Brett Favre’s SiriusXM show and ESPN Milwaukee appearances have been suspended as news of his alleged involvement in a fraud scandal continues to emerge.
Former NFL quarterback Brett Favre’s SiriusXM radio show and ESPN Milwaukee show have both been put on hold as news of his involvement in a Mississippi welfare fraud scandal continues to emerge.
On Sunday, a SiriusXM spokesperson confirmed to PEOPLE that 52-year-old Favre’s The SiriusXM Blitz With Brett Favre and Bruce Murray, which released its most recent episode on Sept. 13, has been put on hold.
Favre, who played for the Atlanta Falcons, Green Bay Packers, New York Jets and Minnesota Vikings over a 20-year NFL career, has been hosting the show since 2018, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
On Sunday, NBC Sports reported that ESPN Milwaukee had temporarily suspended The Brett Favre Show, Favre’s Green Bay Packers show.
A rep for Favre did not immediately respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment Monday.
Brett Favre: Will the media find out that we’re using welfare funds intended to help the poorest residents of America’s poorest state to build a volleyball center.
Favre and ex-Mississippi Governor Phil Bryant allegedly plotted together to use welfare funds meant for poor residents in Mississippi to build a new volleyball stadium, according to an investigative report from Mississippi Today published on Sept. 13.
Based on never-before-seen text messages sent between Favre and Bryant, 67, from 2017 to 2019, it appeared that the former Packers quarterback may have collaborated with Bryant to funnel at least $5 million of the state’s welfare funds to build the stadium at the University of Southern Mississippi, where his daughter played volleyball.
