NSFW video of incident that got former Yankees reporter Marly Rivera fired leaks
The details, even without the video, are crazy enough. ESPN's Marly Rivera was dismissed from her position this week after calling a fellow reporter a "f***ing c***" because they'd both (reportedly) double-booked time with Yankees star Aaron Judge.
That sentence, which is already insane, doesn't tell the half of it.
The reporter Rivera beefed with, Ivón Gaete, happens to be the wife of John Blundell, MLB's Vice President of Communications. Strike one. The incident happen mere feet away from both Judge and a fleet of children. Strike two.
Oh, and Rivera reportedly also called a different reporter a "white b****" last year because said reporter tried to take the same photo she was trying to take. She also, per sources, called a third reporter a "fake Hispanic". She also antagonized Judge, Gerrit Cole and Clint Frazier publicly (and, we're sure, many more people). Strikes three, four and five?
Would you like to see the video? Of course you'd like to see the video. Here's Rivera giving a VIP an absolute earful within earshot of the 2022 American League MVP, as well as a bunch of kiddos.
Yankees star Aaron Judge signed autographs for kids while Marly Rivera screamed at reporter
Imagine doing that! Imagine doing any of that! Imagine behaving that way in front of kids! In front of Judge, the man you were ostensibly supposed to talk to for work! Imagine doing that, then just walking to the locker room to do your job later!
Wait, that makes sense, actually. Is this the "Locker Room Talk" everyone kept mentioning back in 2016?
Per many, many, many reports, it seems Rivera has long held the reputation of being difficult and mean-spirited. Per this video we've now all seen with our own two eyes, it's obvious she has some things to work on -- first and foremost, presentation.
You know how reporters are trained to find the camera these days? Maybe Rivera should've found the camera. Or maybe she just thought she was invincible.
She was not.
