Molly Qerim has left ESPN and First Take. Qerim appeared on Monday's edition of the show, but by the evening there was a story that she would be leaving her job at the end of the year. When Tuesday's episode of First Take rolled around, Qerim was gone and Stephen A. Smith announced her departure.
Smith had some more vague details about Qerim on his podcast later on Tuesday, telling viewers Qerim had "abruptly resigned," despite the fact that she was going through contract negotiations and that he and ESPN both wanted her back.
