Two More Lawsuits Reportedly Set to Be Filed Against Deshaun Watson

The Deshaun Watson lawsuits keep on coming.

Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson possibly could be facing two more lawsuits, which would bring the total count up to 26 active civil lawsuits. Houston attorney Tony Buzbee, who is representing the 24 women with active lawsuits against Deshaun Watson alleging sexual misconduct, said that he expects his law firm to file a 25th lawsuit against the Browns quarterback “in due course,” as first reported by KPRC 2 in Houston.  According to Jonathan Jones of CBS Sports, the lawsuit was referred to Buzbee by an Atlanta-based attorney.

Buzbee also said that the firm has been contacted by a 26th woman who watched Ashley Solis and Kyla Hayes, two of the other plaintiffs, give their first national TV interviews with HBO’s Real Sports With Bryant Gumbel and “was compelled to come forward,” per the report.

The firm has also been contacted by a woman who says she watched the @ealsportshbo episode and “was compelled to come forward.” That would be the 26th lawsuit against Watson, who has professed his innocence throughout.

The accounts of sexual misconduct range from Watson allegedly refusing to cover his genitals to the quarterback “touching [a plaintiff] with his penis and trying to force her to perform oral sex on him.”

The league is investigating Watson, with commissioner Roger Goodell saying in late May that the league is “nearing the end of the investigation.”

But a suspension decision isn’t expected until the Summer.
