Jenn Sterger breaks down by speaking of the Brett Favre Sext scandal

Jenn Sterger explains how the initial media coverage surrounding the Brett Favre sexing scandal in 2010 had an impact on his life.

STERGER, 41, ended up at the center of the 2010 scandal after a Deadspin report said that Favre had sent him a photograph of his genitals, as well as a number of other unlined text messages and vocal messages in which he had made unwanted advances to the host of Gameday Jets in New York.

The controversy is the centerpiece of the new Netflix documentary, Untold: the fall of Favrewhich follows the public fall of the ancient quarter of the NFL and begins to broadcast on May 20.

“I have never been treated like a person,” said Sterger during an emotional scene, who includes clips of media and fans at the time who blamed him for the scandal of the ancient quarter.

“I think that one of the reasons why it is so difficult for people to have empathy for me on the Internet is that I am only an image for them,” says Sterger. “And he was Brett Favre.”

Untold: the fall of Favre Followed the former initial increase in the 55-year-old ancient quarter-Arrière as a star of Green Bay packers in the 1990s to his tumultuous fall from grace to the late 2000s and 2010s, going from a football hero to a former athlete who was accused of sexual harassment and siphoning of government funds intended to help the poor.

Favre, who has long denied the reprehensible acts in the well-being scandal of Mississippi, refused to be interviewed for the documentary.

However, Sterger agreed to sit with the producers of Netflix to discuss what happened between her and Favre, how her inappropriate advances towards the sporting personality were made public against his wishes, and how the public reaction had an impact on his life.

Sterger explains at one point that “the craziest part” of the whole scandal is that she and Favre have never met. “I have never met him,” said Sterger, who worked for the jets for a season of Favre with the team in 2008 but never crossed the quarter. “We have never been in the same room. We have never shook hands. We had no relationship, no report, nothing. ”

Sterger explains that Favre first noticed him from afar in a stadium tunnel before a jet match. The quarter-back would have asked a member of the staff of the jets to obtain the Sterger number for him, which Sterger says that the employee gave Favre without his permission. Favre then started sending SMS and then started leaving obscene vocal messages. Then Favre would have sent an unlined image of its genitals to underger.

But Sterger never returned the interaction itself.

Two years later, STERGER told Netflix that she has casually mentioned with the unsolicited text of Favre during a conversation with her colleague sports journalist AJ Daulerio, who was the editor -in -chief of Deadspin at the time and then published the information without Sterger consent.

“I had said to a few people, at the end of that, if there were two scumbags of this situation, it is myself and Brett favre,” said Dauleroi to CNN Reliable sources Program in a clip indicated in the Doc Netflix.

Sterger, who had had a career as a personality of the sports media in the years preceding the Favre scandal, says that she began to avoid having a public profile after the media storm which followed the sexing scandal.

The Doc Netflix also includes interviews with the bodyguard of Sterger during the Jets Games, who called the “disgusting” Favre actions, as well as other personalities from the sports media, journalists and former NFL players who all put the blame on Favre throughout the episode.

“We have just seen these things take place too many times,” explains Jemele Hill, personality of the sports media, in the doc. “We know that when it is an athlete of superstar accused of inappropriate behavior with a woman, it is the woman who will have the most.
