Jenn Sterger, the woman who accused Brett Favre of Sєxual harᴀssment in 2010, reveals a curious detail in Netflix’s new documentary about the NFL legend’s controversial past: She never really met the guy.

‘So, here’s the craziest part about the whole scandal — I’ve never met Brett Favre,’ Sterger said in the documentary. ‘We’ve never been in the same room, we’ve never shaken hands, we had no kind of relationship, no rapport, nothing.’

Although both shared an employer, Sterger and Favre worked in very different areas of the business.

In 2008, Sterger accepted a media position as a New York Jets ‘Gameday Host’ when she caught the eye of the Favre, who was in the twilight of his career with the team at age 39. It was during this time, she alleged, that Favre left her voicemail messages and even set her a picture of his genitals – something he has denied, while admitting to calling her.

By 2010, both Sterger and Favre had moved on from the Jets when ɴuᴅᴇ pH๏τos allegedly sent by the quarterback to the younger TV host surfaced on ᴅᴇᴀᴅspin.

Sterger’s life was quickly upended.

Looking back at the scandal, Sterger now claims it ‘destroyed’ her life

‘… I was never treated like a person. I think one of the reasons why it’s so hard for people to have any empathy for me on the internet is because I’m just a picture to them and he was Brett Favre,’ a tearful Sterger told Netflix.

Ex-Jets employee Tim Andre worked with Sterger and corroborated her claims of being ‘stalked and harᴀssed’ by Favre. The Super Bowl winner allegedly would try to get her attention on the sidelines.

‘She felt genuinely uncomfortable and threatened [when Favre started contacting her],’ Andre said. ‘… I could just see it slowly wearing on her. I could see she wasn’t as excited to be involved in the games and how could you blame her?

‘We would be in the tunnel and he’s looking at her and making eye contact, making hand gestures and I’m like, ‘This guy is about to go play an NFL game, my God.”

Things were so bad, Sterger claimed, that she needed to be escorted by Andre at times because she didn’t want to find herself alone with Favre – not that anyone seemed to care.

‘I didn’t want to be on the field,’ she said. ‘Anyone else I told would just shrug it off and say, ‘We’ll look into it.”

Andre also remembers Sterger being ignored by the team.

‘I remember her speaking to me and saying, ‘No one’s listening to me, no one cares,” he said. ‘You have someone from your company being stalked and harᴀssed by another person from your company and to not even take it seriously just even hear her out, to me that’s scary.’

Sterger publicly accused Favre of Sєxual harᴀssment in 2010 after she was let go by the Jets.

‘At the end of the year my contract was not renewed — shocker,’ she said. ‘I kind of went into hiding. I just wanted to put the whole experience behind me. It was too humiliating to talk to people about what happened to me.’

Favre’s reputation for partying is also examined in the new Netflix documentary 

By 2010, Favre was winding up his career with the Minnesota Vikings.

In the end, Favre was fined $50,000 for failing to cooperate with the NFL investigation. Officially, the league never proved it was Favre who sent the pH๏τos to Sterger, so he was not found to be in violation of the NFL’s personal conduct policy.

He and the Jets both declined to be involved with the Netflix special.

‘My life was ruined and he went to the Hall of Fame,’ Sterger told Netflix.

Of course, Favre has faced other allegations of misconduct, including his recent welfare scandal in Mississippi that led to six arrests after $94 million in alleged fraud was revealed by the state auditor.

Favre was never charged, and while he has denied knowingly receiving welfare funds, he has been forced to make $1 million in repayments to the government.

The story is a bit complicated, but involves the state Department of Human Services paying $1.1 million in welfare money to a nonprofit known as the Mississippi Community Education Center. Specifically, the organization paid Favre Enterprises twice for speaking engagements, ‘radio and promotional events and business partner development.’

Favre never made the public appearances, and although he has repaid the principal, he and the state later went to court over more than $200,000 in interest.

There was also an alleged plan to put $5 million in funding towards a new volleyball stadium at Southern Miss, Favre’s alma mater and the school where he his daughter was playing the sport at the time.

Furthermore, Favre’s text 2019 text messages to then-Mississippi Governor Phil Bryant surfaced, showing the Green Bay Packers legend requesting funding for Southern Miss’ football team.

Bryant later told Favre they ‘have to follow the law.’

‘Oh.. NOWWWWW he gets in trouble for inappropriate texts, in 2022 when the Mississippi Welfare scandal came to light,’ Sterger tweeted at the time.

Favre is named in the state’s lawsuit as the ‘largest individual outside investor’ of Prevacus, a biotech firm later called Odyssey Health, which later received $2.1 million in funds.

More recently, Favre – who famously battled concussions as a player – has come forward about his Parkinson’s diagnosis.

‘Sadly, I also lost an investment in a company that I believed was developing a breakthrough concussion drug I thought would help others, and I’m sure you’ll understand why it’s too late for me because I’ve recently been diagnosed with Parkinson’s,’ Favre told lawmakers in 2024.

Sterger was less than sympathetic, referring to the diagnosis as ‘karma’ in an Instagram post.

‘I don’t wish bad things on anyone, but I know Karma never forgets an address,’ she wrote. ‘Imagine being diagnosed with such a terrible disease and not having the resources to fight it bc some Hall-of-Fame quarterback stole it?’
