Random speculation time!

My guess: Favre paid her to keep silent and she's worried about what to do caught between an NFL investigation and a confidentiality agreement.

Probably because Favre has one, and only a fool allows themselves to be the only one without representation.

Lawyers are bloodsuckers, but they're a necessary evil.
