(New York Post) – Two former New York Jets massage therapists filed a sexual harassment suit Monday against Brett Favre and the Jets, charging they were fired after they spurned the quarterback’s crude advancements via text messages.
In papers filed in Manhattan Supreme Court, Christina Scavo and Shannon O’Toole say Favre made his move on them in the summer of 2008, after the pair had been working at the Jets training camp on Long Island.
“Brett here,” the alleged text to O’Toole began. “[Y]ou and crissy want to get together im all alone[sic].”
He then allegedly sent a follow-up text, saying, “Kinda lonely tonight I guess I have bad intentions.”
Scavo told her husband about the texts, and he called the football legend up, and “requested that he stop soliciting his wife for ‘bad intentions’ or to get together with her. Mr. Scavo further requested that Favre apologize for his inappropriate behavior of sexually harassing Christina Scavo and other massage therapists,” the suit says.
Favre “responded in an inappropriate manner and refused to apologize,” the filing says.
“He essentially told him to go away and as a celebrity he couldn’t be bothered with the little people,” said the therapists’ lawyer, David Jarosclawicz.
He said it was his clients who got fired after the hubby’s phone call. Scavo and O’Toole “were never again called to provide massage therapy for the Jets,” the suit says.
Jaroslawicz said his clients decided to come forward after former Jets’ sideline reporter Jenn Sterger’s story about being harassed with crude emails from Favre went public. “Then they knew it was a pattern,” Jaroslawicz said.
