Brett Favre, who is involved in the largest welfare fraud scandal in Mississippi history, has filed three separate defamation lawsuits against state auditor Shad White as well as Shannon Sharpe and Pat McAfee.

Favre's lawsuit against White, whose office first discovered the fraudulent spending that ultimately led to criminal charges against six people, accuses White of "shamelessly and falsely attacking Favre's good name" to advance his political career. 

Favre's lawsuit against Sharpe alleges the 14-year NFL veteran defamed Favre by saying on FOX that Favre was a "sorry mofo to steal from the lowest of the low," and that Favre "stole money from people that really needed that money."

Similar allegations were made in the lawsuit filed by Favre against former NFL punter Pat McAfee. According to the suit, McAfee called Favre a "thief" who was "stealing from poor people in Mississippi" on "The Pat McAfee Show." 

Favre's spokesperson declined to comment on the lawsuits.
