ESPN analyst Phillips in 'Fatal Attraction' scandal
TV baseball analyst Steve Phillips had a brief affair with an ESPN production assistant who taunted his wife with "Fatal Attraction"-like phone calls and a letter that bragged about her sexual encounters with Phillips after being dumped, The New York Post reported.
The former New York Mets general manager told his wife and police he slept with Brooke Hundley, 22, multiple times this summer before dumping her.
The woman repeatedly phoned Phillips' wife, Marni, saying, "We both can't have him!" the police report says.

Between marriages, when I was dating younger women, I used to say “you’re as young as the woman you’re sleeping with.” Although the girl is a beast, Phillips is 46 and she’s 22.

Cat's out of the bag...
In the letter, the newspaper reported, Hundley details her affair with Phillips, and mentions “a big birthmark on his crotch . . . and one on his left inner thigh, so you know I’m not being fake.”
Now that this is public knowledge, how is the next coworker that Phillips boinks going to prove she’s “not being fake”?

And this isn't the first time he's gotten in trouble for this kind of thing, mind you
For a brief stint in 1998, Phillips took a leave of absence as general manager because of a sexual harassment suit. He admitted to consensual sex with the woman who filed the suit, as well as multiple other affairs, but denied harassment and the civil suit was settled out of court. Phillips was away from the team for a total of 8 days. The Mets defended Phillips privately and publicly, and the alleged victim’s attorney was even quoted as believing in his sincerity.2

Considering she’s married to Steve Phillips, she’s probably relieved he’s turning his attentions elsewhere instead of pestering her.
Also, I think I saw elsewhere that she’s filed for divorce.

whee, even creepier
Phillips’ wife, Marni, called police Aug. 19 when she came home to find Hundley in her driveway. “I knew instinctively that this was the woman Steve was involved with and I was terrified,” she wrote in a statement to police.
Hundley’s car smashed into a stone column as she backed out of the driveway and she escaped by driving across the lawn. Marni Phillips said she discovered a note describing her husband’s relationship with Hundley attached to her front door.
Later that evening, the Phillips’ 16-year-old son told his parents that Hundley had posed as a high school classmate and sent repeated instant messages asking personal questions about his family and his parents’ marriage, according to the police report.
She also posed as a second friend, contacting him through the son’s Facebook account, the report said.

That sentence sounds much more cause and effect than it should have. If I watch TV, I see couples failing because people on TV are unstable by nature. Celebrities don’t become celebrities by NOT needing more love and attention than a regular person should. And non-celebrities don’t become celebrities by NOT being unstable.
But when I look away from the TV and check out the regular people in my life who are making a go at it, they’re almost uniformly doing really well.
