Brett Favre Blocks Reporter Who Asked Him About Repaying $600k In State Welfare Funds

Former Green Bay Packers Quarterback Brett Favre seems to be in the news just as much as the Packers current QB. Favre’s latest controversy involves the the $600k of the $1.1 million he still hasn’t repaid from Mississippi welfare funds he received from a non-profit for multiple speaking engagements. The kicker, he never attended the events.

Farve did give back $500,000 of the money with a promise to repay the remaining portion of the $1.1 million he received from the Mississippi Community Education Center.

2/4 I have never received monies for obligations I didn’t meet. To reiterate Auditors White’s statement, I was unaware that the money being dispersed was paid for out of funds not intended for that purpose, and because of that I am refunding the full amount back to Mississippi.

Someone on Twitter called him out, asking when he plans on paying the remainder of the money he received.

Mississippi Today reporter Anna Wolfe questioned Favre about the money he still owes.

Via Mississippi Today

“Though officials have not accused him of a crime, Favre said he would refund the money. He made an initial payment of $500,000. Favre has not made any additional payments, a spokesperson for the auditor’s office told Mississippi Today on Thursday morning. Because federal authorities are still investigating the payment to Favre, no one has demanded he repay the funds. No other recipients whose payments were questioned in the audit have voluntarily refunded the money, either, the spokesperson said.”

Favre has ignored DMs from Wolfe.

He even blocked her.

Sounds like Brett is in no hurry to pay the remaining balance.

The Old Gunslinger is as elusive as ever.
