Jenn Sterger breaks her silence on Brett Favre’s Parkinson’s disease revelation: “Karma never forgets an address”
Jenn Sterger, a former NFL reporter and current comedian who accused Super Bowl champion Brett Favre of sending her inappropriate text messages and pictures in 2008, seemed to blame it on “karma” after he announced his revelation about Parkinson’s disease on Tuesday.
Sterger responded to the revelation in her Instagram stories, attacking the Mississippi welfare scandal in which he is involved.

“PSA. Please don’t send me links to this. I saw it. I can read. I don’t wish bad on anyone, but I know karma never forgets an address,” she wrote on her Instagram stories. “Imagine being diagnosed with such a horrific disease and not having the tools to fight it because some Hall of Fame quarterback stole it? These are the people who need your attention, support and compassion.”
“And now at least his pictures won’t be sharp. Mississippi, you deserve better.”
At the time, Favre admitted to sending Sterger explicit voicemails, but no text messages. He was quarterback for the New York Jets at the time and Sterger was a sideline reporter for the team.
He was fined $50,000 for failing to cooperate with the NFL’s investigation into the matter.
Favre was required to testify before a congressional committee about a Mississippi welfare spending scandal in which he has been embroiled for several years. The former NFL quarterback, who faces no charges in the case, has repaid more than $1 million in speaking fees funded by a state welfare program and was also an investor in a biotech company linked to the case.

The 54-year-old told MPs he had lost his investment in the company, which he thought was “developing a groundbreaking concussion drug that I thought would help others.”
“I’m sure you’ll understand that although it’s too late for me – I was recently diagnosed with Parkinson’s – this is a cause that’s very close to my heart,” Favre said.
He called for a reform of the federal welfare system to better prevent fraud in the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program.
“The challenges my family and I have faced over the past three years – because certain government officials in Mississippi failed to protect federal TANF funds from fraud and abuse and now wrongly try to blame me for it – have damaged my reputation and are worse than anything I have experienced in football,” he said.
Favre said he did not know that the payments he received came from social funds.
Favre recently said he believes he suffered “thousands” of concussions during his playing career, and in 2021, he advised parents to keep their children away from tackle football until age 14.
He also told OutKick last month that he suffered a head injury in his last NFL game.
