Here we go again.

Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson reached settlements in 20 of the 24 civil cases pending against him. The remaining four women’s lawyer, Tony Buzbee, previously stated he would move forward with a lawsuit against the Texans for their alleged role in Watson’s alleged sexual assault. Buzbee followed through on his promise earlier this week, and a result of his lawsuit, we’re finding out some more info about the accusers.

“Today we filed the first case of what will likely be many against the Houston Texans related to Deshaun Watson’s behavior,” Buzbee said in a press release. “Suffice it to say, the overwhelming evidence collected indicating that the Houston Texans enabled Watson’s behavior is incredibly damning. We believe the Texans knew or most certainly should have known of Watson’s conduct. Beyond that, we believe the filing speaks for itself.”

The petition alleges that Watson wanted nothing to do with massages performed at the team’s facility, and that he had very little interest in using the services of the team’s selected massage therapy provider, Genuine Touch. The petition alleges hat in June 2020 the owner of Genuine Touch “complained to the Texans that Watson was seeking out unqualified strangers for massages via Instagram,” and that “Watson was putting himself in danger of contracting Covid, or getting himself sued.”

There was also an allegation that at least Genuine Touch therapists had sexual relations with multiple players on the Texans. At least one of those therapists were fired for doing so.

“There is an allegation in this lawsuit that at least two Genuine Touch therapists had sexual relations with multiple Texans players, the Texans knew of this activity, and at least one Genuine Touch therapist was fired due to sexual activity with Texans players”

The petition accuses the Texans of turning a “blind eye” to Watson’s behavior, they even facilitated NDA’s for him.

“Watson was a Houston Texans’ employee; individuals within the Texans organization knew or should have known of Watson’s conduct,” the petition contends.

The Texans have issued the following statement regarding today’s development:

“We are aware of the lawsuit filed against us today. Since March 2021, we have fully supported and complied with law enforcement and the various investigations. We will continue to take the necessary steps to address the allegations against our organization.”
