ESPN ‘fires baseball reporter Marly Rivera for calling fellow journalist a F***ING C**T’

ESPN has parted ways with baseball reporter Marly Rivera after a blowup last week, according to a new report.

According to the New York Post, Rivera and another reporter, Ivon Gaete, had a dispute before the Yankees-Angels game last week, with Rivera telling Gaete she had lined up an interview with Aaron Judge.

When Gaete – who wanted to speak with the Yankees captain as well – ignored Rivera, the now-former ESPN staffer called her fellow reporter a ‘f***ing c**t’ during the argument.

In a statement to The Post, Rivera admitted uttering the phrase but suggested her dismissal was not warranted.

Gaete, a freelance reporter, is the wife of MLB vice president of communications, John Blundell, who she told The Post she’s disagreed with over the years.

ESPN confirmed to The Post that Rivera had left her role with the company. 

Marly Rivera worked for ESPN for 13 years, covering the MLB in both English and Spanish

Rivera said that Ivon Gaete ignored her after she said she had arranged to interview Judge

‘I fully accept responsibility for what I said, which I should not have,’ Rivera told The Post. 

‘There were extenuating circumstances but that in no way is an excuse for my actions. I am a professional with a sterling reputation across baseball and I do believe that I am being singled out by a group of individuals with whom I have a long history of professional disagreements.’

Rivera is bilingual and contributed to ESPN.com’s website and on-air, as well as ESPN Deportes.

She was at ESPN for 13 years.
