NFL legend Brett Favre, 54, reveals he is battling With….see more
NFL Hall of Famer Brett Favre has revealed he was recently diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease at the age of 54.
The Packers legend revealed the shocking health update while speaking at a Congressional hearing on welfare misspending and reform.
While testifying, Favre read from pre-written notes and began speaking about the now-defunct drug company Prevacus, in which he was the top outside investor.
‘Sadly, I also lost an investment in a company that I believed was developing a breakthrough concussion drug I thought would help others,’ he said.
‘I’m sure you’ll understand, while it’s too late for me because I’ve recently been diagnosed with Parkinson’s, this is also a cause dear to my heart.’
Favre – who played in the NFL for 20 years – has previously spoken openly about suffering ‘thousands’ of concussions on the football field.
Last year, Favre became embroiled in the largest case of public fraud in state history, when he was named in a civil lawsuit filed by the Mississippi Department of Human Services.
It is alleged that at least $77million in welfare funds meant for needy families was instead funneled to the rich and powerful, with $8m going to Favre himself or causes he championed.
Favre, who denies any wrongdoing and has not been criminally charged, repaid $1.1million across two payments in 2020 and 2021, but is still being pursued for $727,000 in interest by Mississippi State Auditor Shad White.
The NFL icon also recently sued ex-NFL players and media commentators Shannon Sharpe and Pat McAfee over comments made about him and the funds.
The lawsuit against McAfee was dropped after he publicly apologized for telling viewers of his popular TV show that Favre was ‘stealing from the poor people of Mississippi’.
Favre is currently facing the House Ways and Means Committee for a hearing on the need for ‘guardrails’ when it comes to dispersing ‘Temporary Assistance for Needy Families’ funds.
During his NFL career, the quarterback played for the Atlanta Falcons, Green Bay Packers, New York Jets and Minnesota Vikings.
He won the Super Bowl with the Packers in 1997, and was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2016.

Elvira, 73, exposes Ariana Grande, 31, and says she was her worst and rudest Celeb encounter for what she did to her and Ari was quick to clap back but fans negatively react “Anxiety is not an excuse!”
During a recent conversation with her fans, Cassandra Peterson — better known as Elvira, Mistress of the Dark — revealed she had a bad interaction with a celebrity whose name “rhymes with Pariana Mande.” She then doubled down, reposting an article about her remarks on Instagram and hash-tagging Ariana Grande’s name.
It was this post that caught Ariana Grande’s eye. “I’m so disheartened to see this,” the Wicked star commented on Elvira’s post. “I actually don’t even remember getting the chance to meet you because I had an anxiety attack and to my memory, left before the rest of my family.”
In parentheses, Grande explained that she went to Elvira’s show “around 7 years ago,” when she was “really not great with being in public crowds or loud places.” She went on to apologize, and to praise Elvira. “If I’m misremembering this moment, I sincerely apologize for offending you so,” she wrote. “Thank you for being so nice to my mom, she told me how lovely you were (she might have different feelings about that now but I’ll talk to her… clearly, we all have our days!)”
What Happened Between Ariana & Elvira?
Elvira told fans about her encounter with Grande during a Q&A at Knott’s Berry Farm in California, claiming that the pop star requested 20 tickets to her show for her family and friends, but refused to take a picture with her in return.
“We gave her the tickets and she comes backstage and she asks if I can take pictures with all of her friends and relatives she brought,” she recalled, as seen in a viral video. “I take a picture with every single one of them, I sign autographs for every single one of them. Then I say to her, ‘Can we take a photo together?’ And she goes, ‘No, I don’t really do that.’”
Elvira also remembered that Grande left before the show began, which aligns with Grande’s memory of the night. “All her relatives stayed, and she took off,” Elvira said.
Here’s Ariana’s response:
After a round of boos from the Q&A audience, someone on stage with Elvira quipped, “she’s playing the wrong witch,” nodding to Grande’s role in Wicked as Glinda the Good Witch.
There seem to be no hard feelings on Grande’s side, as she ended her comment by writing “sending love always” and declaring that Elvira will “always be our queen of halloween.” Elvira has yet to respond to Grande’s apology.

Keanu Reeves, 60, finally Confirmed Marriage to Winona Ryder, 52, after 30 years, reacting to the viral marriage rumors between him and Alexandra Grant “I want to clear all doubts and make things clear that…” See more
Winona Ryder and Keanu Reeves are still madly in (platonic) love with each other.
The former “Dracula” costars have known each other since the 1980s and, as they divulged during a 2018 press tour for “Destination Wedding,” their onscreen nuptials in the 1992 Bram Stoker adaptation might’ve been legally binding.
On the “Happy Sad Confused” podcast Monday, host Josh Horowitz asked Ryder how “the two biggest luddites on the planet” even keep in touch.
“I know,” said Ryder. “But we do text, and we always say who it is, even though it says it on the text … On his birthday, when I’m like, ‘Happy Birthday, my husband!’ and I put ‘Noni,’ he’s like, ‘Hey, wife! Love you, KR 57.’ On each birthday he’s like, ‘KR 57’ or whatever his age is.”
“He’s always done that,” she explained.
Ryder and Reeves were familiar with each other long before they were cast in “Dracula.”
“We met in the late ’80s, like ’87, ’88, at one of the early Independent Spirit Awards at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel,” she told People in 2018. “It wasn’t televised. Buck Henry was the emcee, and we gave out Best Supporting Actor.”
Ryder also explained to the outlet that she had initiated their “Destination Wedding” collaboration.
“I emailed him,” she said, adding: “I was so happy because he responded.”
During an Entertainment Weekly interview with Reeves in 2018, Ryder revealed that director Francis Ford Coppola had used “a real Romanian priest” for their “Dracula” wedding scene.
“We said yes?” Reeves asked Ryder, who confirmed as much. “Oh my gosh, we’re married,” he joked.
The Romanian nuptials presumably didn’t hold, however, as Reeves and Ryder have both pursued various other romantic interests over the years.
They’re each currently in relationships with other people: Reeves has been dating artist Alexandra Grant since 2019, and Ryder’s longtime partner is fashion designer Scott Mackinlay Hahn. However, neither actor has ever tied the knot — except, of course, (potentially) with each other.
