In a candid interview on the George Janko Show, Sterger revisited the controversial 2008 incident—revealing how the outdated technology of that era helped verify her claims and further exposing the flaws in how the NFL handled the situation. Jenn Sterger reveals how old voicemails and Sidekick T-mail played a crucial role During the conversation, Sterger offered a deeper dive into the evidence she received back in 2008 while Favre was quarterbacking for the New York Jets. She stated she never met Favre in person but believes it was him based on the voicemails left on her phone. "I never met Brett Favre," she said. "The only reason that I assume that it's him is because of the voicemails." She explained that the nature of early 2000s tech played an unexpected role in exposing the messages. With no deepfakes or voice-altering apps available back then, she believes the audio clips were genuine. The explicit photos, she noted, were sent via T-mail, a once-popular messaging feature on Sidekick phones. The Fall Of Brett Favre - Jenn Sterger | EP. 113 'Do you know what T-mail is?' she joked.

She's spoken openly about how the scandal derailed her media career and how she felt abandoned by both the public and the NFL. Meanwhile, Favre, who was married at the time, reportedly admitted to the voicemails but denied sending any explicit content. The NFL fined him $50,000—not for misconduct, but for failing to fully cooperate with the investigation. Sterger's latest revelations come on the heels of Netflix's release of Untold: The Fall of Favre, a documentary that delves into both the sexting scandal and Favre's alleged involvement in a Mississippi welfare fraud case.
