Infamous Yankees reporter fired after wildly NSFW argument over Aaron Judge

Before Marly Rivera was ESPN's MLB national reporter, she was a scribe on the Yankees beat. It's possible that -- ahem, how do we put this, uh ... -- that experience made her believe she was entitled to certain breaks that may or may not have been warranted.

And, when one freelance journalist pushed Rivera too far this past week, she paid the consequences.

Well, one paid the verbal consequences. One paid with her livelihood.

Rivera was fired this week after an argument over who had an appointment to interview Yankees star Aaron Judge in a given time slot. According to sources, freelance reporter Ivón Gaete and Rivera arrived to interview Judge at the same time, and Rivera's attempts to claim the slot escalated to the point where she was captured screaming and calling Gaete a "f***ing c***" on video.

It's also probably worth noting that Gaete is married to John Blundell, MLB's Vice President of Communications. Maybe next time, just take the slight and move on without the foul language?

The craziest part of it all? Rivera admitted everything, telling the New York Post, “I fully accept responsibility for what I said, which I should not have." It's tough to deny the existence of something that's on video, but ... people have tried! So ... kudos to her, I guess?

What NSFW phrase did Yankees ESPN reporter Marly Rivera say to get fired?

This is, of course, not the first time Rivera has found herself embroiled in a Judge-related controversy, though probably the first time she called anyone involved a "f***ing c***." We hope.

At last summer's All-Star Game, Rivera found a way to make things uncomfortable on the field with Judge, asking him mid-celebration what he would say to a crying child if he left the Yankees.

Geez. No wonder she was double booked.

And who could forget this Gerrit Cole standoff, where Rivera asked him if he proved in one post-Spider Tack start that he didn't need spin rate to be a good pitcher.

"Marly. Look at my career track record, and look at my numbers. Thank you." Brutal.

Here's a tip, too. For those out there wondering why Rivera was fired "without a warning," ... she probably wasn't. She was more than likely warned. This is just the first time you're hearing about it.

Across the board, this is a deeply uncomfortable situation, but it was probably about time for Rivera to get out of the clubhouse anyway.

UDPATE: Oh. My God. It just keeps getting so much worse.

Post-publication, the news dropped that the offending remark was made in front of children (and Judge himself). Rivera also reportedly called another reporter a "white b****" and flipped her off last year, as well as accused someone in the industry as being a "fake Hispanic," with multiple witnesses. We're good here.
