Jenn Sterger Reopens Brett Favre Scandal, Citing Old Tech
Jenn Sterger is talking about an old scandal involving Brett Favre, who used to play football.
Back in 2008, she said he sent her inappropriate messages, which is now known as sexting.
She says that the old technology of the time, like voicemails and a messaging service called T-mail, helped prove her story because it was harder to fake things back then.
While she felt the scandal hurt her career, Favre was only fined by the NFL.
The story has come up again with a new documentary about Favre, which has made people think about the unresolved issues.
Jenn Sterger revisited the 2008 Brett Favre sexting scandal on the George Janko Show.
Sterger stated that early 2000s technology, like voicemails and Sidekick T-mail, helped verify her claims.
She never met Favre, but believes the voicemails were from him.
Sterger's career was significantly impacted, while Favre was only fined $50,000 by the NFL.
Her revelations follow the release of the Netflix documentary "Untold: The Fall of Favre".
