It Appears as though Deshaun Watson isn’t out of the woods just yet.

On Tuesday afternoon, it was reported that another massage therapist has come out to accuse Watson of sexual assault, opening a separate lawsuit against the Browns QB.

Per ESPN:

“Another woman has filed a lawsuit against Deshaun Watson, joining 22 others who accused the Cleveland Browns quarterback in civil cases filed in 2021 of inappropriate sexual conduct during massage sessions.

In the 23rd civil case filed Tuesday in Texas against Watson, the lawsuit states that the plaintiff had her first massage sessions with Watson during the summer of 2020 and that his “behavior grew worse.” During the third and final massage, she alleges in the lawsuit that Watson exposed himself to her, touched the woman between the legs and “repeatedly requested” the plaintiff have sex with him.

According to the lawsuit, the woman changed her mind about suing Watson after watching HBO’s “Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel” last week. On that show, two other women, Ashley Solis and Kyla Hayes, who have also accused Watson of inappropriate sexual conduct, criticized the Browns for giving the quarterback an NFL-record $230 million guaranteed contract after trading for him in March.”

A couple of Deshaun Watson’s accusers recently opened up on how it felt seeing him walk away with a mega contract following the legal process.

“It’s just like a big ‘screw you,'” Ashley Solis told HBO.

Deshaun Watson’s legal team maintains that he has “no regrets” because he did nothing wrong during any of the massage visits.

The newest lawsuit mentioned that sentiment in their documents.

“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 revictimization of the plaintiffs,” the latest lawsuit states. “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.”
