It looks like we’re going to have Jenn Sterger back in our lives for a little while. Or at least on PFT.

Neil Johnson of the Tampa Tribune reports that Sterger has sued her former manager Phil Reese over his possession of texts and emails relating to the Brett Favre scandal.

Sterger claims that Reese plans to use the emails and texts in a book that he’s writing. Reese works for a P.R. agency in New York, but apparently has signed a book deal to write about his involvement in the Favre fiasco. Sterger is asking a judge in Hillsborough County, Florida to invalidate an apparent separate book agreement Sterger entered with Reese.

Sterger seemed to lose public sympathy last year the longer her ordeal dragged on, but it’s hard not to feel bad for her here.

It seemed obvious all along she was accepting some bad advice during the whole mess, and this lawsuit is proof she had the wrong people running the show.
