Steve Phillips checks into an Inpatient treatment facility for sex addiction after getting fired from ESPN.

The ESPN Baseball Analyst was fired Sunday night because of a 3 week sex scandal that took place between Phillips and the ESPN Production Assistant 22 year old Brooke Hundley which took a turn for the worse when he tried to break ties with the relationship.

Marni Phillips, Steve’s wife had filed for divorce back on September 14th and the ESPN network had fired him. “His ability to be an effective representative for ESPN has been significantly and irreparable damaged, and it became evident it was time to part ways.” stated Josh Krulewitz, a network spokesman.

According to a representative for Phillips, Steve Lefkowitz stated that the former New York Mets General Manager had admitted himself into an unknown rehab facility for sex addiction. He had these reservations at this facility before he was even fired from ESPN.

“Steve Phillips is not a sleazebag. He’s a good guy who just fell off the wagon. Whatever he did wrong, it wasn’t under his control or he wouldn’t be checking himself in for help. He knows he needs help and wants a life with his family, that is paramount to him above everything else.” said Lefkowitz.

A representative for ESPN, Mike Soltys stated that Hundley had also been fired from the network, but gave no reason as to why.

With any luck this Inpatient treatment will get Phillips on his feet again and his hands to himself.
