Brett Favre Slams Netflix Documentary as Political Hit Over Trump Support

Hall of Fame quarterback Brett Favre is throwing a flag on Netflix, suggesting their new documentary, Untold: The Fall of Favre, is a political hit job aimed at his vocal support for President Donald Trump. The streaming giant’s latest release dives into two major controversies surrounding the former NFL star: alleged inappropriate messages sent to a woman during his time with the New York Jets and his purported role in a Mississippi welfare scandal.

Favre didn’t hold back, amplifying social media posts that slammed Netflix for what some call a targeted attack. One post claimed the documentary’s timing—hot on the heels of Trump’s 2024 election win—smells like a political vendetta. Another suggested that Favre’s conservative stance made him a prime target, arguing that without his Trump endorsement, this documentary might not exist.

Speaking at a Trump rally in October 2024, Favre didn’t mince words. He called voting for Kamala Harris “insane,” comparing the election to a football game where it’s time to “bench” Harris and let Trump, the “star quarterback,” take the field. “Kamala broke it. Trump will fix it,” Favre declared, doubling down on his long-standing support for Trump, which dates back to his 2020 endorsement over issues like free speech, gun rights, and support for the military and police.

The documentary’s release has sparked heated debate, with fans and critics alike questioning whether Netflix is playing fair or if this is another case of a public figure’s politics putting them in the crosshairs. For Favre, it’s just another day in the spotlight—on and off the field.
