MANHATTAN — Former New York Jets quarterback Brett Favre is being sued for sending sexual text messages — again.

In a lawsuit filed in Manhattan Supreme Court, two former massage therapists for the Jets alleged that Favre sent messages in the summer of 2008 asking for a threesome with the two of them. The masseuses, Christina Scavo and Shannon O'Toole, claimed that they lost their jobs after refusing Favre's advances, according to published reports.

"Brett here," the New York Post wrote of the alleged text from Favre to O'Toole. "[Y]ou and crissy want to get together im all alone [sic]."

The football star followed up with a text saying, "Kinda lonely tonight I guess I have bad intentions."

Scavo told her husband about the texts and he contacted Favre asking that the football star stop reaching out to his wife, the Post reported.

"Mr. Scavo further requested that Favre apologize for his inappropriate behavior of sexually harassing Christina Scavo and other massage therapists," the lawsuit said.

Favre refused to apologize and the therapists were not asked to work for the Jets again after that, according to the Post.

"He essentially told him to go away and as a celebrity he couldn't be bothered with the little people," the therapists' lawyer, David Jarosclawicz, told the Post.

The lawsuit comes after former Jets sideline reporter Jenn Sterger alleged that Favre sent her inappropriate photos and left voice mails on her cell phone.
