ESPN Analyst, Steve Phillips, had sexual encounters with ESPN colleague, Brook Hundley- a Production Assistant at ESPN. Steve Phillips threatened to get her fired if she ever said anything about it to anyone. According to Brook Hundley, he threatened to "ruin more than my reputation," . http://www.nydailynews.com/ny_local/2009/10/23/2009-10-23_steve_phillips_mistress_brooke_hundley_filed_restraining_order__day_after_fatal_.html
Interviewed on ABC television this morning, Brook Hundley justified her decision to write a note to his wife about the affair so there could be someone equally as angry as she was to bring the scandal to public attention. According to Hundley, she decided to write his wife the letter because Human Resource department at ESPN had not done alot about her situation when she approached and told them about the affair and the threats from Steve Phillips. The ethical concerns here range from whether or not this relationship should ever have existed, to Steve Phillips initially denying the claims, then threatening Hundley with getting her fired, to ESPN suspending Brook Hundley from her job , but keeping Steve Phillips on his job until a few months later.
All the parties involved are media persons who violated media ethics!
