>> she has been threatening me via text and phone calls. >> phillips's 16-year-old son told police that hundley also harassed him lie a text and facebook to get dirt on his dad. in his report, the teen said she asked specific inappropriate questions about my parents. do they sleep in the same bed? do you think they will be getting a divorce? >> as a 16-year-old, you don't want to think of your parents that way. the questions that were asked were over the line. >> in a statement to police, a clearly frightened steve phillips said about his ex-mistress, this woman has clearly displayed erratic behavior and delusional tendencies and i have extreme concerns about the health and safety of my kids and myself. >> this is not an affair, but a dangerous situation. luckily it didn't escalate as far as it could have. >> "showbiz tonight" can tell you e, spn has been rocked. phillips is on a leave of absence n. a statement he said i am deeply sorry i put my family and colleagues through this. some are not ready to forgive phillips whose past affairs have been public. >> it's disgusting and unfortunate he has done this not only to his wife, but set a bad example for his four sons. >> as for hundley, she is still an employee and police tell "showbiz tonight" phillips dropped the issue and she will not be charged, but as we always see in these public sex scandals, everyone involved gets hurt. >> it's an epidemic and affects politicians and you have letterman involve and a baseball analyst. you think guys, get it together. why is this something you feel the need to do. >> whatever the reasons for having the affair, he couldn't have imagined it would end up like this. he lost his wife and reputation. should he lose his job over this scandal? joins me from hollywood, the creator of the website. carlos diaz is a correspondent for extra. my friend, let me begin with you. when you hear an outrageous story, i am thinking it's hard to know who the bigger offender here. steve phillips cheating on his wife with a 22-year-old or brooke, his production assistant for the threatening behavior? >> i will have to go with they are both wrong. it's never right at all to cheat on your wife and he made the first mistake, but her behavior after this is terrible. it is kind of a fatal attraction move to be broken up with and try to mess with the relationship of the person that broke up with you. i have to go with steve being more wrong. he has done it before and should have learned his lesson and bringing espn down with him because he should be talking about baseball. basically it's a black eye on espn at this very, very important time for them. >> this guy was sued for sexual harassment in 1998 when he was the energy manager for the mets and didn't learn his lesson. he lost his wife. do you think he should lose his job over this or should his personal life be out of bounds? >> all joking about fatal attraction aside because it's easy to do, but this is a scary situation for his children and for his wife. i think steve phillips is a chronic offender in this area and needs psychiatric help. this is the conversation we are having about corporate america like david letterman and steve phillips. should they be punished and lose their jobs? if you are talking about joe smith from iowa, would we be outraged? sometimes we let fame and celebrity get in the way and steve phillips, he should have thought about all he would lose before he made the choices. >> what it comes down to regardless of the personal judgments we may have and whatever the company policy is. you can't be involved with anybody who works with you or for you, you are out on your butt. let us move on to another involved in a sex scandal. feeling the heat after he admitted to sleeping with women who worked for him. the national organization for women wrote an angry letter to his production company that is called worldwide pants, calling the work environment toxic for women and they demanded a meeting. his company said three out of four producers on the show are women. they also said among the late night staff, 58% are women. let me go back to you on this. a lot of people say that's a lame response. >> it is a lame response. the guy who made it is a guy and david letterman probably didn't want to sleep with him. what goes on here, we have to take apart the layers. this is about power and workplace power. it is not equitable for women in the workplace contrary to popular belief. it is a place where women need to walk a fine line being powerful and too powerful. if they are involved with coworkers or wear revealing clothes, they use their to gain favors. it's not an even playing field. david letterman is a boss who manages a company of people. he has to lead by example and set the tone and if this was one time, a one-time experience and he was deeply sorry, we have a different sensibility. this is a chronic issue for him and we love dave. nobody wants to look at his behavior. we have to see through the celebrity and look at the action and the influence it has. if this was middle america and not cbs, would we have a different opinion. >> despite all of that, the human resources department said they have no complaints and talked to all the female employees. do you think they have obligations to sit down with the women's group to save face? >> obligated, no. should they? yes. let them in and meet with them. it's a great pr move and a great smoothing over technique. what can it hurt? >> i agree. i have to end it there. not to placate, but i think they have good that can come out of it. thanks, guys. >> chris brown's brand-new interview. guess what. he is still mad at oprah. >> oprah gets on the tv and said can i clear it up first?

"showbiz tonight" will show you an amazing look at footage from this is it. the controversial movie featuring michael's last concert rehearsals days before his death. wait until you see how he looks and sounds. jane velez mitchell who is the host of issues and the author of the fine new book, i want. also a legal correspondent for in session. i want to begin with the first look at this is it. it won't hit theaters until wednesday, but we got ahold of new scenes from the movie that shows jackson rehearsing days before he died. check out michael performing the way you make me feel. ♪ it is hard to get away from the idea when you see him move around on stage and hearing his voice and watching him perform, set against the backdrop of the fact that he died days later. pretty remarkable. >> it's astounding. actually mind-boggling. we heard about his illness in being emaciated and suffering from insomnia. if you have all that going on, it's hard to do a spin and land perfectly on both feet. you see him doing precisely that. for me it's astounding because i covered his criminal trial in 2005 and he was in the hospital when he walked into court. almost carrying him in and out. we have seen pictures of him in a wheelchair. this is absolutely the polar opposite and it reminds me that it's always hard to tell what is fiction and fact when it comes to michael jackson. it was a case of smoke and mirrors and we wondered is that voice really his voice. does he talk like a regular guy when nobody is watching. you never know what is going on. >> a lot of people are going to see the movie because they are curious and want to see what shape he was in before he died. it's no surprise that filmmakers wanted to show jack on his game, at his strongest. at least based on the footage that we are seeing here, it's easy to suggest that michael probably could have pulled off 50 concerts. >> they are saying the 50 concerts weren't going to be one after another. there was a time span. when i look at this and it will be released next week in whole as the movie, i think about the criminal investigation. there is an investigation taking place right now. the death was ruled a homicide at the hands of another. we don't know if charges will come, but there is a jury pool that will look at him appearingly very fit up and down the stage and rehearsals are tough. >> that's a good point and a lot of people have been questioning the timing of the film's release and it was put into production after he died. we sat down with the film's director. he spoke with us about how it felt putting this movie together so soon after jackson's death. you have to watch what he said. >> i will collapse and never get through it. it's too hard, too soon. it was healing and helpful. it's that kind of experience. michael is very present and very much alive and in the moment. you feel that. i'm looking forward to sharing that with the world. >> he said it was healing and helpful. a lot of people are saying releasing the film four months after michael's death is plain tacky and greedy. come on back in here and we will get your take. bad timing or was it the right move? >> i think it's the right move and it will bring closure to all of his fans out there. you take a look at the clips and you see it really honors michael jackson as a talented performer. i don't think it's tacky at all. you watch it and he looks crisp and hitting the moves and it's smart business. they need to capitalize and not wait until the interest is not as high. i don't think that's greedy because it's not exploiting, but honoring him. >> do you think it's about the fans wanting to see performance or morbid curiosity? >> it's a combination of both. there is a lot of fan who is want to forget about his troubles and simply enjoy and relish his music, but then a whole other set of people who are obsessed with all the troubles of a criminal trial where he was acquitted of the talk of drug addiction and they have that curiosity. i basically think it will be a big hit because ever
