Brett Favre blocks reporter asking why he hasn't repaid $600K in welfare funds, as promised year ago

In 2020, Brett Favre’s name surfaced in an alleged multimillion-dollar welfare fraud scheme in his home state of Mississippi. According to the state audit, $1.1 million in funds went to Favre for appearances he did not make.

The audit states that the Mississippi Community Education Center paid Favre’s company, Favre Enterprises, $500,000 in December 2017 and $600,000 in June 2018 for appearances.

Favre promised to repay the money back, and on May 6th, 2020 — he gave back $500K.

The former NFL QB has still not repaid $600,000 of Mississippi welfare funds he received from a non-profit for speaking engagements he did not attend, according to a report Thursday.

Favre did not return calls and messages Thursday, Mississippi Today reported.

In fact, reporter Anna Wolfe messaged him about it, showed up to his gate to speak about it, only to find out he had blocked her on Twitter.
