Massage Therapist Stephanie Dusenberry Claims Brett Favre, Other Vikings Players, Sent Her Lewd Text Messages

An independent massage therapist named Stephanie Dusenberry has claimed that several Minnesota Vikings players, including Brett Favre, sent her lewd text messages last September, according to a report on Deadspin.

In a message sent to Deadspin from her blackberry, Dusenberry alleged that she received a text from a Hattisburg, Miss. number. According to Dusenberry, the sender claimed to be Favre and requested that she work on him. When she said no, Dusenberry claimed that the man said, "you don't know what its like to not be touched by a woman for three weeks."

According to the report, the massage therapist from Eden Prairie, Minn. was willing to go public with the information due to the NFL's "light punishment of Favre over the Jenn Sterger allegations."

Favre was fined $50,000 for his lack of cooperation in the league's investigation into whether he sent Sterger racy text voicemails and naked photos in 2008.

Dusenberry reportedly worked for the Vikings in 2006-07 and left to start her own business.

More on Dusenberry from Deadspin:

She maintained good relationships with several players, including Chester Taylor and quarterback Tarvaris Jackson, some of whom she worked with this past season. At some point in the past two years, Dusenberry began to receive unwelcome advances from a number of current and former players on the Vikings. She had problems both in session and out of session with former Vikings defensive back Dwight Smith, wide receiver Aundrae Allison, and back-up running back Albert Young.

She claimed that Young sent her a naked photo via text message and that Favre's text messages were "similar to the ones he allegedly sent the Jets' massage therapists."

After telling Favre that the texts were making her uncomfortable, Favre allegedly responded by saying, "it's not like that."

Police reportedly told Dusenberry that Favre wasn't doing anything legally wrong.

Christina Scavo and Shannon O'Toole, two massage therapists who used to work for the New York Jets, sued Favre for sexual harassment and accused the legendary quarterback of costing them their part-time jobs with the team.

Does anyone know how long cell phone providers are allowed to keep text messages/images on their databases? I would think all this inuendo could be proven with a subpeona but I've been told that the companies are legally obligated to purge fairly quickly. Can't really find a definitive answer on the internet so far.

Favre was raised in a seedy little hole in Mississippi. Guys like that just can't get it into their heads that a massage therapist might really be a massage therapist.

To abuse and harass a woman who fears losing her livelihood in this economy is criminal, and I hope he has to pay up big time.

He was not the only one. Where is the rage for the other players.

She mentioned other players, just like Sterger did. That leaves one harassment claim. Who are the other players and why are her defenders skipping over or dodging this angle of the story.

why are people ignoring the fact he was not the only one? since when is Deadspin an authority that files complaints. What happened to working for money in this country?

The most pathetic thing about the sterger story is that she told deadspin everything in feburary and august 2010. Between that time and October 8 2010. She managed to say Danica Patricks hair looked like and extreme sexual practice I will not mention here, and said on September 11 or 16 that Ines Sainz got exactly what she was looking for. The stuff was stolen from her computer only because her phone broke... aka she held out because she knew she screwed up. She was going to go on record anyway as stated at the bottom of the Aug 4 2010 "Not a love story" So yes this is her fault. Not because of the way she dresses, but because she could not keep her mouth shut while laughing to all her friends, including Allisont Torres, who said sterger was not offended. She changed her story . At least once and thats why I don't support her at all.
Some food for fought Denise.

If the Green Bay Packers win the Super Bowl, wouldn’t it be hysterical if Brett Favre sent Aaron Rodgers a congratulatory text… but mistakenly sent him the same text he sent Jenn Sterger?

Don't forget to enter my Super Bowl contest. It's free.

looks like he might have been doing this for a while, and from what I know about people who do it once, will do it again and again

All these accusations must be stressful for Favre to need a massage. Oh wait...
