Brett Favre reshares post alleging Netflix's attempt to “tarnish” his name for supporting Donald Trump

On Tuesday, Netflix released a documentary on former NFL quarterback Brett Favre, titled "UNTOLD: The Fall of Favre," which detailed his on-field heroics and off-field scandals. However, in less than 24 hours after the documentary hit the streaming platform, a podcaster who goes by the username @SteveLovesAmmo tweeted a long message about how most celebrity scandals pop up when they vocally support US President Donald Trump.

Favre later reposted the tweet, which suggested that his Netflix documentary allegedly tried to "tarnish" his image since he supported Trump.

Favre has been a longtime Trump supporter and even rallied for the President in Green Bay in October before the elections.

“It’s an honor to be back here where it all started to campaign with the next president of the United States, Donald J. Trump,” Favre told the crowd at the Resch Center in the Green Bay suburb of Ashwaubenon.

Favre, a native of Mississippi, was found to be involved in a welfare scandal in 2020. Reports claimed that state employees were taking money from funds dedicated to families in need for personal use and the use of high-profile athletes, where Favre's name was also involved.

However, Favre was not charged with any crime. He also denied any wrongdoing, but had to pay $1.1 million for speaking events where he was not present.
