Deshaun Watson

A top NFL insider suggests the latest allegations against Deshaun Watson could renew debate about him being on the Commissioner Exempt List.

All of this means that Goodell could at least consider using the Commissioner’s Exempt list. While the NFL wouldn’t comment on the latest allegation, one top league insider raised the possibility of commissioner Roger Goodell taking a new approach. Following the latest accusation against Watson, attorney Rusty Hardin responded by saying the newest victim to come forward was not previously on their radar. The latest accusation made against Watson went public on Monday, coming a week after some of his accusers spoke to HBO Sports regarding their experiences. The Browns traded three first-round picks for Watson knowing he had 22 civil suits against him alleging misconduct and sexual assault. Already facing a possible suspension, the newest allegation could have another impact on Watson.

“The allegations made in this new case are strikingly similar to those made by many of the other victims. Lost in the media frenzy surrounding Deshaun Watson is that these are twenty-four strong, courageous women who, despite ridicule, legal shenanigans, and intense media scrutiny, continue to stand firm for what is right.” After the event, the plaintiff quit massage therapy.

Deshaun Watson was hit with his 24th lawsuit on Monday, accusing him of sexual misconduct during a massage therapy session.

Deshaun continues to deny he did anything inappropriate with any of the plaintiffs," the statement read. The lawsuit said Watson allegedly began to masturbate and ejaculated with some of his ejaculate getting on the accuser’s face and chest. Watson then paid the therapist and didn’t apologize, the lawsuit said.

In this lawsuit, the plaintiff, Katy Williams, alleges that Watson at one point began masturbating in front of the plaintiff, and when she refused Watson's advances, Watson stood up, continued masturbating. In this lawsuit, the plaintiff, Katy Williams, alleges that Watson at one point began masturbating in front of the plaintiff, and when she refused Watson's advances, Watson stood up, continued masturbating. So now we are at 24 lawsuits against Watson. In the interview I conducted with Hardin, it was very clear to me that the biggest obstacle to successfully defending Watson was the sheer volume of accusers. This is what the Cleveland Browns have signed up for. What Plaintiff alleges herein is disgusting and abhorrent conduct, a habit and custom of conduct, that is actionable under the laws of the State of Texas. Despite Watson's legal team's efforts to normalize such conduct, such conduct is not normal, and is legally actionable." Watson's lawyer goes on to say that making a massage therapist "uncomfortable" due to the type of conduct described herein is not a crime.

Deshaun Watson Suspension looming? His attorney hints that his client is likely to be suspended by the NFL. This could be major news.

I think the Browns quarterback should in fact sit out the entire year again. Watson guided the Texans to consecutive division titles in 2018 and 2019 and led the league in passing yards in 2020. I am wondering if the Cleveland Browns are starting to question whether or not the Deshaun Watson signing was the best move.

I will say again, our entire team is incredibly proud to represent these women, and we look forward to the day when we can lay out their cases in detail in front of a jury.” “Lost in the media frenzy surrounding Deshaun Watson is that these are twenty-four strong, courageous women who, despite ridicule, legal shenanigans, and intense media scrutiny, continue to stand firm for what is right.

Watson began taking the N.D.A. to massages that same week, giving one to the woman in Manvel, who signed it, and another to a woman who said in her lawsuit that she ended the session after he suggested a sexual act. Watson acknowledged in a deposition that the Texans arranged for him to have “a place” at The Houstonian. He used the fitness club, dined there and also set up massages in hotel rooms. In a deposition on May 13, he was asked about the text message he sent to Ashley Solis, one of his accusers, immediately after their appointment in March 2020. Watson has been shuttling between Cleveland, where he is training with his new team, and Houston, where he met with N.F.L. investigators and is giving depositions in the lawsuits. In June 2020, one woman said in her suit, Louis drove her to a hotel to meet Watson for a massage, during which he groped her and touched her hand with his penis. Watson said in a deposition that he used this N.D.A. only for massage appointments because he had lawyers and agents who handled his other business. She said in the second session he asked her if she wanted his penis in her mouth, and that he repeatedly requested sex in their third and final massage. Days later, when Watson went to work at the Texans’ stadium, he found an N.D.A. in his locker. Smith said that during their first massage, Watson asked her to put her fingers inside his anus, a request she said she told Louis about afterward. She looked out for him, she said in a deposition, sometimes arranging for a security guard when Watson came in, concerned the expensive cars he drove might make him a target for a robbery. When he ejaculated during the second appointment and then asked her for another massage later that day at the Houstonian, she first agreed, then told him she could not make it. The woman told Watson she wanted to keep things “professional and respectful.”

