Let's revisit the sexting scandal involving Jenn Sterger and Brett Favre.

For those who may not remember (or are unaware), reports emerged on Deadspin in October 2010 alleging that during the 2008 NFL season, Brett Favre sent Jenn lewd text messages, voicemails inviting her to his hotel rooms, and sexual photos of himself.

At the time, Favre was the quarterback for the New York Jets, and Jenn was the "Gameday Host" for the organization.

This disturbing controversy is the central focus of Netflix's documentary UNTOLD: The Fall of Favre, which chronicles the former NFL quarterback's public downfall.

"I was never treated like a person," Jenn says in a powerful scene, accompanied by clips of media personalities and fans from that time blaming her for Favre's scandal.

Jenn reflects on the lack of empathy she received at the time, stating, "I think one of the reasons why it's so hard for people to have any empathy for me on the internet is because I'm just a picture to them. And he was Brett Favre."

The former reporter then shares details of what happened between her and Favre and how his inappropriate behavior became public against her will. At one point, she reveals that "the craziest part" of the entire scandal is that she and Favre had never met in person.

"I've never met him," Jenn says, noting they never crossed paths during Favre's one season with the Jets in 2008. "We've never been in the same room. We've never shaken hands. We had no kind of relationship, no rapport, nothing."

Jenn discloses that Favre first noticed her from a distance in a stadium tunnel before a Jets game. He asked a staffer to get her number, which she claims was given to the QB without her consent. This led to Favre sending her inappropriate texts, voicemails, and ultimately an unsolicited explicit photo.

Though Jenn never publicly shared the interactions, she mentioned the unwanted contact to sports journalist A.J. Daulerio, who was the editor-in-chief of Deadspin at the time. Two years later, A.J. published the details without Jenn's consent.

"I had said to a couple people, at the end of this, if there are two s--mbags out of this situation, it's myself and Brett Favre," A.J. told CNN's Reliable Sources in a clip featured in the Netflix documentary.
