Do the New "Favre Plaintiffs" Have Real Damages?
Back in October of last year, we wrote that if former New York Jets game host Jenn Sterger sued Brett Favre, she may have a problem showing any significant damages as she left the team (after Favre's alleged inappropriate behavior) to host a television show (and presumably made more money).
However, the plaintiffs in the new sexual harrassment suit against Favre, Shannon O'Toole and Christina Scavo, may have "real damages" if their claims are true. Unlike Sterger, the "Favre plaintiffs" lost their jobs, as massage therapists, with the Jets and therefore should have a quantifiable lost wages claim to go along with their sexual harassment allegations.
If the Favre plaintiffs have real and quantifiable damages, then Favre and his legal team may have a potential incentive to settle this lawsuit before it drags on and drags down Favre's future, as well as, his legacy.
