NEW YORK (CBS) Two former massage therapists for the New York Jets, Christina Scavo and Shannon O'Toole, are claiming they too were victims of sexual harassment by quarterback Brett Favre.

The harassment suit claims Favre sought to have group sex with Scavo and an unnamed third therapist.
According to the New York Daily News, the famed quarterback allegedly texted: "Brett here you and crissy want to get together im all alone." And a second message cited in the lawsuit said, "Kinda lonely tonight, I guess I have bad intentions."
According to Scavo, Favre "eyed her like a hanging slab of beef" and after telling her husband about the texts, he confronted Favre on the phone and demanded an apology. Favre, the suit claims, refused. Scavo and O'Toole say because of the incidents they "were never again called to provide massage therapy for the Jets" and that a Jets employee told O'Toole: "Chrissy and you will never work for the Jets again." and "Keep your mouth shut."
Rumors about the harassment began to surface back in the fall when Favre was was accused of leaving suggestive voicemail messages and sending x-rated pictures to Jets sideline reporter Jenn Sterger.
Last week, Favre was fined $50,000 by NFL commissioner Roger Goodell for failing to fully cooperate in the league's investigation.
According to CBS News' "The Early Show," the massage therapists are seeking unspecified monetary damages.
So far, Favre and the NFL have said nothing about the lawsuit.
