Moment fired ESPN reporter calls journalist a ‘f***ing c***’ in front of child fans and Aaron Judge

An ousted ESPN reporter was caught on camera calling a rival journalist a ‘f***ing c***’ in front of young Yankees fans trying to get captain Aaron Judge‘s autograph.

The star baseball player could be seen in the newly-released video posing for pictures and talking to children who had lined up to see him before the team took on the Los Angeles Angels in the Bronx on April 18 when ex-ESPN reporter Marly Rivera starts hitting out at Ivon Gaete.

Rivera had apparently set up an interview with Judge at the time, the New York Post previously reported, but Gaete, a freelance journalist who had been at the stadium to cover Angels star Shohei Ohtani for Tokyo Broadcasting, wanted to speak to the Yankees star as well.

At one point, Rivera seems to get so irate that she rolls her eyes and calls Gaete, the wife of MLB vice president of communications John Blundell, a ‘f***ing c***,’ much to Gaete’s shock.

Rivera was later fired from her position as a result.

Ivon Gaete, a freelance reporter, was at the stadium to cover Angels star Shohei Ohtani for Tokyo Broadcasting but also wanted to speak with Yankees star Aaron Judge

The video, obtained by TMZ, shows Judge smiling for pictures as he happily signed young fans’ baseballs last week.

Rivera could be seen standing just a few feet away, in front of the camera, telling her cameraman: ‘Yeah, I told him already [to] get ready.’

But Gaete then walks over and stands next to her, prompting Rivera to reprimand the reporter in Spanish.

She then apologizes when she realizes Gaete can speak English, only to continue back in Spanish as Judge continues to sign his autograph for fans.

Apparently aggravated, Rivera switches back to English as she rolls her eyes and says. ‘Oh what a f***ing c***’ and walks away, leaving Gaete visibly stunned.
