The saga of Pat McAfee and Brett Favre gets real as the former Packers QB officially served the American media personality with a civil lawsuit for defamation regarding the Mississippi welfare scandal.
The Green Bay Packers legend is suing Pat McAfee for damaging his character and reputation with groundless allegations. Favre alleges that the former Indianapolis Colts punter accused him of intentionally stealing money from the poor people of Mississippi. Pat McAfee, former Denver Broncos tight end Shannon Sharpe and Mississippi state auditor Shad White had all allegedly accused Favre of stealing more than $1 million in welfare funds.
After the allegations, Favre repaid $1.1 million in two installments to the state of Mississippi, but he’s gonna sue the three people that accused him, regardless. Amidst all this, McAfee announced on Sunday that he has been officially sued by Brett Favre. The former punter posted the defamation suit on Twitter with a gif that read officially served.
The lawsuit allegedly claims that Pat McAfee used his media to fuel the false allegations and accusations regarding the Mississippi welfare scandal. Favre has publicly denied the implications of him knowingly stealing money from welfare funds.
“No one ever told me, and I did not know, that funds designated for welfare recipients were going to the university or me,” Favre said in a statement. “I tried to help my alma mater [the University of Southern Mississippi], a public Mississippi state university, raise funds for a wellness center. My goal was and always will be to improve the athletic facilities at my university.”
Pat McAfee claims he’s not worried about the lawsuit
It seems like Pat McAfee is embracing his feud with the Packers legend Brett Favre. The 2-time NFL Pro Bowler has openly spoken about how he is not worried about Favre’s lawsuit since he just reported the news that was already there.
Even when Favre first announced that he was going to sue Pat McAfee and Shannon Sharpe, McAfee responded by saying that he will see Favre in court. “A lot of people are wondering how my lawyers are gonna handle this,” McAfee said. “You know it, I ain’t got ’em, so let’s ride this f**ker, I’m excited to see how it goes I’ll see you in court pal.”
And now, he responds with a funny gif after being officially served the court documents. The former All-Pro punter is confident he’ll not face defeat in this lawsuit, however, only time will tell what will happen next.
