Jennifer Sterger, the former Jets host known for accusing Hall of Fame quarterback Brett Favre of sending her inappropriate messages during his 2008 season with the New York Jets, recently broke her silence after Favre publicly revealed his Parkinson’s disease diagnosis. Instead of offering sympathy, Sterger took the opportunity to highlight the ongoing welfare fraud scandal involving Favre—a scandal that has cast a shadow over the former NFL star’s legacy.

Sterger’s pointed remarks came via Instagram, where she made it clear she wasn’t interested in the news of Favre’s health struggles. “PSA: Please don’t send me links to it. I’ve seen it. I can read,” Sterger wrote. “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 because some Hall-of-Fame quarterback stole it?”

Her comments were a direct jab at Favre’s involvement in the Mississippi welfare scandal, in which millions of taxpayer dollars intended for the state’s most vulnerable citizens were misappropriated, allegedly for personal projects, including those connected to Favre. The former NFL star has been linked to these shady dealings, further tarnishing his post-football reputation.

While testifying before Congress at a hearing on welfare misspending and reform, Favre revealed his Parkinson’s diagnosis. In a heartfelt moment, he reflected on his failed investment in Prevacus, a company that claimed to be developing a concussion drug. “Sadly, I also lost an investment in a company that I believed was developing a breakthrough concussion drug I thought would help others,” Favre told the committee. “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.”

But Sterger wasn’t moved by Favre’s emotional testimony. In fact, she expressed little sympathy for the former quarterback’s plight, instead drawing attention to those impacted by the welfare scandal, stating, “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’s fall from grace, particularly in conservative circles, has been stunning. Once heralded as a rugged, all-American sports hero who exemplified grit and determination, Favre now faces legal battles and public disdain. Sterger’s refusal to soften her stance in light of Favre’s diagnosis only underscores the depth of her grievances.

This isn’t the first time Sterger has criticized Favre over his role in the Mississippi welfare scandal. In 2023, after news broke linking Favre to the controversy, Sterger wrote on X, “Oh… NOWWWWW he gets in trouble for inappropriate texts,” a clear reference to her previous allegations against him. Back in 2010, the NFL launched an investigation into Sterger’s claims that Favre had sent her explicit text messages. While the investigation concluded that Favre had sent voicemails, the league was unable to substantiate the claims of inappropriate photos. Favre was fined $50,000 for not fully cooperating with the investigation.

Sterger’s sharp rebuke of Favre serves as a reminder that while the former quarterback may have once been a beloved figure in the sports world, his off-the-field actions—and his alleged involvement in the misuse of welfare funds—have left many disillusioned. Conservatives, who have long championed personal responsibility and accountability, may find it difficult to reconcile Favre’s iconic image with his alleged role in one of the largest welfare fraud cases in recent memory.

Ultimately, Sterger’s words reflect a broader sentiment of frustration: a sense that public figures like Favre, once admired, should be held accountable for their actions, regardless of their past accomplishments or current struggles. As Sterger herself put it, “Karma never forgets an address.” For Brett Favre, it seems that address is long overdue.
