Steve Phillips And Brooke Hundley: A Romance Told Through Filthy Sexts

John KoblinJohn Koblin|published: Thu 6th June, 12:53 2013

You can head over here and read the long version of the affair between then-ESPN baseball analyst Steve Phillips and then-ESPN production assistant Brooke Hundley. Or you can get a pretty good idea of their very brief romance by reading their text messages. As the full story points out, this was a mostly sexless sex scandal, involving some masturbation, a little groping, and a parking-lot blow job. It would nevertheless have far-reaching effects on ESPN.

These texts were included in the case file in Hundley's suit against ESPN, portions of which can be found at the bottom of the page. In her deposition, Hundley said that she transcribed these texts. Why she included only Phillips’s texts for the first half of this transcript and included only her own texts in the second half isn’t made clear. In her transcription, a couple of texts were placed out of order. We've put them in chronological order. Down below, you can also find all the other docs we picked up from the Stamford courthouse.
