World Cup Anchor Mike Tirico’s Bizarre History: Reports of Stalking and Sexual Harassment

Though the diminutive, oft-smiling, and bespectacled Tirico strikes viewers as a paragon of congeniality, during his early days at ESPN he was reportedly anything but. During the early-to-mid ’90s, ESPN was a notorious boys club, with “no fewer than fifty cases of sexual harassment reported by women on the staff to ESPN management through the first half of the 1990s,” according to Those Guys Have All the Fun, James Andrew Miller and Tom Shales’ oral history of ESPN. “One of the most notorious cases to arise,” they wrote, “was that of Mike Tirico, who became very unpopular with some of the women on staff.”

The “notorious” case is explored in greater detail in Michael Freeman’s tome ESPN: The Uncensored History. According to the book, at a house party in the fall of 1992, a little over a year after he’d been hired by the network, Tirico—then considered a rising star—approached a young female production assistant.

Without introduction, he reportedly told her, “You’re the most beautiful woman in here.” The woman ignored him and walked away, but for the next several minutes, Tirico trailed her around the party—until she finally snapped. “Why don’t you fukk off?” she said, according to the book. “Get away from me.” Tirico stood there dumbfounded, and the woman turned and left the soiree.

As she pulled her car out of the driveway, Tirico allegedly materialized in front of the woman’s car and signaled her to stop. He walked to the driver’s side door, and the woman reluctantly rolled the window down, saying, “Get out of the way… I don’t want to hit you with my car.” As the woman began rolling up the window, he reportedly “reached into the car and attempted to put one of his hands between her thighs.” She screamed, and Tirico headed back to the party. The incident was, according to the book, corroborated by a current ESPN producer, as well as “other current and former ESPN officials.”
