sport news Ex-Jets host Jennifer Sterger reveals details from Brett Favre text incident ... trends now

A woman has claimed former NFL QB Brett Favre 'cost her her job because she wouldn't sleep with him' over 10 years ago, amid the welfare scandal the Hall of Famer now finds himself in.

Favre is accused of attempting to funnel $5million into the new complex built at his alma mater of Southern Miss, where his daughter was playing volleyball in 2018 in collaboration with former Mississippi Gov. Phil Bryant and Nancy New. 

Mississippi Today's Anna Wolfe revealed alleged text messages shared by the attorney of New, a nonprofit founder who has pled guilty for federal wire fraud relating to a widespread $77m misuse of funds from the federal Temporary Assistance for Needy Families. 

The texts reportedly show Bryant guiding Favre on how to write a funding proposal that would be accepted by the Mississippi Department of Human Service. 

One of the text messages show former Mississippi Gov. Bryant, asking New, who has since pleaded guilty to a litany of state and federal charges over the scheme, for assistance as it pertained to Favre and his 'project.' 

And now one woman has added fuel to the fire by revealing more details of her previous dealings with Favre, including how she lost her job because she wouldn't sleep with him.

Comedian Jennifer Sterger quote tweeted the report, replying, 'Oh.. NOWWWWW he gets in trouble for inappropriate texts.' 

Back in 2008, Sterger was a gameday host for the New York Jets, where Favre was the quarterback. Sterger reportedly received inappropriate messages and images from Favre during the course of the season.

The NFL opened an investigation into the incident in 2010. While they never found Favre guilty of violating the league's personal conduct policy, they did fine him $50,000 for failing to cooperate with the investigation.

Upon reflection of her tweet, Sterger opened up with another message posted to Twitter.

'To think my legacy and everything anyone knows of me.. can be summed down to the title of "The Brett Favre Girl," is not only disgusting. But disheartening,' Sterger penned.

'To think of all the jobs that people have gate-kept from me, that I was a shoo-in for, simply because having access to HIM, his interviews, his "legacy" and stardom was more important than any kind of reparations I was due.

'The media played a sick and twisted role in painting me as a bad guy, simply because I "looked a certain way." And, none of them has printed a retraction, though some like NFL.com have deleted articles but not the search engine sheets that show they are still somewhere in the system.