If they find a good trainer, they keep them. If they find a good chef, they keep them. "Watson regularly presented himself as an ally to businesswomen. It’s a damning report on top of everything else that Watson has already been accused of, all of which he has denied so far. A few of these additional women, speaking publicly for the first time, described experiences that undercut Watson’s insistence that he was only seeking professional massage therapy. The report also infers that his former team, the Houston Texans, played a role in enabling Watson to keep his indiscretions under wraps.

The Texans' head of security provided Watson with a non-disclosure agreement he would later give to massage therapists prior to sessions.

One woman who spoke with The Times anonymously but did not sue Watson said the quarterback requested she massage him around his testicles and anus during their first session and that after she laughed off the request, he forced her hand to the area. Watson's lawyer, Rusty Hardin, told The Times that Watson "continues to vehemently deny" the allegations of sexual assault and misconduct. Hardin defended the extensive communication, calling it "standard practice" for lawyers to work with prosecutors and law enforcement. He had reached out to her on Instagram and wrote that he was "tryna support black businesses" and suggested they meet at The Houstonian. Two of those women filed civil lawsuits against Watson and two more brought complaints to the police. On Tuesday, Vrentas cited findings from depositions of the civil lawsuits of the now-Browns' quarterback in which Watson faces alleging sexual assault and misconduct.

Watson, who sat out last season while on the Houston Texans’ roster, has denied any wrongdoing and said any sexual encounters with the women suing him were consensual. However, during the sessions, Watson got fully undressed and directed her toward his groin. One woman, who said Watson purchased 30 bottles of her $40 skin cleanser, had a few appointments with the quarterback during the summer of 2020.

The quarterback is facing 24 active civil lawsuits filed by massage therapists, each detailing graphic accounts of sexual harassment and sexual assault.

A grand jury in Brazoria County declined to charge Watson on a 10th count on March 24. A clause built into the contract will have Watson losing only $55,556 for every game he’s suspended this season, as he is set to make just $1 million in 2022. On June 6, the 24th lawsuit was filed and details a similar account to the 23 other suits against Watson. Hardin did not respond to The Times when asked if Watson had sexual contact with other therapists. Though there was no sexual contact, she said in the interview that he got completely naked and directed her toward his groin. Another one of the women filed a suit against Watson but withdrew her complaint due to “privacy and security concerns” days after judges ruled that the plaintiffs had to reveal their identities.

According to a new report, Watson received massages from 66 different women in 17 months, and was provided with hotel rooms and NDAs by his former team.

Ashley Solis and Kyla Hayes, two other therapists who also have accused Watson of inappropriate sexual conduct, appeared on HBO Sports' Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel last week, criticizing the Browns' actions. After not thinking much of the request, he reportedly grabbed her wrist and put her hand there. According to The Times' findings, the new report contradicts previous claims made by Watson that he booked appointments with 40 different massage therapists during his five seasons with Houston. Multiple reports from the 66 women stated the same troubling behavior from the former Texans quarterback during sessions.

The Browns quarterback seemingly replied to the article in an Instagram story posted Tuesday.

According to The Times, two of the women who gave massages at The Houstonian filed civil lawsuits and two complained to the police. “Deshaun Watson vehemently denies the allegations, just as he has since she first discussed them with members of our firm in March of last year,” Hardin said. According to Cash App receipts and text messages included in the petition’s documents, “Watson paid Dionne Louis at least five thousand dollars for Louis’s ‘work.’” The latest petition claimed that the spa “provided” women for the quarterback.
