Exclusive: Steve Phillips' Mistress, Brooke Hundley, Speaks Out

Nov. 12, 2009 — -- Brooke Hundley, the woman at the center of the Steve Phillips sex scandal that made headlines around the world, said she is no stalker and her contact with the former baseball analyst's family was an attempt to draw attention to her affair with Phillips, which she felt pressured to stay quiet about.

"I did things I regret, obviously. People make mistakes at 22," Hundley told "Good Morning America" in an exclusive interview. "That's what I was trying not to do originally, was hurt anybody else or affect anybody else's lives negatively. But I did things and I thought about things just as an avenue to get people to pay attention, to start asking the right questions, to get me out of a bad situation.

"I was in a situation where I felt like if I didn't do what was asked of me, then everything I had worked for, for the past six years, everything I had done to establish myself as a successful media professional, could be gone like that," she said.

In August, Hundley applied for a restraining order against Phillips -- which she withdrew -- saying he threatened her reputation and career if she didn't keep the affair a secret.

Hundley wrote Phillips' wife, Marni, a letter about the affair and contacted Phillips' son through Facebook -- actions that Phillips said were examples of Hundley's "obsessive and delusional" behavior.

Hundley said she and Phillips have resolved their issues, but she said she hopes "he would grow up and take responsibility for his own actions."

Hundley is speaking out now, she said, to help other women who might be in a situation similar to hers.
