Deanna Favre, the wife of Vikings quarterback Brett Favre, appeared on two morning shows Thursday to promote a new book she has co-authored titled "The Cure for the Chronic Life."
While Favre is more than happy to talk about the book, she isn't discussing what's going on with regards to her husband's off-the-field issues with the NFL. There are allegations that Brett Favre sent inappropriate messages and photos to former New York Jets sidelilne reporter Jenn Sterger in 2008 when he played for the team.
"I won't go into anything personal," Denna Favre told Fox News when asked about what Brett has told her and how she is dealing with it. "But faith really is my crutch, it's always been my crutch. It always gets me through. It got me through many struggles that you can read [in the book]."
Asked later in the morning on ABC's "GMA" what she could say about the situation, her message didn't change. "I can tell you that faith, obviously I'm a woman of faith, and faith has gotten me through many difficult struggles, it will get me through this one and that's the reason Shane [Stanford] and I wrote the book," she said.
Told there were so many people that care about her and how she and Brett are handling this, Deanna said: "I'm handling this through faith. ... That's what I'm leaning on."
Deanna Favre has been through a lot beyond this latest situation. She stayed with Brett as he overcame a Vicodin addiction and drinking issues and then in 2004 went through the loss of her 24-year-old brother and four days later was diagnosed with breast cancer. She founded a charity to raise money and awareness about breast cancer.
Both hosts on "Fox and Friends" and "GMA" gave Deanna credit for not canceling the interview because it was set up long before the allegations against her husband came out.
Meanwhile, the lawyer for Sterger said Thursday afternoon that's "it's very unlikely anything will happen today" in terms of a decision being made on whether she will speak to the NFL to help in its investigation to see if Brett Favre violated the NFL's personal conduct policy.
