Jenn Sterger has no sympathy for Brett Favre after he says he has Parkinson’s disease

Jennifer Sterger seemingly doesn’t have any sympathy for Brett Favre’s Parkinson’s disease plight. 

Sterger, a former Jets host who accused the Pro Football Hall of Fame quarterback of sending her inappropriate and explicit text during his only season in New York in 2008, took to social media to dish out her thoughts on the revelations about Favre’s health. 

Favre went public with his diagnosis on Tuesday while testifying at a congressional hearing on welfare misspending and reform. 

“PSA: Please don’t send me links to it. I’ve seen it. I can read,” 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 terrible disease and not having the resources to fight it bc some Hall-of-Fame quarterback stole it?

“Those are the people that need your attention, support, and sympathy. And at least now, his pictures won’t be in focus. Mississippi you deserve better.”

Favre, who was linked to a Mississippi welfare scandal where people were he is alleged to have been involved with misusing welfare money on personal projects in Mississippi, opened up about his diagnosis before the House Ways and Means Committee.

“Sadly, I also lost an investment in a company [Prevacus] that I believed was developing a breakthrough concussion drug I thought would help others,” Favre said. “I’m sure you’ll understand, while it’s too late for me because I’ve recently been diagnosed with Parkinson’s, this is also a cause dear to my heart.” 

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

He would admit to sending Sterger voicemails and was fined $50,000 for not cooperating with the league’s investigation.

It’s not the first time Sterger has gone at Favre for his involvement in the Mississippi welfare scandal. 

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