Brett Favre's career may have ended on Sunday afternoon, but any intentions to step out of the spotlight for the 41-year-old may be premature — and not for good reason.

According to ABC News, Favre is being sued by two massage therapists formerly employed by the New York Jets who are claiming the quarterback sexually harrassed them during his time with the Jets.

The report states that Christina Scavo and Shannon O'Toole filed suit in the Supreme Court of the State of New York on Monday. The former employees also filed suit against Lisa Ripi who is in charge of hiring massage therapists for the Jets.

According to the report, Scavo and O'Toole did not want to file suit, but when the Jets refused to give them their jobs back, they were left no choice.

The suit also claims that the Jets' locker room was a "a hot bed of sexual harassment, sexism and inappropriate behavior."

Favre was recently fined $50,000 by the NFL for failing to cooperate in an investigation into whether or not he sexually harrassed former Jets employee Jenn Sterger.
