HARTFORD, Conn. - A former ESPN production assistant whose affair with broadcaster Steve Phillips led to their firings says she confronted his wife only so he would stop pursuing her.
Brooke Hundley told ABC's "Good Morning America" on Thursday that she never stalked the baseball analyst. Both were fired in October after the affair became public.
Bristol, Conn.-based ESPN says its investigation found Hundley's characterization of the events as inconsistent.
Phillips acknowledged his relationship with the 22-year-old Hundley, and the details were splashed across New York tabloids for days.
Telephone messages were left Thursday for Hundley and Phillips' spokesman. Phillips' wife, Marni, declined to comment.
