Abstract

The article focuses on the Netflix documentary *Untold: The Fall of Favre*, which examines two major controversies involving Hall of Fame quarterback Brett Favre: allegations of sexual harassment against former New York Jets reporter Jenn Sterger in 2008, and Favre's involvement in the misuse of Mississippi public welfare funds benefiting his alma mater and a concussion-drug company. Sterger, who faced significant public backlash and career setbacks after the harassment allegations became public, is portrayed as a central figure highlighting the challenges women face in sports media, especially before the #MeToo era. The documentary explores Sterger's experience with the NFL investigation, the media's treatment of her, and her ongoing process of healing and advocacy.
