Jan 4, (THAINDIAN NEWS) After Jenn Sterger scandal, Minnesota Vikings quarterback Brett Favre has again come under scanner, when two massage therapists Christina Scavo and Shannon O’Toole filed a sexual harassment suit against him. The two massage therapists claimed that Brett Favre sent them some sexually explicit messages in 2008 after they gave a massage during summer training camp. In the lawsuit, it is stated that New York Jets locker room and their training camp are “hot bed” of inappropriate behavior and sexism. Christina Scavo and Shannon O’Toole also sued New York Jets team and their massage therapist coordinator Lisa Ripi as well.

The law suit reads that one of the therapists received text messages from Brett Favre where he hinted a three way with her and Christina Scavo. One message allegedly read that he wants to “get together” with them. Moreover, Brett Favre, reportedly, told them that he has “bad intentions” as he is all alone at his home. Though the third therapist did not join in the lawsuit but she showed Christina Scavo the message and the latter’s husband Joseph Scavo contacted Brett Favre and asked him to apologize. However, the lawsuit claims that the quarterback refused to apologize and responded in somewhat “inappropriate manner”.

Brett Favre paid $50,000 fine to NFL after he was proved guilty in the investigation regarding Jenn Sterger scandal. On the other hand, the present lawsuit by the therapists claim that Lisa Ripi, the massage therapist coordinator also threatened them and send them angry messages by stating that they would not be allowed to work again for New York Jets. On the other hand, Lisa Ripi said that these women should have kept the matter within the team.
