Amid accusations, Deanna Favre relies on faith, outward focus

NEW YORK -- Deanna Favre said her religious faith and an outward focus are helping her overcome the allegations of improper behavior that have been leveled against her husband, Brett.

Deanna Favre was interviewed Thursday on "Good Morning America" about a book she co-authored with Shane Stanford called "The Cure for the Chronic Life," which is about getting past hard times and patterns of unhealthy behavior.

During the interview, Deanna was asked how she's handling the accusations against Brett Favre, who is being investigated by the NFL for allegedly sending suggestive messages and lewd photos to a woman who worked for the New York Jets.

Deanna Favre says: "I'm handling this through faith."

She didn't address whether the allegations against her husband, now a quarterback for the Minnesota Vikings, are true or false.
