ESPN Fires Reporter For Dropping The C-Word About A Fellow Reporter

Marly Rivera

ESPN national baseball reporter Marly Rivera has been fired after an incident at Yankee Stadium in which she uttered the words, “f—king c–t” toward a fellow female reporter waiting for an Aaron Judge interview last week, The NY Post is reporting.

Rivera had been a dugout reporter on the Home Run Derby, some “Sunday Night Baseball” telecasts and was an ESPN Radio MLB playoff game analyst.

Bilingual, she brought a different perspective to the telecasts, especially when speaking to Latin players.

“She no longer works here,” ESPN told The Post in a statement.  The incident occurred last Tuesday at Yankee Stadium.

Before the Yankees-Angels game, Rivera and fellow reporter Ivón Gaete had a disagreement when Gaete arrived in an attempt to also interview Judge. Rivera said she set up time with the Yankees captain and when she repeatedly tried to tell Gaete of the appointment, Gaete ignored it.

During the heat of the disagreement, Rivera said the words, “f–king c—t,” which was caught on video.

After the recording of the incident, Rivera tried to apologize, but was rebuffed by Gaete.
