Brett Favre's revelation that he has Parkinson's Disease is not earning him any sympathy from Jennifer Sterger.
The model and TV personality accused the Pro Football Hall of Fame quarterback of sending her lewd text messages and pictures when she worked as a New York Jets "Game Day Host" in 2008. And shortly after Favre went public with his diagnosis at a congressional hearing on Tuesday, Sterger responded in an Instagram story.
“PSA: Please don’t send me links to it. I’ve seen it. I can read,” she 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 bc some Hall-of-Fame quarterback stole it?"
Favre has been linked to a Mississippi welfare scandal in which state funds earmarked for needy families were allegedly diverted to several pet projects. He was testifying before the House Ways and Means Committee on Tuesday when he mentioned his Parkinson's diagnosis.
“Sadly, I also lost an investment in a company 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.”

Sterger, now 40, claimed Favre harassed her during his one season with the Jets. The NFL opened an investigation into the allegations, and while Favre admitted sending her voicemails, the league did not find he violated its workplace conduct policy.
He was fined $50,000 for not cooperating with the investigation.
