Another Lawsuit has Been Filed against Browns Deshaun Watson
Another woman has now filed a lawsuit against Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson. This would make it 23 women who have filed against the Browns quarterback now. This is the most recent filing and the first since the original 22 came about.
In this case, the woman states in 2020 her and Watson had three encounters. According to the report, Watson exposed himself, touched the woman between her legs and asked her to have sex with him multiple times.
The woman has came forward since the segment on Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel aired on HBO.
“In that piece, plaintiff was struck by the courage of the victims willing to step forward and speak and was extremely displeased by Watson and his legal team’s mistreatment and revictimizations of the plaintiffs. But it was Watson himself claiming that even now he has 'no regrets’ and has done nothing wrong that solidified her resolve. She brings this case seeking minimum compensation, but to obtain a court finding that Watson’s conduct was wrong,” the lawsuit states.
To this point, Watson has denied any wrong doing, said he’s unwilling to settle. Now, it’s 23 woman against Watson and the issue continues to grow.
“Other cases may come. The Watson defense team has vilified these women and this cause. Shame on them. We look forward to trying this case in court,” Tony Buzbee, attorney of the plaintiffs said.
Update: A spa owner, Dionne Louis, testified in one of the cases pending against Watson that he paid her $5,000 because “he’s a nice person.”
The 23rd person to sue against Watson, Nia Smith, says that Louis facilitated massages for Watson and knew Watson was attempting to have sex with the massage therapists.
