Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson listed the services of 66 massage therapists in a span of 17 months between the fall of 2019 and the spring of 2021. In a report, Watson was said to have given a non-disclosure agreement to some of the female massage therapists that were provided to him by the Houston Texans' director of security. The list of massage therapists includes the 24 women who filed lawsuits against him.
According to The New York Times, Watson’s troubling behavior appears to have been enabled by the Texans all along. The agreement was reportedly left in Watson’s locker at the NRG Stadium just days after one of the women posted his phone number on Instagram. The Texans declined to comment about the agreement and remained firm on the fact they only found out about the allegations against Watson’s behavior at the time the first lawsuit was filed in March 2021.
On Monday, Watson’s attorney, Rusty Hardin said his legal team has not had the time to investigate the latest lawsuit filed by a woman who claimed to have given massages to Watson twice. In the lawsuit, the woman said the first booking had Watson leaving abruptly after receiving a call and on the second booking scheduled a few days later, the 26-year-old player exposed himself and masturbated in front of the massage therapist. Watson offered no apology or an explanation to the woman for his conduct leading her to quit massage therapy altogether.
"We are unable to respond to the new lawsuit at this time. Our legal team has not had time to investigate this new filing and had not heard her name until today. Deshaun continues to deny he did anything inappropriate with any of the plaintiffs,” Hardin stated.
Watson has denied all allegations of misconduct and wrongdoing as he continues to insist that he has never assaulted, harassed or disrespected any woman in his life. Meanwhile, in a cryptic post on his Instagram last Tuesday, Watson quoted lyrics from a song by Lil Durk and Lil Baby which may well be his way of hitting on his current legal battles.
“See, the blogs can’t break me down, see, I’m the voice, I don’t reply. But the rumors y’all done heard, I’ma humbly deny, yeah, yeah,” he wrote on his Instagram Story.
