The Dark Side Of Craigslist

Steve Phillips Scandal

In 2009, ESPN was in the middle of a scandal between one of its baseball analysts, former Mets manager Steve Phillips, and a production assistant, Brooke Hundley. But the affair was not as scandalous as you would think, according to a report from deadspin.com, which said that although the two engaged in dirty activities, they never actually took a roll in the hay.

Amid the scandal, the New York Post reported that Hundley was apparently upset over the situation and hired someone over Craigslist to harass Philips’s wife. Hundley hired a waitress from Connecticut, who said that she and Hundley called the wife and she was given a script that revealed Philips was cheating. Hundley had already sued ESPN for defamation but apparently needed more justice from the entire debacle.
