ESPN production assistant who had affair with Steve Phillips no longer with network

"An ESPN spokesman says the production assistant whose affair with Steve Phillips led to the baseball analyst’s firing is no longer with the sports network," the Associated Press writes. The AP wrote that ESPN spokesman Mike Soltys said Monday that "Brooke Hundley doesn’t work at ESPN anymore." Soltys did not say whether she quit or was fired and the AP writes that "Hundley did not immediately return a phone message Monday." ESPN fired Phillips Sunday night, less than a week after he admitted to an affair with the 22-year-old assistant, saying his ability to be an effective representative of the network had been “irreparably damaged.”
