NEW YORK (AP)—Two massage therapists say in a lawsuit that complaining about sexually suggestive text messages from Brett Favre(notes) cost them their part-time jobs with the New York Jets.
Christina Scavo and Shannon O’Toole sued the Minnesota Vikings quarterback, the Jets and a Jets massage coordinator Monday in a Manhattan court. The lawsuit comes days after the NFL fined Favre $50,000 for not being candid in an investigation into allegations that he sent lewd text messages and photos to a Jets game hostess.
Favre’s agent didn’t immediately return a telephone call. The Jets declined to comment.
The lawsuit says Favre send a third, unidentified massage therapist a 2008 text message asking whether she and Scavo “want to get together” and suggesting he had “bad intentions.”
