizing for what she done on Sunday and wishing that I wouldn’t ignore her so she could explain her actions. Later on Monday I got a text that said “I sincerely hope you have a great show”. The extreme swing of her emotions and communications were very alarming. I did not respond to her text in any way.”

Brooke Hundley Interview!

Posted: November 12th, 2009 in Brooke Hundley, Steve Phillips by LALATE

Brooke Hundley Interview


PICS! Here again are pics of Brooke Hundley who gave her first interview today. Brooke Hundley, the former Steve Phillips ESPN mistress, spoke about her scandal affair in an interview Thursday.

From myspace photos, to Marni Phillips’ reaction, Brooke Hundley said people were too quick to judge her. Really? In fact the Brooke Hundley story became one of the longest running, most detailed, affairs of 2009.

Steve Phillips would loose his job, loose his marriage, all for an affair Phillips claimed was short.

But Brooke Hundley says she’s the victim: “I think people are so quick to make a judgment, 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. I’ve been called things by the public that no woman should ever be called. … I’ve been called a home wrecker.”

Eventually Phillips would enter a treatment facility. Steve Phillips’ rep would confirm “is voluntarily admitting himself to an in patient treatment facility to address his personal issues.”

Hundley said of Marni Phillips’ 911 call during today’s interview:

“The same fear that I heard in her voice was similar fear to how I had felt. And I would never have wanted anybody else to feel, or to go through what I was going through.”

Back in August this year, Phillips’ wife Marni said she was very concerned for the safety of her and her children.

“On Sunday August 16 my husband called me from Atlanta and told me to brace myself because she was threatening to call me and disclose intimate details of their affair. .. The tone of the text message [she sent] was “I care about Steve, I make him happy and we both can’t have him”.

“At this point I began to feel a heightened sense of vulnerability as this woman was aware of my husband’s rigorous travel schedule. I was unable to sleep. I paced the perimeter of my house, constantly checking the safety of my sons.

Marni Phillips added:

“Needless to say, as a mother with four young sons, I am terrified. I fear greatly for the safety and well being of my sons and for myself. … I am currently pursuing drastic and costly security precautions such as hiring an off duty Wilton Police officer to stand guard.

ESPN finally had enough of Phillips

“Steve Philips 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.”

Steve Phillips Intern!

Steve Phillips Intern

PHOTOS! Here again are pictures of Steve Phillips’ Brooke Hundley whose been referred to as his mistress and girlfriend; but his intern? Brooke Hundley was a former ESPN intern; but when Phillips and her interacted, she was a production assistant.

Before the Brooke Hundley Steve Phillips affair broke here on Wednesday morning, the affair scandals of Rick Pitino and David Letterman seemed to be the end of the major mistress stories for 2009. So we all thought.

Phillips stressed to law enforcement in his statement that he had a “total of three .. encounters with her” “over a three week span”. And if that time frame is not specific enough for you, Phillips limited it further “those were the only three times I spent any time alone with her.”

Only three times? Those three times have no wcost Steve Philips his job (fired by ESPN Sunday) and his marriage (his wife filing for divorce).

While many are still trying to find answers as to what Phillips found attractive in Hundley, a new document claims that he pursued her.

A handwritten document by Hundley read “Steve brought me a strong drink and then cornered me with coming out of the bathroom with no one in sight trying to persuade me to come to his hotel suite to spend the night.”.

“Finally I gave in and agreed to see him a few times in parking lots .. then he began to spread word that i was just the office sl –t “

In August this years, Phillips’ wife Marni said she was very concerned for the safety of her and her children.

Following the affair, Phillips said: “I am deeply sorry that I have put my family and colleagues through this. It is a personal matter that I will not comment on further.” He did comment further, admitting he entered a treatment facility for his personal issue.

ESPN said they took care of Phillips’ conduct. “We were aware of this and took appropriate discipline at the time.” Obviously not enough discipline. Phillips would be fired last Sunday.

Brooke Hundley Myspace!

Brooke Hundley myspace

PHOTOS! Here again are myspace photos of ESPN’s Brooke Hundley. The Brooke Hundley Steve Phillips EPSN affair scandal took a new turn Sunday as Steve Phillips was fired by ESPN.

But as news of ESPN firing Steve Phillips surfaced Sunday, the obvious question remained unanswered – whatever happened to Hundley at ESPN? And what was Hundley’s employment situation during the entire scandal before it became public?

The Phillips’ son had accused Brooke Hundley with fake pics and a false identity of contacting him on Facebook and AOL.com AIM to obtain information about Phillips. Steve Phillips’ wife had said she had received a letter from Brooke Hundley that started with a “Hi Marni” line, only to proceed into the bizarre alleged details between the production assistant and the baseball analyst.

ESPN finally had enough of Phillips whose affair headlined all major news channels for three days until the weekend, each day yielding more bizarre twists and turns. Most recently, court papers revealed that mistress Brooke Hundley sought a restraining order against Phillips.

The handwritten document by Hundley read “Steve brought me a strong drink and then cornered me with coming out of the bathroom with no one in sight trying to persuade me to come to his hotel suite to spend the night.”

“Finally I gave in and agreed to see him a few times in parking lots .. then he began to spread word that i was just the office sl –t “
