Deshaun Watson Denies Assault Allegation After Lawsuit Filed Against Him
Written by SOURCE on March 17, 2021
Deshaun Watson took to Twitter on Tuesday night to deny allegations that he sexually assaulted a female masseuse after Houston attorney Tony Buzbee said that he filed a lawsuit against the NFL star through his Buzbee Law Firm.
Speaking to Fox 26 Houston, Buzbee alleged that Watson “went too far” while getting a massage.
“As a result of a social media post by a publicity-seeking plaintiff’s lawyer, I recently became aware of a lawsuit against me,” Watson wrote. “I have not yet seen the complaint, but I know this: I have never treated any woman with anything other than the utmost respect.”
Watson added that the attorney “made a baseless six-figure settlement demand,” which the NFL quarterback said he rejected.
You can read Watson’s full statement, in which he says he’s looking forward to “clearing my name,” below.
Buzbee announced on social media that he filed the suit against Watson earlier on Tuesday night.
