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