Jenn Sterger has no sympathy for Brett Favre, Parkinson’s revelation

Jennifer Sterger doesn’t seem to have any sympathy for Brett Favre’s Parkinson’s disease.

Sterger, a former Jets announcer who accused the Pro Football Hall of Fame quarterback of sending her inappropriate and explicit texts during his lone season in New York in 2008, shared her thoughts on the revelations about Favre’s health on social media.

Favre made his diagnosis public Tuesday during a congressional hearing on nonpayment and Social Security reform.

“PSA: Please don’t send me links to it. I’ve seen it. I can read it,” Sterger wrote on her Instagram Story. “I don’t wish bad things on anyone, but I know Karma never forgets an address. Imagine being diagnosed with such a horrible disease and not having the resources to fight it because a Hall of Fame quarterback stole it?

“These are the people who need your attention, support and sympathy. And now at least his photos won’t be sharp. Mississippi, you deserve better.”

Favre, who has been linked to a Mississippi welfare scandal in which people he accuses of being involved in misused welfare funds for personal projects in Mississippi, spoke candidly about his diagnosis before the House Finance Committee.

“I also unfortunately lost an investment in a company (Prevacus) that I believed was developing a breakthrough drug for concussions that I thought would help others,” Favre said. “I’m sure you can understand that it’s too late for me, having recently been diagnosed with Parkinson’s, but that this is also a cause that is close to my heart.”

In 2010, two years after he allegedly sent Sterger inappropriate texts and photos, the NFL investigated her claims but could not conclude that Favre had violated the league’s workplace conduct policy.

He admitted sending voicemail messages to Sterger and was fined $50,000 for failing to cooperate with the league’s investigation.

This is not the first time Sterger has attacked Favre for his involvement in the Mississippi welfare scandal.

In 2023, she wrote, “Oh.. NOW he’s in trouble for inappropriate texts” on X after he was linked to the controversy.
