Jenn Sterger: Is Sterger's Interview a Sign of More Trouble for Favre?

Jenn Sterger Gives ABC Interview About Favre Scandal, But Could it Be a Sign of More Trouble For Former Quarterback?

Jenn Sterger, the former sideline hostess-turned T.V. personality, has finally given her side of the story regarding the Brett Favre scandal. 

For those who don't remember the story, Favre sent Sterger illicit photos and messages in 2008, when both were under the employment of the New York Jets. 

Sterger spoke to ABC's George Stephanopoulos for a Good Morning America segment that aired today, detailing her feelings throughout the recent incident. 

"I didn't want anything to do with it. That's the thing," Sterger said. "I didn't want anything to do with it in 2008, I (didn't) want anything to do with it in 2010. I still don't want anything to do with it now. The only reason I feel like I have to give this interview is ... for me. For my family. This has nothing to do with Brett Favre. It doesn't. I just want people to know me. And to know that I'm not a gold-digger. And I'm not a home-wrecker."

Sterger's interview sheds even more light on what has been one of the bigger stories of the last 12 months, but it also begs a question: could her statements mean more trouble for Brett Favre?

Favre has already been slapped with a fine from the NFL, and been subjected to frequent scrutiny over the course of the year, and he's the defendant in a lawsuit from two massage therapists who worked for the Jets in 2008. They claimed that, like Sterger, they were the victims of unwelcome sexual advances from the veteran quarterback.

The good news for Brett is that he has retired from the NFL. No matter what Sterger told viewers in the interview (which wound up being little we didn't already know), the NFL couldn't levy any more punishment against the future Hall of Fame inductee. 

But, what about that lawsuit? Sterger essentially details how she knew the texts were from Favre, and provides the kind of history the plaintiffs could use to prove that Favre was guilty of harassing them as well as the former sideline hostess. Her interview could wind up costing Favre quite a bit of money, as well as damaging his reputation, right? 

Fortunately for the quarterback, Sterger isn't one of the plaintiffs in the lawsuit, meaning the interview probably won't have much impact. The former sideline hostess doesn't talk about the massage therapists, and her statements pertain only to her interaction with the quarterback.

In the end, it's hard to see Favre getting in more trouble because of what Sterger said, mostly because he can't get in more trouble than he's already in.
